SAP lance SAP Build qui met l’innovation entre les mains des utilisateurs

S’appuyant sur la profondeur et l’étendue unique de SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), SAP Build est une solution low-code qui met l’innovation et la puissance technologique de SAP entre les mains des utilisateurs professionnels, leur donnant un accès direct et sécurisé aux processus end-to-end, aux données et au contexte dont ils ont besoin pour prendre des décisions plus éclairées et stimuler rapidement l’innovation. Cette offre permet aux utilisateurs, avec un minimum d’expertise technique, de créer et d’enrichir des applications d’entreprise, d’automatiser des processus et de concevoir des sites d’entreprise par simple drag and drop[1].

« SAP Build réunit les applications de gestion les plus puissantes du monde sur une plateforme conçue pour révéler rapidement l’expertise business des utilisateurs », a déclaré Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer et membre du Conseil Exécutif de SAP. « Dans un contexte économique instable, SAP Build et l’ensemble des innovations que nous lançons aujourd’hui – de notre nouveau partenariat avec Coursera Inc. aux améliorations apportées à notre portefeuille d’entreprises pour maximiser la productivité et réduire le délai de rentabilité – permettent aux clients de préparer l’avenir de leur entreprise et de tirer le maximum de valeur de leurs investissements technologiques. »

Avec SAP Build, les utilisateurs ont à portée de main toute la puissance de SAP BTP ainsi que les données des applications de gestion de SAP. Les utilisateurs peuvent facilement intégrer des systèmes, surveiller, analyser et automatiser intelligemment les processus, mais aussi créer des applications pour le dernier jalon d’innovation, le tout sans déplacer leurs données dans un système externe. Grâce aux solutions SAP Signavio déjà intégrées, les utilisateurs de SAP Build bénéficient également d’une visibilité approfondie sur l’ensemble de leurs processus, leur permettant de savoir où se concentrer et ainsi avoir le plus d’impact possible lorsqu’ils innovent et automatisent. Plus de 275 000 références de processus provenant de 4 000 clients, ainsi que 1 300 workflows et automatisations spécifiques à des cas d’utilisation, permettent aux utilisateurs d’exploiter instantanément l’ensemble de l’expertise métier intégrée à la technologie SAP. SAP Build fonctionne également avec les systèmes non-SAP. Enfin le nouveau programme SAP Builders aide les utilisateurs à se lancer rapidement et à entrer en contact avec leurs pairs par le biais de sessions de formations et de forums de partage des meilleures pratiques.

« La demande de solutions numériques actuelles étant supérieure à la capacité des Développeurs à les fournir, IDC prévoit que les professionnels s’impliqueront de plus en plus dans des initiatives visant à créer des solutions digitales pour résoudre les problèmes urgents des entreprises », a déclaré Arnal Dayaratna, Research Vice President, Software Development, IDC. « A l’échelle mondiale, IDC prévoit l’implication de plus de 100 millions de professionnels dans la production de solutions digitales au cours des dix prochaines années. Les solutions de développement low-code de SAP Build permettent aux utilisateurs de tirer parti de leur expertise dans leur domaine pour créer rapidement des solutions à grande échelle et y apporter des modifications. »

« Je suis heureux d’annoncer que SAP lance aujourd’hui un certificat professionnel de premier niveau sur Coursera. Un certificat destiné aux apprenants de tous niveaux, sans qu’aucun diplôme universitaire ou une expérience du secteur ne soit requis », a déclaré Jeff Maggioncalda, PDG de Coursera Inc. « Ce certificat préparera les candidats à des fonctions premières, et ce, dans certains des domaines les plus demandés.

Artificial intelligence is the latest buzzword in the tech world. It’s everywhere and has been for a while, but AI-powered writing software is a relatively new concept.

AI Writing Software uses artificial intelligence to write articles, blog posts, and other content in your voice. The goal is to provide a tool that will save you time and energy so you can focus on different aspects of your business or life.

To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of 20 AI writing software you can use to create content for your website, blog, or social media accounts.

1. Copy.ai 

Copy.ai uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to produce high-quality content for your business, ebooks, blog posts, articles, product descriptions, social media content, and more. It can also be used to rewrite existing content so that you can use it on your website, blog, or social media pages.

Since it uses artificial intelligence to mimic human writing patterns and styles, the copy will be more natural and easier to read than the typical machine-generated text we’re used to seeing.

