Open keynote : What if Data reconciled us?

Four years ago, when he joined Open, Stéphane Messika realized that it was necessary to combine the three components of science, expertise and technology in order to analyze, understand and make the most of data. However, these entities have different cultures within the company. So what should the operational model be to make the best use of the data? This ReadyForIT conference will provide some answers with the participation of Natixis and the Engie group.

What is the operational model for exploiting data at Engie and Natixis? Which organization should be adopted? How is the business sector transforming data processing? What infrastructure should be used? What are the methods for evaluating use cases?

Round tables

Making the most of company data: a strategic as well as a technical issue

ater represents a new black gold for companies. It is a new asset to integrate, understand and protect. Beyond the valuation of data, there are essential steps to take into account. Indeed, company management often calls for a return on investment, without necessarily asking the right questions: what data are we talking about, how to collect it, store it, value it, what value it can have and what are the ethical and legal issues?

How to collect and qualify data according to uses and objectives? How do we define the value of data? What is the economic potential of data?

  • Paul-Olivier GIBERT, AFCDP
  • Laurant LAFAYE, DAWEX

2019 : The year of the (DU) ISD?

What is the role and place of the CIO (Chief Information Officer) in the digital transformation of companies today? A few years ago, the director of information systems was considered an outdated position, replaced by the "chief digital officer". The emergence of cloud computing seemed to make it redundant.
But now, companies are realizing that the CIO still has a place in the company, especially with the digital transition based on IT and infrastructure. Indeed, just because the cloud exists doesn't mean that cybersecurity, processes and IT solutions are no longer necessary. That's what this 2019 ReadyForIT roundtable is all about.

Why is it safe to say that the CIO is still "alive"? How can we bring the CIO closer to the digital business? What is the modern role of this position within the company?

  • Didier PAWLAK, PENELOPE GROUP

A Data Lake: Why? How to build one?

Data lakes are increasingly used by companies for agile data storage. However, setting up a data lake is part of an enterprise strategy and must meet clearly identified needs upstream.

The ReadyForIT event is based on the three pillars of data, cloud and cyber. This round table focuses on the data segment, raising the issue of the data lake: why and how to implement this solution? Speakers from INA, Comexposium and Kynapse will share their experience and opinions on the relevance of the "data lake".

AI and ethics: The impossible couple?

Artificial intelligence is gradually invading our personal and professional lives and more and more of us are using solutions based on the various aspects of this technology (machine learning, deep learning, etc.). But if AI holds a lot of promise, the opacity that surrounds the algorithms raises questions and even concerns with its risks of bias, discrimination and exclusion.

The theme of artificial intelligence raises questions, to the point that it is the "buzz word" of the moment. But what is really behind this term? What about the decision-making capacity granted to AI, automation and the place of the human being? This technology also raises issues of discrimination, governance and security, as well as ethical, legal and moral issues. This is the subject of this roundtable.

Under what conditions is this data collected, stored and protected? How can we guarantee their traceability and confidentiality?

The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss the importance of security in the deployment of IoT across all sectors. Speakers will discuss the construction, e-health and automotive sectors in particular.
