For the third consecutive year, ten or so employees will go for a three-days-immersion in a castle to learn or rediscover the tricks for our lifework! Whether they are consultants, intrapreneurs, designers, data scientists or developers, all our employees will participate at least once in our Academy.

Far from proposing a lecture, the Saegus Academy is organised around 2-hour modules, combining theories and practical workshops around our profession, its tools, methods and models, speaking, leadership, management, but also putting situations in order to acquire the reflexes and thus be able to manage the daily difficulties.

Throughout the stay, associates and managers accompany employees day and night to deepen, guides, share their experiences and answer queries from the participants!

Frédéric Brajon, our managing director, made a joined presentation last Saturday 23th of September with Microsoft and Odoxa to exchange on data protection. After the massive cyberattack that offended the American company Equifax and stolen 143 millions of personal data, questions arise on people’s and companies’ personal data protection strengthening against criminal groups that now have unlimited virtual means.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entry into force on May 2018 will play an important part for companies and citizens, but we need to reinforce measures taken by companies to help them moving from a static audit culture to an ongoing process of weak signals identification using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Personal assistants has never received most media attention. Apple with Siri, Microsoft with Cortana, Google Now or Amazon with Alexa and Samsung with Bixby… the main tech players make massive investment to propose permanently more interactions and skills. A vocal assistant, really personal? The promise couldn’t be more ambitious but is slow to take hold.

Since Siri appeared in 2011, first true personal assistant for the general public, everyone are succeeding with different declinations, but a common target: us and our precious data. The assistant will be personal only on condition to know ourselves deeply and closely. The war was declared! Started with smartphones that follow us on a daily basis, then with smartwatches, inside our cars (Carplay, Android auto…) and now entering our homes (Amazon Echo, Google Home and HomePod).

The recent partnership between Amazon and Microsoft underlines this challenge. Failure to comply on smartphones market, they make an arrangement to go further. Microsoft brings professional world and large companies, while Amazon brings its deep knowledges on mass markets. This could become a future tech giant, as long as they manage to do more than just a mere inter-connection and manage a transparent interoperability for end users.

End users are actually becoming more and more demanding. As for the assistant, they want it to be personal and therefore relevant to their needs. Otherwise, they will wait or worse, refuse to give their precious data. The bet is yet to be won, especially when we look at the penetration rate of smart speakers such as Amazon Echo: 70% of the US market and only 4% of penetration rate in American homes.

Personal assistants are a promise for something else. A real conversation, a sharp anticipation of our needs, an improvement of our daily life. Would touch screens be in the process of being overshadowed? Same for text? Voice command is without a doubt the most natural way to interact, which would mean an upcovoice first era slowly starting today. What about tomorrow? It’s a little too early to be sure, but personal assistants are one of artificial intelligence’s usage which increased so much it put all the theories on innovation to shame. Personal assistants are definitely going to have a major impact on all of us, whether at home or in the office, and we should keep an eye on it, for sure.

Our Workplace and Factory teams joined their forces to create automatically conversations from Jive to Teams, via an API automation.

Thanks to new REST endpoints (still in beta) of API Graph, our Workplace consultants have been able to design this new service, delivered by our Factory developpers.

In the caption below you will see the result of the migration of a community from a social platform (here Jive) to Microsoft Teams, the new released – and promising – service from Microsoft.

Innovation was the keyword during the TechWeek held from 3rd to 6th of July 2017 at Paris. Imagined and launched by Société Générale at its headquarter, this event was dedicated to innovative services related to banking. 

6 hubs of technological information were introduced to collaborators and also students through conferences, workshops, showrooms and lot of presentation booths. They were invited to discover and test the different technologies available showed on every technological and digital enterprises’ booths.

Saegus is proud to have accompanied Société Générale, true precursor on this initiative, during the Digital Workplace day!

10 Saegusiens were involved for this special occasion where they could run several workshops around the creation of mobile applications using Microsoft PowerApps. They could also provide a lecture around collaborative solutions like Microsoft Teams. All of those presentation raised the level of awareness on digital usages and were well received by the attendees.

This event confirms the companies’ growing concerns to get involved in digital and technological innovation programs that feeds their roadmap of services to be deployed.
