Jacques Benhamou, Chairman of JEMS, and Alexis Uzan, VP Partnerships, are interviewed by BFM Business to share our perspective on data. In 4 questions:
According to you, what is the main challenge of data?
Data is at the heart of the industrial revolution we have been experiencing for the past decade. For example, the president of Renault, Luca De Meo, explained that he would be setting up a new department whose data-related services would represent 30% of his turnover over the next three years. Data is disrupting markets and, with the help of Google, JEMS is a key player.
What is the impact of this new Google Cloud region in France for JEMS?
This is excellent news. It meets a real demand from the entire market and particularly from French manufacturers. This resolves legislative issues and therefore allows for the development of the « move to cloud» for many of our clients. It is also an extraordinary opportunity for France to emancipate itself.
What is the potential for this trusted cloud offering?
All sectors of activity are concerned. It is true that industry – and notably the military industry – is much more interested in switching, with the alliance with Thales bringing more security and guarantees, but all business verticals will be considered.
What's your latest news with Google Cloud?
In the space of six months, we have become a Tier One Reseller, Google Premier – which is the most exclusive status in our partner relationship – and also a «Data Analytics» specialist. This will strengthen our delivery and our shared expertise on projects won jointly, both current and future.
