  • Our new project ATTACC for an AuTomated TAx Compliance for Cross-border Trading with GRAN-IoT – held its kick-off meeting 8 and 9 October 2024!
    by Audrey Bienvenu on 09/10/2024 at 13:58

    The last 8th and 9th of October 2024, the AuTomated TAx Compliance for Cross-border Trading with GRAN-IoT (ATTACC) project held its Plenary Kickoff meeting in a hybrid mode with our CELTIC-NEXT Director. This first official meeting was the occasion to review and present all partners and work package duties. The 7 consortium members from UK, Turkiye and Israel are the following:Brunel University London, UK (coordinator) Planet Computers Ltd, UK RunEL NGMT, Israel Bewell Technology Industry & Trade Inc., Türkiye Vektora, Türkiye MNG Airlines, TürkiyeIn total this project total budget is up to 2710.3 K€, and its goal is to reduce administration burden on taxpayers in addition to being reliable and secure and move compliance upstream closer to taxable events. This project proposal demonstrates how this could be achieved through Generic Radio Access Network (GRAN)-IoT-enabled cross-border trading. This project seeks to reduce frictions in international trade that stem from data duplication and complex administrative processes to deliver an automated cross-border tax and customs compliance capability. This is achieved by tracking goods as they pass through the border with the use of GRAN-IoT-based localisation. GRAN-IoT sensors are attached to goods, pallets, unit load devices or containers, in a “Russian-Doll hierarchy” and announce landing to a GRAN situated at the point of entry in the destination country. The GRAN makes the system internationally compatible and viable as it can interoperate with multiple wireless technologies. Landing events notify a Logistics Tracking service which monitors supply chain flows and in turn notifies a Smart Data Service that aggregates tracking information. This information is shared with a Distributed Ledger Technology-based tax service which employs smart contracts to detect taxable events, calculate the right amount of tax and trigger tax payments to enforce compliance and make tax and trade effortless. The proposed infrastructure capability, namely AuTomated TAx Compliance for Cross-border Trading with GRAN-IoT (ATTACC) will be developed with Agile methodology and embrace iterative development and testing to deliver a working end-to-end communications infrastructure.

  • The Rise of Digital Factories and its Challenges for Full Implementation
    by Salah-Eddine SAADI on 12/03/2025 at 11:00

    The Rise of Digital Factories and its Challenges for Full ImplementationSalah-Eddine SAADIWed, 03/12/2025 - 11:00The little coffee capsules are one of today’s modern inventions that you would have either seen or made your coffee from in your coffee machine. Along with their en masse production in a factory, what’s little known is their end-to-end journey from being birthed to being packed. Interestingly but not surprisingly, a fully digitalized or automated factory can do all that’s required with putting the capsules together, from start to finish. I had the pleasure of visiting our Orange Customer Innovation Center (CIC) in Paris – a space for experimentation and collaboration with a co-innovation approach. It offers a real-time smart industry showcase of a fully digitalized, high-performance coffee factory production that would transform what you might think of a digital factory. A digital factory leverages upon digitalization and automation as enablers to optimize continuous data flows that offer valuable insights into the lifecycle of products and production for smart decision-making. This means that advanced technology through secure and robust connectivity is optimized to streamline operations, boost productivity, reduce errors, and enable real-time monitoring.

