Atos and HEC Paris Digital Centre join forces to train Industry 4.0 leaders
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, 8 February 2017 - Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, is
bringing its expertise to the fields of Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence
by joining the Digital Centre at HEC Paris. As the latest member of the HEC
Paris Foundation, Atos is involved in educational developments at the Digital
Centre.
From February 2017, the teams at Atos will be sharing their expertise and skills
with the students at HEC Paris who are studying digital business (Digital Major
and the Digital Certificate). Atos will also run a series of digital workshops
to dedicate time to students looking at issues connected to digital
transformation. These events help promote an exchange of experience and identify
best practice in a neutral and open academic environment.
Focusing on the digitalisation of the supply chain and 3D printing, Industry
4.0 is upending the traditional separation between front office and back
office in a connected world. Thanks to a convergence between technologies and
operations, Industry 4.0 is opening up the way to intelligent product and
maintenance lifecycle management processes. This digital revolution, which
combines the Internet of Things (50 billion things connected by 2020) and Big
Data, will uncover a whole range of possibilities by connecting B2C and B2B
universes, marking a real disruption both in the world of business and in
society in general. With the major issue of digital sovereignty still being
debated, Industry 4.0 is one of the fields of excellence at Atos, illustrated by
its strategic partnership in Research and Development with world industrial
leader Siemens, symbolising the most important Franco-German alliance since
Airbus.
In terms of training, Industry 4.0 requires both a multi-disciplinary and a
technological approach; Atos is supporting HEC Paris' ambition to become an
international standard in teaching and training managers who are renowned for
their vision and capacity to deliver in the digital world, and particularly in
the field of Industry 4.0.
Peter Todd, Dean of HEC Paris said: "Industry is experiencing a digital
revolution that is rewriting business models. Using Atos' expertise, a company
renowned as a world leader in Industry 4.0, HEC Paris' Digital Centre will
develop courses and qualifications suited to managers in this field."
Jean-Marie Simon, Head of Atos France, continues: "We are still at the dawn of
the digital revolution, which is radically transforming all sectors. It is vital
to train the leaders of tomorrow, who will be able to anticipate the changes to
come and exploit them, for the benefit of companies, employees, customers, and
society as a whole. In October last year, Atos announced a project to create a
Data Science course in France at the heart of the Paris-Saclay campus focusing
on training, research and supporting the development of start-ups. Within this
framework, the partnership with HEC Paris is a strategic one for Atos and a
further example of the importance of collaboration between academia and the
world of business on the subjects of the future."
