Within its seven global tech practices, Akkodis is nurturing expert communities, including an in-house network of research labs. For example, the Robotic Process Automation lab, within its Data Analytics & AI tech practice, is dedicated to optimizing the quality, speed and cost of a given process – knowledge used to develop and hone global tech expertise.
In addition to the research labs, the company has developed its own proprietary platforms and templates that it uses to test and scale use cases for cross-industry applications. For example, it has developed an AI model that collects and analyses data on vehicle operation, location and health to optimize fleet maintenance and usage. Additional models have been created for use in the energy management and civil service areas. These aspects, combined with its ability to leverage existing templates such as Microsoft Azure and Salesforce, enable Akkodis to package cross-industry use cases that help clients fast-track their projects.