Copy.ai differs from traditional content creation tools because it doesn’t just offer suggestions on improving your current content; it generates new text based on what it thinks would be most relevant for the topic or audience.

Key Features: 

  • Pre-built Templates – Copy.ai has a ton of pre-built templates for different kinds of content. For example, you can see below that it has options for blogs, social media content, video, case studies, and more:

  • Different tones and variations – Get access to tones like friendly, persuasive, professional, luxury, witty, bold, and more to align the content with your writing style. It also creates multiple variations based on your input – you can pick the one you like or make more.

    To illustrate this, here’s a screenshot of the results we got while trying to write the introduction for this article using Copy AI. 

  • Writing and Brainstorming tools – You also get tons of writing tools, brainstorming tools, and personal tools. Writing tools include essay intro, cliffhanger generator, adjective accelerator, passive to active voice, verb booster, and the like. Brainstorming tools have a name generator, startup ideas, viral ideas, and more – while Personal tools include birthday cards, clubhouse bios, cover letters, love letters, and shower thoughts.

    You can save your content and then return to it later if you wish. Plus, the software’s user interface is easy to navigate, and the program is simple. 

Luciano Viterale, Co-founder of Ticker Nerd, also shares his experience with Copy.ai

“I’ve been experimenting with AI copywriting tools since GPT-3 was released. I have explored many of the popular tools. However, my favorite tool by far is Copy AI. They have an outstanding blogging outline feature; the UX is clean and easy to navigate, and the pricing is reasonable.

Copy AI also generated the name of my startup, “Ticker Nerd,” which is an investing newsletter that was recently acquired.”

That said, Viterale suggests that the blog outlines can be repetitive. He says, “one thing I don’t particularly like is that blog outlines include the same point repeatedly but articulated slightly differently, essentially adding no value.” 

Pros:

  • It has an extensive library of templates available for different requirements. 
  • It supports over 25 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, and more. 

Cons:

All you have to do is enter the title, your intended audience, tone of voice, and language options, along with the main point of your copy, and voila – Jasper can churn out a high-quality piece of content for you within seconds.

Frequently asked questions about AI writing software.

1. What is AI Writing Software?

AI writing software is an artificial intelligence program used to write text. It can generate content for websites, blogs, and other fields. The content created by AI writers is often indistinguishable from human-created content. Still, sometimes it has a slightly robotic feel or may include words or phrases that seem out of place in the context of the writing.

2. How does AI Writing Software work?

The software uses an algorithm to mimic the creative process of human writers. It first creates a base text that modifies by adding words and phrases specific to your content. This ensures that you get high-quality original content every time you use it.

3. Who can use AI Writing Software?

Anyone who needs to create texts for their business or website can benefit from using this software. It’s also an excellent option for freelance writers and content marketers facing writer’s block. As it’s easy and fast, even beginners can start using it immediately and see great results within minutes!

4. Can I use AI writers for everything I write?

No — AI writers are best suited for shorter pieces like headlines or product descriptions because they don’t have much time to learn about your company’s brand voice or personality. 

While there are tools to churn out long-form content, you still need the human touch for longer and more research-intensive pieces like blog posts or sales copy. AI algorithms still can’t pick up on nuances like a human can.

5. What are some of the benefits of using AI Writing Software?

There are many benefits to using AI writing software. The most obvious benefit is that you no longer need to spend time creating content yourself. The software will do it for you! 

Another benefit is that AI writing software allows you to create content in any niche or topic you desire. You can even target multiple niches at once! This makes it possible to scale your business quickly and easily by leveraging the power of automation while still keeping your hands on the work itself.

6. How much does it cost?

The pricing depends on the type of service you want to use. Some companies offer free trials or even freemium versions with limited credits so that you can test their services before making a purchase decision. Some companies offer lifetime discounts for repeat customers, so keep an eye out for those offers when making your choice!

7. What’s the difference between AI-powered and human-written content?

While humans are still required for high-quality content creation, AI makes scaling up your content marketing efforts easier. By automating much of the writing process – from keyword research to formatting – AI can help you create more content at a lower cost per article. In addition, this frees your team members to focus on other tasks that require their expertise (like outreach) or simply spend more time enjoying their lives!

