  • Generative AI: getting started with confidence
    by Elaine sherman on 15/04/2024 at 18:01

    Generative AI: getting started with confidence Elaine sherman Mon, 04/15/2024 - 18:01 For generative artificial intelligence, 2023 was the year of recognition. With ChatGPT leading the way, individuals and businesses have become aware of AI tools' vast potential. While some rightly express reservations, this technology is set to become indispensable in business transformation and development. The importance of taking the lead A study by Gartner highlighted a glaring deficiency: only 4% of the surveyed decision-makers consider themselves sufficiently mature in generative AI. They struggle to move beyond the "zero stage" of the ChatGPT test, which involves allowing users to test the tool without a defined objective or use case. However, 70% of them believe that this technology offers more advantages than risks. And rightly so: from improving operational efficiency and productivity to personalizing services, stimulating innovation and achieving economic gains, the benefits of generative AI are numerous and serve as a powerful catalyst for development and competitive advantage. It is essential to seize its potential today. AI, AIs Artificial intelligence: any tool used by a machine to replicate human behaviors, such as reasoning, planning and creativity (Source: European Parliament) Generative artificial intelligence: a category of AI that aims to produce new data resembling that created by humans, whether in the form of text, images or music (Source: Bpifrance) "Trustworthy" artificial intelligence: must exhibit the following three characteristics, which should be upheld throughout the system's lifecycle: "Lawful," ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations "Ethical," adhering to ethical principles and values "Robust," both technically and socially, as, even with good intentions, AI systems can unintentionally cause harm While each of these characteristics is necessary in themselves, they are not sufficient to achieve trustworthy AI. Ideally, these three characteristics should work in harmony and overlap. If tensions arise between these characteristics in practice, society should strive to address them. (Source: European Commission) Getting on board: Yes, but how? Implementing generative AI within a company requires a methodical approach. Firstly, it is important to familiarize employees with this technology to demystify what may seem complex and enigmatic. Training sessions, conferences and interactive workshops are a good starting point for teams. The second step is ideation, through workshops that identify and prioritize use cases. Only after these two essential phases can we move into "project mode" to establish the most suitable methodology for delivering tools quickly and deploying them through a change management plan to support employees, including training programs. By following this process, we can avoid pitfalls such as collecting inadequate data or introducing cognitive biases, which could turn a virtuous instrument into a counterproductive tool. The need for a single entry point Managing such a process is complex and poses a significant challenge for any company. This is where we come in, by offering our new one-stop shop that brings together all of the Orange Business expertise in artificial intelligence. With 4,000 experts dedicated to providing end-to-end support, we assist businesses of all sizes with trusted technologies, both in France and beyond. Supported by Orange Cyberdefense, our solutions ensure secure use of generative AI and guide towards ethical use cases that aim for a positive impact on companies, their employees, customers and society.   Recommended for you Inspiring, connecting and transforming in the age of AI Digital in 2 min: Data and AI: What opportunities thanks to data and artificial intelligence?

  • How we work today (and how we can do it better)
    by Elaine sherman on 05/04/2024 at 18:15