This means that advanced technology through secure and robust connectivity is optimized to streamline operations, boost productivity, reduce errors, and enable real-time monitoring.How it worksThe digitalization steps encompass quality control and beans’ sorting, grinding, distribution of pod base (empty capsules), dosing, tamping, and sealing, which involve several control and packaging devices and mechanism across a network infrastructure and powered by different solutions.Here’s how it works. At the start of production, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems would enable the status of production lines to be monitored in real time – from machine status to performance data for improving productivity, and the operational efficiency of the environment.The stage of condition monitoring would provide indicators tailored to each production cycle and manage the fluidity of the manufacturing processes to minimise any losses. Thermal imaging quality control then helps to detect irregularities or defects before it moves into quality control.Moving further into the advanced module, the filtering takes place by sorting out non-compliance capsules and their weight / colors, before they are deemed to have passed the test to be sealed, packed, and customized where needed.Benefits and pain pointsIn the illustrated real-life example of the coffee factory at the CIC, the transformation of manufacturing processes and old-school facilities into a fully digital factory has shown to deliver multiple benefits to businesses.From increased efficiency and faster productivity / speed-to-market to data-driven maintenance and boost in innovation such as hyper-customization of customer products, there are multiple measurable outcomes with boost in business performance.However, the hard truth is that not all digital factory implementations would end up offering advantages to the respective organizations. Realizing a concept into a full-scale model can be riddled with different challenges and bottlenecks along the deployment process.Aligning these challenges are important to ensure the successful conversion to a digital factory, and recognizing what can be done at the onset based on the followingi)    Employee training and talent recruitmentSkilled human workers are required to intelligently operate machines or implement a digitalization strategy or plans for a smart manufacturing environment to take place. Hence, humans need to be upskilled or reskilled to evolve alongside technology and solutions. Besides the IT talent gap, resistance to changes is often cited as a foremost challenge.ii)    Leadership supportThe management team / leaders need to be onboard with the full implementation and a comprehensive understanding of the requirements and challenges – i.e. what to invest in, the complexities involved and how to overcome, and how deployment can take place in phases. The lack of vision or proper planning by top management is also a common cause for failure to take off.iii)    Integration of existing technology with new componentsThorough planning and a well-thought-out process is required to integrate an organization’s existing business technology stack with new elements, or to interconnect between its machines and systems so that they ‘talk to each other with its multitude of data sources / platforms’. There’s also the need to consider legacy infrastructure that is hard to migrate / shiftiv)    Acute interpretation and analysis of data to be actionizedRequires a precise understanding and interpretation of data from the industrial equipment to facilitate actions and better decision-making across the board Cross-functional involvement and transparency that keeps factory floor employees in the loop for them to take ownership of decisions and provide active advice on what needs to be done when a situation calls for.v)    Budget allocationUpgrading to a digital factory requires investments and funding, hence understanding priorities and what impacts that are to be achieved in the long run would help set aside the costs required. Start with baby steps before gradually scaling up.Meeting challenges head-on with solutionsWhile our digital factory is a proof point that shows how plants can implement digitalization to scale their production, it requires working through some of the mentioned challenges and building an equally adept digital workforce.The silo functions between IT teams and the rest of the organization’s business departments need to be blurred so that teams can better leverage on the value-add of smart manufacturing or digital factory to achieve key outcomes and run the successful initiative and implementation.Orange Business can support customers in transforming and optimizing their businesses with our end-to-end expertise in integration, connectivity, infrastructure, application and sustainable digitalization of assets, people, processes, and workflows.

  • Smart Industry: Revitalizing the factory floor by leveraging maturity assessment for transformation
    by Elaine sherman on 14/02/2025 at 20:06