8. What is the best AI Writer?

The best AI writer depends on what you want it to do and how much you want to spend. If you’re going to write books or articles, many different programs can help you with this task. Our top pick for long-form would be Jasper

On the other hand, if you only need help with short-form content such as blog posts or press releases, there may not be any need for an AI writer because these documents don’t require as much work or effort from the user. In that case, you might want to use tools like Copy.ai, Rytr, and more. 

9. Can I use AI Writing Software to replace my human writers?

No, AI writing software isn’t meant to replace human writers. It’s designed to work alongside them, helping them create more engaging and relevant content for their audiences. You’ll still need human writers who can add style and personality to your content.

Over to You! 

Do you find writing to be an exhausting activity? If yes, you would want to try one of the AI Writing Software tools we suggested above. These are some of the best AI writing tools specially developed to boost creativity, motivation, and productivity.

There’s room for experimentation with AI-generated content as long as you can recognize where specific tools are lacking and how to incorporate that into your work. Ultimately, the future of AI writing assistant software will mean ever-more versatile tools for writers, so don’t be shy about testing the waters.

Over the last decade of cloud migration, the threat model against Java applications and the way that we need to defend them has shifted. OpenJDK has made one positive change in this area already by deprecating the old SecurityManager, a relic that protected a bygone era of AOL CDs and paper maps. The next positive change in security is to strengthen the supply chain of software components, know what’s running and what’s vulnerable, and communicate this information with non-technical experts whose data is at risk.

Part of this threat model is driven by vulnerable libraries like last year’s Log4j. Although Log4j is a great logging library and was active on patching, many teams scrambled to identify where they needed to apply those patches. For individual Java developers or teams that knew their code and could deploy, the patch was simple — you updated a library and that was it. The reality though is that software moves fast and far, often leaving the locus of control of these technical experts to stakeholders that don’t have the expertise to manage a problem at this level. In a scramble, teams that did not know Java-specifics looked everywhere including .NET software and Python forums. The government of Quebec shut services down until they knew where Log4j wasn’t. This scrambling was not effective and does not protect our data.

L’initiative SAP, qui regroupe des jeunes diplômés et des professionnels expérimentés formés et certifiés, pour répondre aux besoins informatiques des partenaires de la région EMEA Nord, a vu ses premières cohortes diplômées le 18 octobre.

 

Paris, le 21 octobre 2022 –  SAP SE (NYSE : SAP) annonce aujourd’hui que les deux premières cohortes de son initiative Partner Talent ont été diplômées le 18 octobre. Conçue pour attirer, former et certifier les nouveaux consultants SAP avant de les mettre à disposition des partenaires pour une embauche, l’initiative a bénéficié de la participation de partenaires SAP tels que Deloitte, CGI, Accenture et KPMG.

 

Selon le rapport 2021 « IT Skills and Salary Report » de Skillsoft, 76 % des décideurs IT constatent des lacunes importantes dans les compétences de leurs équipes. (C’est une augmentation de 145 % par rapport au cinq dernières années.) La nature, toujours changeante, de la technologie implique que combler le manque de compétences sera toujours un défi. Mais il y a de bonnes nouvelles ; Skillsoft a également indiqué que 92 % des personnes interrogées avaient obtenu au moins une certification, et 80 % d’entre elles ont déclaré que les avantages d’être certifié comprenaient des performances plus rapides et de meilleurs résultats.

 

Les partenaires jouent un rôle essentiel dans la création de valeur pour nos clients“, a déclaré Rohit Nagarajan, Président de SAP pour la région EMEA Nord. “Nous avons travaillé en étroite collaboration avec nos partenaires pour comprendre leurs besoins et contribuer ainsi à la réussite de nos clients communs. L’initiative Partner Talent vise à développer une capacité suffisante de compétences SAP à forte valeur ajoutée sur le marché, formées et accréditées directement par SAP, et dont nos partenaires peuvent bénéficier. Si vous êtes un partenaire à la recherche de consultants formés et certifiés, nous avons donc quelques personnes formidables que nous aimerions vous faire rencontrer.

 

Les futures cohortes se concentreront sur une série de domaines, notamment SAP® SuccessFactors® et SAP S/4HANA®.

 

La remise des diplômes, retransmise en direct, a donné lieu à des témoignages de certains consultants fraîchement certifiés, ainsi qu’à un débat sur les opportunités offertes aux nouveaux consultants et partenaires.