    How we work today (and how we can do it better) Elaine sherman Fri, 04/05/2024 - 18:15 The way we work has changed permanently. The shift to remote working during the pandemic unearthed new benefits for employers and employees. Now, hybrid is mainstream and workflows have transformed, but how prepared are you to manage it all? The way we work has changed permanently. The shift to remote working during the pandemic unearthed new benefits for employers and employees. Now, hybrid is mainstream and workflows have transformed, but how prepared are you to manage it all?   Companies have enabled more flexible work for employees, leveraging cloud collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams to support new working methods. But there’s a lot to manage. The shift was imposed on companies, with instant pressure to transform digital workflows. Companies had to enable workers with remote working tools to maintain productivity while building collaboration, communication and teamwork. And there was no real roadmap for it. Companies deployed cloud collaboration apps to workers often with no remote work experience. Admin, accounting and HR staff were suddenly expected to work remotely and remain productive. And also be collaborative, not just using Microsoft Teams and its messaging and voice and video calls, but with other apps like simultaneous commenting and editing on cloud-shared documents. Hybrid working is now mainstream. 83% of workers say hybrid working gives a better, more desirable work/life balance, and 60% of enterprises now have a remote work convention, versus 7% in 2017. There’s also been overall acceleration of workplace collaboration tools, with over a million companies using Microsoft Teams and 91% of Fortune 100 companies using it to collaborate and communicate. A third trend is enterprises focusing on digital workplace outcomes, with Gartner citing goals like retaining talented employees and achieving environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets. New ways of working, new workflows to manage Managing dispersed workforces requires replacing inefficient manual processes with organization-wide, user-centric digital workflows. Without digital workflows, your employee experiences will be fragmented, confused and counterproductive. Siloed, inefficient processes don’t enable a well-functioning dispersed workforce. This all relates to employee experience (EX), which is vital to driving productivity, efficiency and job satisfaction from a newly hybrid workforce. One barrier to efficient digital workflows is insufficient focus on onboarding, adoption and training. Expecting workers to quickly adapt to digital workflows because they’re used to using social media doesn’t work. Many companies don’t get the full value they could, or should, from Microsoft Teams. This, in turn, means missing out on ROI and available productivity gains. EX is a transformative approach By focusing on EX, you can transform ways of working and embrace, then maximize, new digital workflows. Orange believes EX enables “positive productivity,” an approach where EX is enhanced by digital tools that empower workers with the desire and the means to be more effective. A user-centric approach is the path to managing these changing workflows successfully while also making workers happier and more productive. There are several challenges to enabling positive productivity. First, implementing an employee-centric digital workplace that considers workers’ needs. World-class EX is second, driving greater employee engagement. A high-performance hybrid work environment is third, adapting to new digital workflows and giving workers the tools to collaborate and communicate effectively. How quickly you transform the digital workplace is another factor. So is shifting the role of your IT teams, so they spend less time on digital workplace management and more on bringing value to the business. There’s also the need to become a responsible company and work toward ESG goals – 86% of employees want to work for companies that share their moral and ethical values, making ESG important to EX. These are the building blocks of a positive-productivity philosophy. More than “just” collaboration to EX and hybrid Microsoft Teams is a powerful cloud collaboration tool that enables hybrid workforces with an EX that makes them more productive. Adoption and support are key parts of successful EX, since having numerous cloud collaboration tools counts for nothing if employees don’t know how to use them. There’s also the IT skills and expertise needed to implement and assist with all of this, along with the cybersecurity that needs to be built in by design. It all adds up to an effective digital workplace that enables enhanced EX and positive productivity. The right partner can empower you Orange Business understands what you need to enable an effective digital workplace with EX at the center of it. And working with the right partner who can enable your business with a forward-thinking, future-proofed digital workplace is the first step on the journey to enhanced EX and successfully navigating the new workflows inherent to hybrid. Our expertise enables our customers and partners with solutions like Microsoft 365 that enhance hybrid work environments, and our approach includes helping you give your employees more control over their own tools and EX using Power Platform and Copilot, whether or not they master low code/no code approaches. Positive productivity is the end goal, where employees have an EX built on digital tools that make them happier at work and more effective as a result. It’s a user-centric approach that we are confident can help take your business forward with your employees being as productive as possible.

  • Enabling the digital decade: the EU, infrastructure and tomorrow’s digital services today
    by Elaine sherman on 22/03/2024 at 15:51

