Understand what is behind the expression "Data Driven" and take advantage of the advice to transform your company. The data era, an opportunity to become Data Driven To become a "data driven" company, you must already understand what the model is. A Data Driven structure relies on a set of data to make strategic decisions. In concrete terms, this iterative approach implies that during each business cycle, the organization collects and analyzes data to improve its actions during the next cycle. The underlying idea is not to acquire new analytical processes or state-of-the-art tools. By becoming Data Driven, the company shifts from an investment in technology to a managerial change.

Extended reality: an opportunity for the industry

Extended reality, a combination of virtual and augmented reality, continues its rise in the industrial world. Extended reality offers many benefits: better understanding of industrial processes and workstation ergonomics, decision support, time and productivity savings and improved profitability. Extended reality has 2 major applications: Testing: via virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), manufacturers can check the commissioning of a machine (real or mocked-up) in their laboratory or on a construction site. Simulation: by placing a virtual object around an existing part, manufacturers detect compatibility between machines and select the most appropriate purchase. Definition of extended reality Extended reality, or mixed reality, includes virtual reality and augmented reality. Mixed reality starts from the real world: on a smartphone screen or via glasses like Microsoft Hololens, the user sees his environment. Models or animations appear on top of the real world. They display either an object or information. These virtual elements are able to interact with the real world [...]

Data backup in companies: what plan should be put in place?

Laptops, smartphones, connected objects... Data production has never been so high. At the same time, companies have never been so dependent on the information they produce and receive. It is therefore essential to control the lifespan of data, its storage and backup. Although everyone agrees on its importance, computer backup remains problematic: where to start? What types of backup are there? Should we only deal with sensitive data? What about data recovery? To avoid the risks of data loss for your company, rely on the advice of our experts. The risks of data loss Regardless of the size of your business, backing up your data is essential. Tools are not eternal and you are never safe from loss. Human risks such as theft, hacking, ransomware, or mishandling can jeopardize the cybersecurity of your data. Environmental hazards cause flooding or fire in your premises. Machines are also not infallible: loss of a server or crash of a hard drive happens from time to time. For the company, a loss of data can be a serious problem.

At the end of February 2019, The Information published a groundbreaking news: the cloud Microsoft Azure solution is joining forces with virtualization specialist VMware. With an estimated revenue of $11 billion in 2018, Microsoft Azure is well below its competitor Amazon Web Service (AWS) with its $25.65 billion. Could this new alliance be a response to the competition, which already uses VMware's solution? What is the interest for VMware in this partnership?

Edge computing and cybersecurity: beware of risks

On September 24, at the Microsoft Ignite conference, cybersecurity was in the spotlight! The company announced the pre-launch of a new tool: Azure Data Box Edge. Dedicated to connected objects, Microsoft's tool is a mini Data Center focused on edge computing. What is the interest of this solution? Since the emergence of connected objects, the collection and processing of data in complete security are more central than ever. From Cloud computing, companies have moved to Edge computing. What does this change mean? What are the consequences in terms of cybersecurity? Edge computing in the age of IoT What is edge computing? In a nutshell, it is an open distributed computing architecture. Data is not gathered and processed in one place. It is processed at the edge of the network, hence the term "edge". The goal is to process the data close to where it is produced. According to Cisco or Helder Antunes, it is impossible today to guarantee that the large amount of new data will be sent and processed in a fast or stable way to data centers. However, in certain industries, such as healthcare, telecommunications or finance, data must be processed quickly, even in real time. IT architects have therefore thought of a mesh network of micro Data Centers placed near the connected objects that would process the data as quickly as possible. [...]

Risk Management: Cybersecurity must be at the heart of the global strategy

According to AMRAE (association du management des risques et assurances de l'entreprise), cybersecurity-related risks moved up from 7th place to the top 3 of risk managers' main concerns in 2017. This is hardly surprising: in recent years, the production, use and storage of data have become strategic topics for companies. With the digital transformation of companies, the issue of data security now affects all business lines, further multiplying the associated risks. In addition, regulatory pressure is forcing organizations to structure data protection, as was the case in May 2018 with the implementation of the RGPD. Also read: our article on the RGPD and sensitive data. Another growing phenomenon: cyberattacks, which are becoming increasingly frequent and taking on new forms, are using new vectors, to hack, destroy or kidnap data. With phenomenal speed of propagation, as we saw in 2017. Remember "WannaCry": this attack alone claimed 200,000 victims in 2 days, including the British healthcare system, Telefonica in Spain and Renault in [...]
