Urban and transportation infrastructure form a fixed-capacity network that enables interconnections and exchanges. Performance and sustainability they offer depend first on a strong match between supply and demand, then on how operations and maintenance are anticipated over time.
Infrastructure and digital technology are inseparable.
Digital technology is a key underlying asset in infrastructure performance, helping forecast demand, anticipate maintenance or monitor network operations. Reversely, optimal use of infrastructure helps accelerate transitions our clients embark on, starting with digital transformation.
For telecom operators, digital technology provides the agility required to ever-evolving challenges such as:
- innovation, products, and processes,
- operational performance and customer relations,
- environmental challenges (reducing network footprint while securing resilience).
Industry and mobility combined make transitions possible.
Infrastructure, by definition, is foundational. It enables travel, comfort, safety and security. It fuels the services we consume and a key issue in our transitions:
Taking into account asset lifecycle
Infrastructure development, maintenance, repair, and management must be assessed holistically, over an entire asset’s lifecycle. It must also incorporate sustainability and durability objectives.
Accelerating transitions through digital technology
Digital technology accelerates transitions in infrastructure and helps deliver enriched value propositions or services.
Supporting change
Ecosystems are living forms: skills and behaviors evolve, requiring in-depth reflection on operational and organizational models.