    Smart Industry: Revitalizing the factory floor by leveraging maturity assessment for transformationElaine shermanFri, 02/14/2025 - 20:06How mature is your factory floor's operational experience and uptake of Industry 4.0, and are you ready to take it to the next level? The factory floor is often forgotten when it comes to operational experience in the industrial environment. However, it is pivotal to boosting production line output and improving worker satisfaction as part of an overarching operations improvement strategy.Operational experience addresses the digital tools, processes and infrastructure that improve performance, productivity and worker motivation. It can also reduce costs and ultimately improve quality and customer satisfaction.How mature is your factory floor's operational experience and uptake of Industry 4.0, and are you ready to take it to the next level?Bringing data analytics to the factory floorAccurate data is fundamental to Industry 4.0, but its collection on the factory floor can be difficult, inconsistent and manually intensive. This can lead to poor insights. In addition, older machines may not have data collection capabilities. This may require gateways or sensors to pull in or create new data. In addition, there may be legal hoops to jump through. Some vendors, for example, may have contracts that deny enterprises accessing some internal data unless done via an API to the cloud.According to IDC, becoming a data-driven enterprise requires an honest assessment of the current state and a willingness to adopt change to improve operational performance. To manage the data produced on the factory floor, an actionable strategy for what to do with the captured data and where its value lies is essential. This strategy should consider all production facilities and interrelated processes, not just individual machines.Identifying strengths, inefficiencies and opportunitiesEvery factory has its own pain points to consider. The best place to start is with an initial operational experience maturity assessment to understand the specifics of the factory floor and implement the right solutions, training and safety mechanisms. This can include consultation with workers who can provide a full picture of the inner workings of the processes they are responsible for, areas they are worried about, and where improvements can be made.By investing in a maturity assessment, enterprises can pinpoint issues and where their investment is best targeted to achieve business outcomes. It allows them to avoid costly disruptions, ramp up the adoption of digital technologies and maximize productivity, while keeping workers happy and motivated.Continuous improvement in Industry 4.0Cultural and operational transformation, including organizational restructuring and technological integration, are also an important part of operational experience. Cultural transformation is vital because it lays the foundation for successful adoption and sustainability of operational improvements.This continuous improvement mindset can sometimes cause resistance among workers worried about automation, for example. This is especially the case if changes disrupt traditional workflows or require significant adjustments in worker behavior.In terms of digital industry, workers need to understand that technology is not there to replace their roles but to open up opportunities. While insights can optimize processes, human judgment is still critical for handling unexpected events or complex problem-solving on the factory floor.In fact, operational experience frees up workers from mundane and repetitive tasks to handle the surprising and accidental, allowing them to focus on problem-solving and process improvement. Change management and training can explain how their roles will become more engaging as a result, reducing worker churn.This is critical to the bottom line. McKinsey estimates that each frontline employee departing can cost an enterprise $52,000 annually in recruiting, training, onboarding and productivity losses, which can add up to a significant amount across production lines.Operational experience improvements in actionWe have helped several manufacturers improve their Industry 4.0 processes on the factory floor.One industrial customer found it difficult to locate tools in its warehouse to maintain big machines. Workers found it frustrating, wasting unnecessary time. To solve this issue, we worked with the shop floor to understand the industrial processes and provided them with a real-time inventory and location system. An interactive map highlights the location of all the tools tagged with a tracking sensor. The system has enabled the shop-floor team to see the tools' whereabouts accurately and better manage resources.Consulting with another customer, we talked to the shop-floor team and found it challenging to manage production lines. Daily planning was done on paper and included the entire manufacturing process down to packaging and dispatch. This excess information overload was confusing staff and causing production issues.Orange Business developed a visual management system that splits the production lines into screens, similar to the departure board at an airport. The real-time system eliminates excessive data, simplifies production line visibility and makes it much easier to manage production line processes.Production line perspectiveImplementing the right digital industry strategy on the factory floor really is a win-win situation. By strategically evaluating how well processes, machines and personnel perform in a production line environment, the shop floor can maximize the value of OT data linked to an IT environment for smart decision-making.Running an initial maturity assessment of the operational experience, however, is crucial to ensuring the readiness and capabilities of the enterprise and its workers to adapt to new processes and technologies —whether you are starting out or looking to see where you sit on the development curve.Without the right foundational elements in place, such as data availability and work skills in production facilities, enterprises will not be able to take advantage of the benefits operational experience offers, leaving them frustrated and disappointed.This is exactly why Orange Business devised an assessment tool that will accelerate your journey toward optimizing your Industry 4.0 strategy. It will enable you to align with industry best practices and build a clear and actionable roadmap for success.Understanding your Industry 4.0 maturity is pivotal in providing insights into how effectively you manage operations on the shop floor and across the entire plant.

  • A smartphone on wheels: connectivity is key to EV evolution
    by Baptiste Faure on 12/02/2025 at 12:00

