PARIS and SUNNYVALE,
Calif., June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Google Cloud
and Eiffage, a leading construction and concessions company in
Europe, today announced a
strategic partnership to develop and implement AI. The
collaboration will foster the adoption of AI in order to boost
Eiffage's teams' efficiency and ease of working, through a planned
technology approach and acculturation strategy.
Leveraging this partnership and using Google Cloud's data and AI
solutions, Eiffage will develop and implement an AI strategy that
serves its operations and eases tasks, processes, and
activities.
The partnership includes the development of an internal
technology platform based on a variety of Google Cloud solutions,
such as BigQuery, Apigee, Vertex AI, and Gemini models, and meets
the highest standards of security and confidentiality. Eiffage will
focus on the design and implementation of concrete use cases. And,
importantly, Eiffage's IT platform will also benefit from the
lower-carbon footprint and higher sustainability performance of
Google Cloud's infrastructure, supporting Eiffage's own
sustainability strategy.
The collaboration also includes the creation of data and AI
curriculum within Eiffage University as part of an overall
acculturation program to technological innovation, with the aim of
fostering a better understanding of the technology and its
potential, growing the skills and competences of its employees, and
ultimately enabling them to own and lead on innovation.
"AI is here to help our teams, regardless of their functions,
entities, or geographies. This partnership aims to harness the full
potential of our data, leveraging our integrated information
system, ERPs widely deployed across the group and various
operations to improve efficiency, create value, and drive
sustainable growth, while maintaining the highest security
standards," said Jean-Philippe FAURE, Chief Information Officer at
Eiffage.
"Eiffage's AI strategy is based on a strong data foundation, a
human-first approach to implementation, open technologies, and
built-in security. We are thrilled to support this undertaking and
help Eiffage move from AI experimentation to AI construction," said
Isabelle Fraine, Managing Director
France at Google Cloud.