 

En tant qu’entreprise en pleine croissance, Delaware est constamment à la recherche de nouveaux talents“, a déclaré Kaity Cloke, partenaire principal chargé du recrutement chez Delaware. “L’initiative Partner Talent a attiré des candidats de haut calibre avec une gamme d’expertise. Cela nous permet d’adopter une approche rapide pour recruter des talents qualifiés, à un coût nettement inférieur à celui d’un recrutement en interne.”

 

Parce que les partenaires jouent un rôle majeur dans la réussite de SAP, s’assurer qu’ils disposent des employés qualifiés dont ils ont besoin pour servir et satisfaire les clients, est bénéfique pour SAP, le partenaire et le client.

 

Un grand départ et un programme complet

Lancée en juin 2022, l’initiative SAP Partner Talent a initialement reçu 1 500 candidatures. Les deux premières cohortes formeront 40 consultants. D’autres cohortes sont en cours d’exécution et d’autres encore sont prévues pour le reste de l’année 2022 et les premier et deuxième trimestres 2023.

A design portfolio is an excellent way to demonstrate your skills as a freelancer. As a web designer, you compete with millions of other web designers. Therefore, you must have a strong portfolio to land a high-paying web designing job in such a competitive space. A strong portfolio sets you apart from others. Having no clients, however, can make it challenging to get your portfolio noticed and build up any momentum.

People typically build portfolios from projects they do for clients. Hence, it seems unlikely for a new web designer without clients to have a strong portfolio. However, it’s attainable. You can build a design portfolio with no clients, and you’ll find out how in this post.

What Makes A Good Design Portfolio?

A good portfolio should display your best work, as most clients want to see your best. However, your best work may not be client work. In addition, what’s more, important than displaying your best work is showing your versatility.

Being a versatile web designer will land you more jobs than being an expert in just one type of web design. Notably, you don’t need to have many clients to be versatile in web design. Instead, you become versatile by taking on different projects.

A good design portfolio should include professional recommendations. Testimonials from previous clients are valuable here, but anyone can recommend you. It could be a web designer friend, collaborator, or even your tutor.

Furthermore, a good portfolio should feature non-client work; even if you have thousands of past clients, featuring personal projects is still ideal. It shows your growth as a web designer isn’t limited to what clients ask you to do.

Many other factors constitute a good portfolio, but these points are the most important regarding showing your skill. You can build a portfolio that includes them even if you have no clients.

How To Build A Design Portfolio With Zero Clients

You can try all or some of these methods to build a design portfolio if you have no clients.

1. Take On Design Challenges

A simple way to build a strong web design portfolio is by competing in challenges. It’s helpful whether you have clients or not.

Winning a design challenge is like finishing at the top of the class. It demonstrates that you’re the best web designer in the room and the type of web designer clients want to hire. Generally, taking on design challenges will help sharpen your skills.

You can partake in competitions arranged by renowned web design communities. You can find such competitions on websites like 99designs and Design Crowd. More often than not, winning a web design challenge will land you a job.

2. Carry Out Personal Projects

Carrying out personal projects is similar to competing in challenges. However, in this case, you’re challenging yourself.

Have you ever had a unique idea for a website? Don’t wait until a client asks you to build such a website. Instead, you can begin the project on your own. Then, if you succeed, you can proudly display the project in your portfolio.

When you get clients, you wouldn’t need to convince them that you can handle such tasks; the personal project is a testament to it.

You can carry out as many personal projects as you envisage, no matter how simple or complex. Furthermore, you don’t always have to complete them. Even failed personal projects can be part of your portfolio.

3. Clone Websites

When most clients contact you, they’ll want you to create a website similar to some existing website. You can give yourself a head start by cloning some popular websites and featuring the projects in a portfolio.

Your ability to build a replica of a professional website from scratch shows expertise. In addition, you most likely won’t get a 100% match with the original version. Your version may have improvements that subsequent clients would appreciate.

Furthermore, some website designers specialize in cloning. Suppose you plan to provide such services to clients. In that case, displaying your previously cloned website projects is all you need to create a strong portfolio.

4. Create Websites for Family and Friends

Your family and friends are potential clients. Hence, you can offer to build websites for them, even if it is for free. Afterward, you should include the work in your portfolio.

If your friend or relative has an offline business, for example, you could offer to build a website to give them an online presence.

Even if they eventually don’t use the website, you can include it as a demo project in your portfolio.