    A smartphone on wheels: connectivity is key to EV evolutionBaptiste FaureWed, 02/12/2025 - 12:00 The electric vehicle (EV) market in Asia Pacific (APAC) leads the world today but is up against challenges. With production and shipment numbers slowing down throughout the region in 2024, personalized services can be the engine that sustains APAC’s EV economy and powers it forward.APAC continues to be the world’s leader in EV uptake, with record EV sales levels recorded in 2023 and comprising over 50% of the overall global market size. But sales and shipments did slow down somewhat in 2024.The slowdown has been due to a range of factors throughout the region. While China’s EV sales remain robust, Japan saw sales drop 8% due to production disruptions from certification issues. Korea’s sales fell 7%, impacted by the termination of an EV-specific tax incentive plus high domestic interest rates. EV sales in ASEAN were affected by higher financing costs, increasing household debt, and tightening credit availability. What is the EV industry to do? Personalized services can offer a road ahead.The changing nature of the connected vehicle consumerImproved connectivity will play a crucial role in powering EV sales. Innovations in EVs are changing consumer sentiment: compared to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs have redesigned the modern vehicle and the driving experience. Traditional instrument clusters and gear shifters are replaced with large tablets that control every aspect of the vehicle. Want to switch on your air conditioning on a hot day to cool your vehicle before you get to it in the car park? Your personalized mobile app can do that for you. Now, consumers see the connected car as a lifestyle accessory – effectively a smartphone on wheels. You might have heard of the car referred to as the third living space, where people spend time between the office and home. It’s something that’s becoming an accepted norm.Consumers want this shift. They want more than just a car that is environmentally friendly; they want a vehicle that gives them a truly connected experience with the same kinds of personalized services and features they get everywhere else in daily life. According to McKinsey, 55% of consumers in China say they are willing to change automotive brands if it means they get better services. Similarly, Deloitte found that consumers in India, China, and Southeast Asia are also more willing to pay for connected services compared to consumers surveyed in the United States, Japan, and Germany.Improved connected servicesConnected services continue to grow in scope and variety. Services that positively impact the driving experience itself are essential, such as real-time navigation that offers real-time traffic updates, rerouting options, and points of interest along the routes. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is another, offering adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking to enhance safety and driving comfort on car journeys.Safety and security are imperatives, where remote vehicle management allow drivers to control and monitor vehicles remotely through smartphone apps, with options like locking/unlocking, checking fuel levels, and starting the engine from outside the vehicle. Connected vehicles should also offer instant access to emergency services, stolen vehicle tracking, and real-time vehicle diagnostics to help keep the vehicle, driver, and passengers safe. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, which connects cars to other vehicles and infrastructure, can improve traffic flow, reduce accidents, and even identify potholes.Then there is the smartphone and personalization angle. In-vehicle infotainment must allow passengers to seamlessly stream music, podcasts, and videos from all their favorite apps like YouTube, Spotify, and others. The vehicle also needs to provide customized user profiles that remember seat positions, climate settings, and infotainment preferences for each user. All those apps and services need to be constantly apprised using over-the-air (OTA) updates to keep up with the latest software upgrades and new features without the need to visit service centers.Moving forward, we will see a shift towards the software-defined vehicle, where the car will evolve from a static, hardware-defined product to an upgradeable, platform-based mobility solution that’s defined by its software. That will mean vehicles are able to offer higher automated driving functionality, more advanced human-machine interfaces (HMIs) like AI-powered virtual assistants, and potentially enhanced driver services like smart access and virtual reality heads-up displays. Infotainment will be increasingly personalized and can move anywhere with you. The flexible, scalable nature of the software-defined vehicle will enable faster development and integration of new services and features along the vehicle’s lifecycle, via the cloud.It all needs connectivityNone of these next-generation services can function without fast, reliable connectivity. Connectivity is the bridge that enables in-vehicle services that mirror the consumer’s digital lifestyle and is crucial to enabling the seamless transition from “at-home” to “in-vehicle.” It is the common thread that runs -through the web of complex challenges that can be tackled head-on through the value-add we can bring to the local providers in their home markets.By having the right partner in the right places to work with, auto manufacturers will be empowered with the connectivity they need to power ahead and enable sales in both local and wider, global markets. Offering precisely that enablement, Orange Business cooperates with the world’s leading auto manufacturers to unlock the potential of connected cars with the global connectivity they need to connect and sell cars not just in APAC, but everywhere in the world. We are distinct in that we’re able to be the essential link between the smartphone, auto manufacturer, and infrastructure – our global network coverage is underpinned by the local-level teams of experts present in local countries to support manufacturers’ activities and expansion plans.So, while there might have been a slowdown in overall EV sales, make no mistake - connectivity will drive the industry forward. According to GlobalData, the APAC connected vehicle technologies market will grow at a CAGR of more than 4% from now to 2028, while McKinsey projects that by 2030, 95% of newly sold vehicles worldwide will be connected, up from around 50% today. Along with the need for personalized customer relationships and elevated experiential services, connectivity is clearly the third driving force that will power the future of connected cars and EV growth and sales in coming years throughout APAC and the wider global landscape.Recommended for youOrange Business is enabling new use cases and driving connected car and EV transformation forward A global IoT network is key to connectivity and data collection capabilities to empower connected vehicles IoT allows you to gather data close to your users and improve operational performance of connected cars Automotive Retail Smart Cities Blogs Tuan Le Tuan Le is Managing Director for ASEAN, Japan and Korea at Orange Business.

