Equans is launching Equans Digital—a suite of digital solutions designed to enhance its clients’ technical, environmental, and user performance.
As a global leader in multi-technical services, Equans is accelerating its growth and launching a new brand, Equans Digital, to help its clients enhance their performance through their digital transformation. Equans Digital brings together the collective expertise of entities specializing in ICT and digital technologies, comprising 6,000 employees working as a global network to implement these innovative solutions. This promising and rapidly growing market now accounts for one billion euros in revenue for Equans, half of which comes from France.
“For more than 30 years, we have been installing the equipment that serves as the source of data and designing the data and analytics layers to structure that data and drive performance gains for our clients. This new brand reinforces Equans’ ambitions and determination to tackle the challenges of the energy, industrial, and digital transitions,” explains Jérôme Stubler, CEO of Equans.
Key Areas of Expertise
Day by day, digital technology is establishing itself as a key factor in performance: the performance of technical systems (heating, cooling, IT); energy efficiency; the performance of industrial processes; and end-user satisfaction.
The specialists at Equans Digital draw on five core areas of expertise: audiovisual and video, robotics, automation, BIM, telecommunications, and connectivity.
These core areas of expertise are responsible for the production and acquisition of data related to physical infrastructure. Their implementation and integration make it possible to improve the efficiency of solutions and facilities.
An Ambitious Cross-Functional Approach
Equans Digital also operates in cross-functional areas through its three areas of high-level expertise: cybersecurity, interoperability, and application solutions. Cybersecurity is at the heart of the digital world. It is essential to assess threats and system vulnerabilities in real time to better protect systems and ensure their functionality. Data management and interoperability services are becoming increasingly strategic, as they aim to make different data networks compatible and intelligent in order to “break down silos” and create digital synergies that enhance facility performance. This approach is enhanced by artificial intelligence and data science technologies. By mastering all of these areas of expertise, Equans Digital provides its clients with a particular focus on application solutions in collaboration with partner software vendors. This makes it possible to develop customized solutions, such as NAVINEO’s Operations and Passenger Information Support System (SAEIV).
A unique network of experts
The strength of the Equans Digital network lies in the combination of specialized digital centers operating on a national level and a network of local digital entities within approximately 40 AXIMA and INEO local offices.
Digital technology is poised to play a unique and strategic role in bridging the gap between our clients’ technical infrastructure and the challenge of maximizing their performance. Equans Digital’s unique approach allows us to go the extra mile in supporting clients in their pursuit of performance, while remaining at the forefront of expertise through our national centers and close to our clients via our network of branches.
This network of entities, embodied by the Equans Digital brand, will help accelerate awareness of the digital solutions offered by Equans, unite our employees, and accelerate our overall growth momentum.
“Performance in the B2B world stems from the intersection of a specific customer need and the integration of various digital areas of expertise. Through the Equans Digital network, we standardize customization, thereby offering our clients solutions that are both cost-effective and designed to deliver efficiency and quality tailored to their specific needs,” concludes Raphaël Contamin, Director of Equans Digital.