5. Get Inspiration From Others

You’re not the only web designer with no clients who wants to build a strong portfolio. Therefore, you can draw inspiration from others.

Dribbble, the social networking platform for designers, is among the best options you have. Dribbble allows you to find thousands of new and veteran web designers with varying portfolios.

You can scan the portfolios, examine the content, and try to replicate what you can in yours. Furthermore, you can even build a portfolio directly on Dribbble.

Bottom Line

Not having clients shouldn’t discourage you as a new web designer. You can still build a strong design portfolio with the methods discussed in this article.

After creating your portfolio, you can then use it to secure jobs. Subsequently, you can update the portfolio with your best client work.

SAP NEWSBYTE – 2 septembre 2022SAP SE (NYSE : SAP) a annoncé aujourd’hui le lancement d’un nouveau système de reconnaissance des partenaires utilisant leurs compétences ainsi que les résultats des clients comme principales mesures de la performance. Competency Framework du programme SAP® PartnerEdge® met en valeur l’expérience et les compétences des partenaires afin d’améliorer la satisfaction des fournisseurs, des partenaires et des clients.

Les partenaires SAP jouent un rôle déterminant dans la réussite de la transformation numérique de nos clients”, a déclaré Karl Fahrbach, Chief Partner Officer, SAP SE. “C’est pourquoi nous voulons faciliter au maximum l’identification des partenaires les mieux adaptés aux besoins des clients. De plus, cela permettra à SAP de récompenser et de reconnaître les investissements des partenaires dans des pratiques de livraison de haute qualité, favorisant l’adoption et la réussite des clients.”

Ce cadre, qui constitue une évolution du programme SAP® PartnerEdge®, aidera les partenaires à différencier et à mettre en valeur leurs compétences et expérience – en fonction de leur connaissance des solutions, des consultants et de leur succès auprès des clients – afin de générer de la visibilité et mettre en valeur ce qu’ils font le mieux.

Plus précisément, le lancement du nouveau cadre de compétences permettra :

  • de reconnaître les partenaires pour la maturité de leurs pratiques et la priorité qu’ils accordent à la valeur des clients sur le long terme, en fonction de leur expertise et spécialisation dans les domaines de solutions et les zones géographiques.
  • d’aider les partenaires à rester en avance sur les besoins des clients grâce à un processus de désignation automatisé qui leur permet d’identifier les désignations atteintes à risque en fonction de leurs réalisations et de leurs performances quotidiennes, qui seront visibles dans le portail SAP for Me, que les partenaires utilisent pour gérer leurs relations avec les clients et SAP.
  • les nouveaux logos de marque des partenaires SAP sont intégrés à l’outil SAP Partner Finder qui affiche toutes les compétences des partenaires afin que les clients puissent les rechercher et les faire correspondre à leurs objectifs de transformation.

 

Le cadre de compétences de SAP® PartnerEdge® permet aux partenaires de mettre en avant leur expertise et aide les clients à identifier les partenaires ayant les compétences adéquates pour répondre à leurs besoins commerciaux“, a déclaré Paul Edwards, directeur, Software Channels & Ecosystems, IDC, un cabinet d’analystes industriels. “En lançant ce nouveau modèle, SAP donne la priorité aux partenaires et au travail qu’ils accomplissent pour favoriser la réussite des clients.”

Dans ce cadre, les partenaires seront classés selon deux aspects : la compétence et la spécialisation.

Pour commencer, il y aura sept compétences qui s’aligneront sur la solution ou les secteurs d’activité, comme la gestion du capital humain, qui auront trois niveaux progressifs : essentiel, avancé et expert. Au sein de chaque compétence, les partenaires peuvent avoir des spécialisations au niveau du produit ou du processus, comme la gestion des talents. La performance des partenaires dans chaque compétence sera mesurée et atteinte dans trois domaines, y compris les connaissances d’expert, la réussite du client et la compétence.

Ce changement assurera les bases de meilleurs résultats pour les partenaires et les clients qui seront assurés que le partenaire choisi possède à la fois les connaissances nécessaires et une expertise éprouvée pour fournir la solution spécifique dont ils ont besoin.

Découvrez ce que nos partenaires ont à dire ici.

Le Mayennais Diricks souhaite booster son activité services. Mais il lui faut pour cela s’équiper d’un outil de gestion des interventions. Pourvu d’un ERP SAP, l’industriel a opté pour la solution SAP Field Service Management.