    Bridge to sustainable tech - Cisco Live 2025obs-com.suppor…Mon, 02/10/2025 - 07:00Discover how Cisco and Orange Business are collaborating to drive sustainability and innovation at Cisco Live 2025 Discover how Cisco and Orange Business are collaborating to drive sustainability and innovation at Cisco Live 2025In today's world, collaboration between technology companies is essential to drive meaningful change. Cisco and Orange Business have joined forces to not only reduce carbon footprints for their customers, but also to foster innovative solutions. This teamwork is embodied by Orange Business presence at Cisco Live 2025 Amsterdam, where a demonstration highlights their commitment to a more sustainable future.Recognizing the interdependencies in achieving both companies’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals, and the understanding that a new kind of collaborative partnership is required to help accelerate progress, Cisco and Orange Business have established a strong partnership through a first-of-its-kind Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration is built on the pillars of carbon impact, circular economy, eco-design, and go-to-market strategies. Both companies have set ambitious targets: Orange Business aims for a 45% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030* and carbon neutrality by 2040, while Cisco targets net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2040**.A sustainable framework for a circular journeyThe first shared outcome of this MoU is a joint sustainable framework underpinned by the principles of a circular economy. This three-stages approach of “Make, Use, Reuse” aims to guide customers all along their sustainable journey. In the Make phase, Orange Business focuses on the design of lowest-impact infrastructures with the highest quality of service, to meet tender requirements and minimize digital carbon impact.Customers usually include in their supplier’s selection requests of mandatory information about their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports. Orange Business has developed a tool called ESGenius, which is a chatbot designed to efficiently gather this information from Orange Business and Cisco. This tool allows their sales teams to quickly access public reports, ensuring they have the necessary information to answer customers’ tenders.The next step involves designing infrastructures and architectures for the customers of Orange Business with the lowest environmental impact while maintaining service quality. Once the best design is validated, sales teams emphasize responsible purchasing. Orange Business ReFresh Finder tool is an internal platform showcasing refurbished equipment availability. These remanufactured items offer the same quality and guarantees as new equipment but at a lower price and environmental impact. The Use phase focuses on optimizing energy consumption of installed equipment to reduce GHG emissions from electricity consumption and operational costs for customers.Once the equipment is installed at the customers' locations, Orange Business provides solutions focusing on energy management. The carbon footprint of enterprise equipment, like routers or access points, is primarily linked to their ongoing energy use. Since customers are responsible for their electricity bills, energy savings have a direct financial impact. Orange Business’ approach involves two main steps: first, measuring the energy consumption of the equipment, and second, reducing that consumption to align with actual usage needs. Orange Business solutions allow our customers to correlate their data of equipment usage with their building management system. The solution establishes rules for powering devices on or off based on real needs. This integrated approach makes it possible to effectively reduce energy consumption across all equipment, ultimately benefiting customers both environmentally and financially.The Re-Use stage closes the loop on take-back programs to recover end-of-use equipment, allowing for either refurbishment and reintroduction into the market or responsible recycling, minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.Cisco Live 2025 demonstration : bridging the gap between IT and OTFollowing the engagement made by Orange Business and Cisco CEOs at the MWC'24, this sustainable partnership will be showcased during Cisco Live 2025 Amsterdam. This demonstration shows how IT equipment can be transformed into intelligent sensors, bridging the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT).Key topics of the demonstration include:IT Equipment as Sensors: The demonstration will focus on how IT equipment such as servers, routers, and network devices are instrumented to both measure their energy consumption and transmit usage information in real time, turning them into sensors that feed data into a unified platform. The Sustainability Data Hub: This solution offers a centralized real-time view of multi-source energy consumption data, enabling data-driven decisions for environmental sustainability. The data collected by V-App’s platform is then used to trigger automated actions such as adjusting lighting, managing HVAC, and controlling WiFi systems based on schedule and real-time usage, which enables optimization and energy savings. Live Objects: the demo will showcase how data collected from IT equipment is transmitted to V-App, which can then be integrated with Orange Business’ Live Objects platform, creating a bridge between IT and OT. This integration allows for a holistic approach to energy management, by correlating IT consumption with building management system data (e.g., room occupancy, outdoor temperature).The demonstration at Cisco Live 2025 Amsterdam illustrates the transformative potential of the Cisco and Orange Business partnership. By bridging the gap between IT and OT, and through their commitment to the circular “Make, Use, Reuse” framework, they are creating innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. This collaboration underscores the commitment of both companies to environmental responsibility and technological innovation.Recommended for youMWC’24 Orange Business demos – Bridge to Sustainable Tech Is your IT vendor transparent on carbon emissions ?

