We support our customers in implementing data platforms, and API (Application Programming Interface) interoperability services.
This makes it easier for them to appropriate all the data from one or more sites, facilitates monitoring, benchmarking, reporting needs (to their customers, suppliers, or regulatory authorities), and ultimately contributes to greater performance of their facilities.
Artificial Intelligence
The mass of available data continues to grow in companies: IT applications, various and varied data concentrators and containers...Numerous platforms and tools give rise to the daily collection of a significant amount of data, the use of which is often restricted and under-exploited by companies.
If this data is accessible, it is necessary to question its exploitation by algorithmic models. Dashboard data, operating data, imaging data represent a strong potential for efficiency and effectiveness gains for our customers.
Equans Digital, your partner for Artificial Intelligence projects
Whatever the level of maturity, Equans digital supports its customers in the choice of projects and the roadmap for their implementation.
From harvested and available data, our experts build tailor-made, differentiating Artificial Intelligence solutions (mostly using Machine Learning and Computer Vision), in close collaboration with business experts for high value-added use cases.
Our extended value chain and expertise bring a global project management capability for projects including Artificial Intelligence.
At Equans Digital, we are committed to demystifying Artificial Intelligence by making it accessible, operational and by demonstrating its high added value.
API interoperability
Equans Digital has very strong expertise in interoperability (of systems, software, protocols) with the aim of making different systems, software or technologies work together seamlessly and efficiently.
Our teams have also acquired over time the conviction that one of the keys to a project's success lies in our ability to make systems communicate with each other, exchange data and use functionalities, to ultimately promote information sharing and improve collaboration between different applications or platforms whatever their technologies and/or history.
In this area of interoperability, Equans Digital has in particular extensively developed the use of API Management solutions, which refer to a set of practices, software solutions and tools that control and facilitate the use of programming interfaces (APIs) in a given environment. APIs are access points that enable different software or services to communicate with each other, exposing specific functionality and data.
API Management typically includes the dimensions of API Lifecycle Management, API Security, Access Control, Analysis and Monitoring and also sometimes Monetization. According to Equans Digital, the link between API Management and interoperability lies in API Management's central role in facilitating and enhancing interoperability between different systems, applications and services.
How does API Management promote interoperability?
-
Standardization of communications: API Management defines standards and protocols for communication between different parties. By establishing clear rules for the use of APIs, it enables systems to understand how to interact with each other, facilitating interoperability.
-
API Version Management: When an API is updated or modified, API Management enables different versions of the API to be managed in an organized way. This ensures a smooth transition between versions for existing applications and helps maintain interoperability between systems that use different versions of the API.
-
Data format conversion: API Management can include functionality to automatically convert data formats between systems so they can exchange information consistently, even if they use different data structures.
-
Access control and security : By managing API permissions and access, API Management ensures that only authorized systems or applications can access the services offered by the API, contributing to system security and integrity while facilitating controlled interoperability between parties.
-
API documentation and discovery: Good API Management provides clear and comprehensive documentation of available APIs, making it easy for developers of other systems to understand how to use them. Easy access to available APIs facilitates discovery and adoption, encouraging interoperability between different applications.
-
Performance monitoring and management: API Management enables API performance to be monitored in real time. This enables any potential interoperability or performance problems between systems to be detected early and remedied quickly.
By combining these functionalities, Equans Digital offers a comprehensive framework for facilitating and maintaining interoperability between the various stakeholders in its customers' IT ecosystems, thus promoting collaboration and the exchange of data as well as services.