Dirickx est le premier fabricant français de clôtures, portails et contrôles d’accès, à destination des particuliers comme des professionnels. Tissé, soudé, rigide, barreaudé ou sur mesure, Dirickx peaufine son savoir-faire depuis 100 ans déjà. La société emploie plus de 300 salariés et réalise 50% de son chiffre d’affaires au travers de la grande distribution : BigMat, Castorama, Leroy Merlin, Point.P…

En 2017, la société est reprise par des investisseurs belges, avant de devenir la filiale d’un nouveau groupe, PICOT, toujours implanté à Congrier, en Mayenne. En plus de son activité industrielle, le groupe assure des tâches d’installation et de maintenance, au travers de Dirickx Espace Clôture et de Dirickx Services.

Dirickx Services est une entité en pleine croissance. Fin 2021, elle faisait déjà travailler une dizaine de techniciens, mais avec un processus de gestion des interventions encore très basique. « Les fiches d’intervention étaient transmises sous forme papier à nos bureaux, qui se chargeaient de facturer le client, ce qui pouvait faire prendre jusqu’à une dizaine de jours, témoigne Laurent Dargelosse, Manager de Dirickx Services. Pour développer cette activité, il était impératif que nous options pour un outil capable d’accélérer la remontée et le traitement des informations de terrain. »

Un projet couronné de succès

Comme toutes les autres sociétés du groupe, Dirickx Services réalisait déjà sa comptabilité sur un ERP SAP. Il était donc logique d’y intégrer la facturation client, puis d’y rattacher un outil de gestion des interventions. La solution SAP Field Service Management (SAP FSM) est apparue assez rapidement comme un bon candidat pour gérer les opérations de maintenance réalisées sur le terrain.

« SAP FSM répondait à tous nos besoins, confirme Benjamin Subile, Responsable informatique chez Dirickx : gestion du planning des techniciens, enregistrement des temps, remplissage et signature de la fiche d’intervention, remontée de photos et notes, automatisation de la facturation dans l’ERP. Le tout à l’aide de tablettes qui accompagnent les techniciens sur le terrain. »

Dirickx cherchait un intégrateur SAP FSM capable de travailler en français. Une relation tripartite s’est mise en place, avec d’un côté Codilog, se chargeant des licences et de l’interaction avec SAP, et de l’autre l’entreprise Canguru, pour son expertise sur la solution SAP FSM.

Le projet a démarré en février 2021, avec une mise en production début décembre 2021. Le temps nécessaire pour permettre aux équipes de réaliser toutes les tâches requises : achever la bascule de Dirickx Services vers l’ERP SAP, activer le module de gestion des ventes, mettre en place SAP FSM, puis former les utilisateurs et les équiper en tablettes.

« L’un des points sensibles était la connexion de SAP FSM, qui est une solution cloud, à notre ERP SAP ECC, qui est déployé on premise, signale Benjamin Subile. Nous avons pour cela utilisé le connecteur standard proposé par SAP, qui permet aux deux solutions de communiquer de façon fluide. Cette intégration facilitée est un des avantages d’avoir opté pour une solution qui fait partie de l’écosystème SAP. »

Un outil rapidement adopté par les techniciens

Après une courte phase d’adaptation, les techniciens se sont approprié la solution. « S’ils ont pu être un peu sceptiques au départ, dès les premières utilisations, ils ont adopté l’outil, explique Laurent Dargelosse. Il leur permet de travailler plus efficacement et d’avoir une vision plus claire sur leur planning et leur stock. SAP FSM a apporté beaucoup d’améliorations pour les intervenants travaillant sur le terrain. »

Et il était temps, car l’entité Dirickx Services s’est fortement développée depuis début 2021, en passant de 13 à 18 techniciens, assurant chacun 2,5 à 3 interventions par jour. « Une telle charge n’aurait pas pu être gérée efficacement avec un processus papier », confirme le manager de Dirickx Services.

Cette croissance devrait se poursuivre, avec une vingtaine de techniciens d’ici la fin de l’année et un redécoupage du territoire français en trois régions, contre deux actuellement. Le groupe étant également très présent en Belgique, il envisage de développer l’activité Dirickx Services au Benelux, ce qui devrait – là encore – se traduire par de nouvelles embauches de techniciens de maintenance… lesquels seront équipés de tablettes connectées à SAP FSM.