    Orange Business offers SMEs expert guidance on ESG data collectionElaine shermanWed, 02/05/2025 - 06:36Orange Business is leading the way in supporting compliance initiatives for itself and its customers around the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Over 50,000 enterprises will be expected to report their sustainability data for the first time this year. SMEs will now need to think about their reporting requirements as their deadline looms, with the first reports due in 2027. Orange Business is leading the way in supporting compliance initiatives for itself and its customers around the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Over 50,000 enterprises will be expected to report their sustainability data for the first time this year. SMEs will now need to think about their reporting requirements as their deadline looms, with the first reports due in 2027.Three key takeaways:We are offering a Flash Assessment for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that is tried and tested internally by our data experts. It will enable them to put a strategy in place to identify and gather relevant data points in a structured manner from diverse data sources to support CSRD reporting Early adoption of a data strategy, guided by Orange Business, streamlines the CSRD reporting process It enables enterprises to better understand the risks and opportunities of sustainability and economic gains as part of an overarching business strategyThis year is pivotal for sustainability reporting. Following large corporations' mandatory reporting for EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) disclosures, the time has come for SMEs to start their compliance journey.CSRD is designed to raise the bar for corporate sustainability reporting across the board in Europe. Beyond the regulatory landscape, CSRD enables companies to understand the sustainability risks and opportunities they face and integrate them into their overall business strategy. It will also enable them to benchmark with peers and target areas for improvement, ensuring resources are funneled efficiently.CSRD reporting, however, presents many challenges, including essential insight into the entire value chain, audit assurances to prevent greenwashing and aligning internal processes to adhere to European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). These make ESG data requirements extremely intensive to have an impact. Companies, for example, face disclosure demands on approximately 500 data points to report on ten ESG topics, including pollution, resource use and biodiversity.This is no small task. To help SMEs reach their targets, Orange Business has created the Flash Assessment to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of sustainability disclosures for CSRD. It analyzes ESG maturity and data readiness, examines governance and tools required for CSRD reporting and identifies any data gaps that could cause issues.Effective data is the backbone of CSRDThe data that needs to be harvested is extensive due to CSRD’s stringent requirements for comprehensive, reliable and standardized sustainability disclosures. Many SMEs will not have collected data on such a broad-ranging spectrum before.Companies will need to work with multiple data sources, both inside and outside the company, and collecting it all is a complex operation before analysis. Data needs to be complete, trustworthy and accurate. At the same time, the methodology and sources used to collect data must be clearly documented and disclosed.Companies must report on how sustainability impacts their business and how their own activities may influence society and the environment. To do this, they will need to integrate the dual aspects of impact materiality and financial materiality to ensure that their sustainability reporting reflects both their external impacts and internal financial risks and opportunities. Impact materiality examines how a company’s activities impact the environment, society and the economy. Financial materiality examines how sustainability-related factors affect a company’s financial position, performance or value creation.Remodeling sustainability reportingThe Flash Assessment is key to creating a roadmap for CSRD for SMEs, including streamlining the implementation and collecting, modifying and structuring data. As with all our solutions, it is tried and tested internally and supported by our extensive experience in organizing data.How we do this for youFollowing a series of assessment workshops that look at an organization’s current – if any – CSR reporting, tools and processes, Orange Business experts will help draw up a transformation plan aligned with the requirements of CSRD compliance. Areas examined include tools, skills and data mapping to identify any data gaps. It also looks at data models, data owners’ roles and governance policies.The workshops will guide enterprises through the full CSRD compliance journey, from the raw data stage through harvesting and analysis. They also examine solutions that may make the process easier, such as centralizing data in a data lake, which provides a robust foundation for managing the diverse and complex data required for CSRD sustainability.View CSRD as an opportunityDon’t view CSRD as yet another regulatory hurdle to overcome. CSRD presents a golden opportunity for SMEs to add value to their businesses.By engaging early and embedding the directive’s requirements into business strategies, companies support a greener future and can benefit from insights to enhance efficiency gains and sustainable growth.Please get in touch with our account team to discuss a Flash Assessment, and take the first steps in creating your CSRD transformation project.Recommended for youIs your IT vendor transparent on carbon emissions?