    Enabling the digital decade: the EU, infrastructure and tomorrow’s digital services today Elaine sherman Fri, 03/22/2024 - 15:51 The Belgium Presidency of the Council of the European Union has made digital transition one of its priorities. What can we look forward to, and how will technology enable the services citizens and businesses need? The Belgium Presidency of the Council of the European Union has made digital transition one of its priorities. What can we look forward to, and how will technology enable the services citizens and businesses need? Belgium recently took over the Presidency of the EU Council and will hold the position for the first half of 2024. In that time, Belgium will seek to build on the progress and achievements made by the previous holder, Spain. It’s a period of possibilities, and Belgium has set six key priorities for its presidency. They include defending the rule of law, democracy and unity; strengthening competitiveness; pursuing a green and just transition; reinforcing the social and health agenda; protecting people and borders; and promoting a global Europe. Those are the overarching, umbrella goals. In specific tech terms, Belgium plans to “Prioritize a human-centered and sustainable approach to digital transition, strengthen Europe’s resilience to cybersecurity threats, address diverse challenges in telecommunications, and foster a coherent internal and external digital policy that encourages open strategic autonomy.” These are the philosophical goals of Belgium’s presidency period. Specific legislative priorities include the Gigabit Infrastructure Act, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act and the Cyber Resilience Act. Further, there are plans like the white paper announced by the EC on the Future of Connectivity, which should relate to the future of Europe’s digital infrastructure and pave the way for a regulatory upgrade that will support investment into networks and “facilitates the emergence of true pan-European operators with sufficient scale.” Evolving expectations and needs But all these good intentions face a range of challenges. For starters, different EU countries have different levels of digital maturity, but EU citizens and businesses generally expect to be able to access services online wherever they are located. And past the fundamental, core public services like health, education and welfare, citizens also expect to be able to access any exchange of information or financial service, covering areas like registering, licensing, applying, paying, borrowing, making inquiries and more. EU citizens expect services to be delivered more conveniently and efficiently, meaning government needs to find more cost-effective and user-friendly ways of doing that. It aligns with EU e-Government plans and the slogan “digital by default.” All these ambitious and admirable goals come with technology challenges. Designing and building such forward-looking infrastructure means overcoming connectivity, cybersecurity, data sovereignty and data residency issues. These mission-critical techs align with the key priorities for EU digital service delivery that have been laid out around fairness, inclusion, openness and trust. It means interoperability and cross-border data sharing among Member States are essential, with data security and privacy built in from day one. The right tools for the job These objectives need specific digital tools and solutions to achieve them. There is a need to strengthen digital sovereignty and communicate the differences between data sovereignty and data residency to citizens – the difference between the laws and jurisdiction that data is subject to and where it is physically stored. Governments need to focus on the benefits and improvements that data analytics can deliver to service delivery and citizen expectations. Technology and infrastructure are the enablers of next-generation public service delivery; getting them right at the start is essential. Cloud is the essential enabler of digital services and already powers many areas of daily life and work for EU citizens and businesses. Moving forward, cloud will enable the flexibility, efficiency, resilience, cost-effectiveness, agility and scalability governments need. Multicloud presents the most appropriate way ahead for digital service enablement and brings great agility and scalability to the mix. Still, it’s also a more complex cloud landscape comprising multiple providers, often located outside EU regulatory boundaries. A cloud networking approach can give governments a secure, scalable and automated cloud infrastructure underpinned by reliable services and guaranteed SLAs. There are other key technology areas like cybersecurity, which must be incorporated by design in all service rollouts, and AI, which is set to significantly impact EU services in coming years. AI will enhance governments’ capacity to process massive amounts of data rapidly and accurately and improve the speed and efficiency of service delivery by automating content generation processes. Forward-thinking administrations like Estonia, for example, have put in place plans to launch Bürokratt in 2025, a speech-based and text-based AI virtual assistant that will help citizens access online public services with enhanced user-friendliness and accessibility. Orange Business is proud to support the EU in all these progressive initiatives and innovative ways of delivering digital services to citizens. With that in mind, we have developed a white paper, Empowering EU: enabling next generation digital services, in which we dive deeper into the technologies, challenges and solutions that will drive the EU forward under Belgian presidency.

In the era of digital transformation, many organizations are considering the transition to Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTRs) to enhance their meeting experiences. This transition promises numerous benefits but also presents several risks, particularly when undertaken in-house without the assistance of an experienced service provider. This blog post aims to provide a quick overview of what it takes to get the benefits of MTRs, shed light on the potential pitfalls of an in-house transition, and explain how an experienced service provider can assist in this process. What it takes to transition to Microsoft Teams Rooms in a multinational company Transforming your meeting rooms into Microsoft Teams Rooms involves several steps and considerations. Here’s a high-level overview: Technology considerations: MTR solutions offer flexibility of purpose and even flexibility of movement throughout a space that traditional meeting rooms don’t. Any type of space and meeting can be optimized with Teams Rooms devices or Teams Rooms solutions. Meeting room uses and layouts: There are different types of meeting room layouts depending on the purpose of the meeting. For example, presentation-focused meetings, co-creation-focused meetings and a combination of both. Deployment: Deploying MTRs involves several phases. Microsoft provides guidance on how to plan, deploy and manage your Teams Rooms. Teams Rooms devices: MTR devices are designed to turn any space into a smart meeting room for inclusive collaboration. These devices are rigorously tested and easy to deploy, manage and secure. The transformation process requires careful planning and execution. It’s important to consider the specific needs of your organization and its various departments and branches. This includes understanding the types of meetings commonly held, the layout of the meeting rooms and the technology requirements for each room and location. The risk of in-house transition to Microsoft Teams Rooms While a transition to MTRs promises numerous benefits, it also presents several challenges, particularly when undertaken in-house without the assistance of an experienced service provider. Let’s shed light on these potential pitfalls. Inconsistent implementation One of the primary risks associated with in-house transition is inconsistent implementation across different meeting rooms, different sites and different countries. Microsoft Teams Rooms offer a wide range of features and functionalities that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each meeting room. However, without the expertise of a service provider, achieving a consistent implementation and user experience can be challenging, and inconsistency can lead to user frustration and reduced productivity, undermining the very benefits the transition aims to deliver. Complex support agreements Managing multiple vendors for different components of your Teams Rooms can lead to complex support agreements. Each vendor will likely have different Service Level Agreements (SLAs), management tools and support processes. This complexity can make problem and incident management extremely challenging, placing a significant burden on your IT team. Increased demand for support As the number of MTRs increases, so too will the demand for planned and reactive support. Your internal IT team may not have the capacity to handle this increased demand, leading to longer response times and potential downtime. This can disrupt meetings and negatively impact productivity. Security risks Security is a critical consideration in any digital transformation initiative. Microsoft Teams Rooms should not be treated like typical end-user workstations. Incorrect handling of security profiles, encryption and device configuration can lead to security risks. These risks can expose your organization to data breaches and other cyber threats, with potentially severe consequences. Lack of proactive monitoring and management Without a managed service provider, your organization would need to handle all monitoring and management tasks. This includes software updates, problem detection and problem resolution. These tasks can be time-consuming and complex, diverting resources away from other important IT initiatives. Limited insights Managed services offer advanced analytics, reporting and lessons at scale. Without these services, your organization may lack the necessary insights to make informed decisions about your Teams Rooms. Insights can help you understand room health, usage and equipment reliability, enabling you to optimize your meeting experiences. Risks can be mitigated with careful planning and execution. However, given the complexity and scale of deploying and managing Microsoft Teams Rooms in a multinational enterprise, utilizing a service provider could be a beneficial investment. How a service provider can help Some service providers focus just on implementation, while others provide end-to-end support and even managed services for previously implemented Microsoft Teams Rooms, regardless of who did it. Opting for these services can bring many benefits to your organization: Proactive monitoring and management: Managed services provide proactive monitoring and technical support. They continuously monitor the environment, checking for any faults, updates and break-fix guidance. This can help ensure that your Teams Rooms are always ready and functioning optimally. Software updates and enhanced security: Service providers can leverage their expertise and validation to ensure consistent, timely software updates and security patches for your Teams Rooms hardware, minimizing the burden on your IT staff. Enhanced insights: Managed services offer rich analytics, reporting and lessons at scale across many customers. These insights can help you understand room health, usage and equipment reliability, enabling you to make informed decisions about your Teams Rooms. 24/7 support: Managed services often come with 24/7 support from a team of Microsoft skilled engineers. This can provide peace of mind knowing that help is always available when needed. Reduced complexity: Managed services can simplify the deployment and management of Teams Rooms. They can also help ensure that your devices are secure. Summary In the case of multinational enterprises, the aforementioned services can be particularly valuable. However, with multiple departments and branches, managing Microsoft Teams Rooms can be very complex. Managed service providers can significantly help streamline this process, ensuring a consistent employee experience across all your locations. Learn more about Orange Business MTR services here.