  • How do we make Augmented Intelligence a reality in critical systems?
    by Thales Group on 19/11/2020 at 13:40

    Today, Artificial Intelligence is pushing our technologies to a new frontier. The fast moving digital revolution gives us a glimpse of the potential of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, and the risks that come with it. When working in regulated industries such as aerospace, transportation or defence, we must ensure that our technologies are certifiable, explainable, and trustworthy while keeping people accountable for critical decisions. To allow us to solve problems of greater complexity, while maintaining the same trust level, we have adopted a new AI Strategy which puts humans at the centre: Augmented Intelligence. Two Thales employees based in Montreal and in Quebec City in Canada- Siegfried Usal, General Manager, and Jean-François Gagnon, Human Factors and Cognition Scientist –explain what kind of approach Augmented Intelligence is, and what areas of application they’re working on.

He discusses how best to figure out and predict issues that IoT devices might be facing, and how to get at the data you really need from within your organization and from your IoT devices. He provides examples of how some of the top communications service providers today are using AI today to better analyze the huge volume of data coming from connected IoT devices and sensors into their networks (along with all their operational, customer and business data) and, without manual intervention, make better decisions, provide smarter new services and a better customer experience while reducing costs.

  • How AI is supporting cybersecurity
    by Thales Group on 18/02/2020 at 10:16

    As in many other sectors, artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer in cybersecurity. In an increasingly connected and digital world, cyberprotection needs a powerful tool such as AI, able to learn from new behaviours, adapt to an ever-changing environment and be customised to clients’ needs. Thales IT security expert Olivier Bettan explains how AI can be used for protecting a business from cyberattacks and the different approaches Thales is working on.

  • How AI embedded in aircraft flight decks is supporting airline pilots
    by Thales Group on 14/11/2019 at 15:27

    Artificial Intelligence is one of the key drivers for the shift to a more digital aviation sector, and by interacting with other digital enablers (connectivity, big data) is the gateway to more precise, safer flight and more efficiency in the cockpit – as pilots receive sharper, more blended data and information. This all represents an invaluable aid in pilots’ tasks of navigating aircraft from A to B, ever more swiftly and safely. AI is already present on board aircraft and Thales will increasingly embed AI in the solutions we deliver. Everybody is set to gain from this trend across the aviation chain, and for Thales delivering AI capability is also an integral part of the certifiable Thales TrUE AI framework.


THIS IS AI in Decisive Moments by Thales Artificial intelligence is advancing society and creating pathways to completely transform the everyday. The new possibilities it creates are defined not by software and hardware, or numbers and data. They are instead defined by how they help people lead better, happier and safer lives. This mini-series will examine AI and how it actually affects the world around us, with one company's digital transformation in focus. At Thales, AI is being created for decisive moments. Moments which ensure the safe operations of autonomous trains, enhance security at airports, create better and more personalized travel experiences, reduce cybersecurity risk, and much more. So stay tuned as we walk through a world of the new and evolving world of tech driven by AI.

  • AI Behavior: Keeping an Eye on AI
    by Thales Group on 07/08/2019 at 18:45

    As humans, we tend to give abstract concepts a voice and a face, because it makes it easier for us to understand them. In the case of AI, we have taken this to the extreme with anthropomorphized stories. In the third and final episode of this mini-series on AI in decisive moments, we are joined by Philippe Keryer, Executive Vice-President of Strategy, Research and Technology at Thales who is helping define the future of TrUE AI that is creating more realistic stories allowing us to better understand the technology. Join us as Philippe discusses his thoughts on how the technology can be architected to achieve transparent, understandable and ethical AI.