The growing demand for zero emission transportation solutions remains pertinent for long-distance haulage with numerous opportunities for fleet operators. In combination with the current Combined Charging System [CCS], Megawatt Charging System [MCS] will become a game-changer in heavy-duty electrification.MCS charging can successfully contribute towards sustainable long-distance transport for heavy-duty vehicles. To drive further progress in the sustainable transformation of this high emitting transport sector, Siemens has introduced a prototype of the SICHARGE Megawatt Charging System. Based on the existing portfolio, the MCS consists of multiple SICHARGE UC150 power cabinets, a switching matrix and a customized MCS dispenser. The switching matrix is the central element in the MCS, bundling the output power of the charging stations and, depending on the requirement, directing the power to the MCS dispenser. Batteries commonly used in eTrucks could be charged from 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes at a suitable charging station with an output of around one megawatt.Markus Mildner, CEO eMobility, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, added: “Especially in long-distance transport, electric trucks and coaches will need fast MCS during the legally prescribed driving time break. To ensure nationwide distribution of this, various requirements must be met including on the governmental side. However, the successful test brings us a big step forward on the technology side and underlines our ambition to actively make transport more sustainable.”The road ahead: eMobility in long-distance haulage with numerous opportunities for fleet operatorsHeavy-duty vehicles1 [HDVs] are responsible for more than 25% of greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions from road transport in the European Union [EU]. Reducing these emissions is crucial to the EU’s objectives of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and lowering demand for imported fossil fuels. To deliver on climate ambitions and improve the EU air quality, the European Parliament has recently adopted new measures, to strengthen CO₂ emission reduction targets for new HDVs. CO₂ emissions from large trucks and buses will have to be reduced by 90% as of 2040. By 2030, new urban buses will need to reduce their emissions by 90% and become zero-emission vehicles by 2035.The electrification of long-distance trucking will change the business model of transport companies and create room for competitive advantage on several levels. More and more customers of transport companies are attaching importance to CO₂-neutral transportation of their goods – providers who cannot meet this requirement will miss out.1 MEPs adopt stricter CO₂ emissions targets for trucks and busesFor this press release PDF DownloadLinks Siemens Smart InfrastructureFollow us on X @siemens_press @siemensinfraSiemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) is shaping the market for intelligent, adaptive infrastructure for today and the future.
