关于客户
La Poste Group is a French multinational postal service and courier company. With its 17,000 retail outlets in France, the group is now present in 63 countries, across 5 continents. This local presence is ensured daily by the 160 different professions exercised by the group’s 238,000 employees. As it looks to evolve and transform, le groupe La Poste has opted for a multi-activity business model with mail, banking, parcels, a network of retail outlets, digital tools, and more. All are guided by a single objective: to make le groupe La Poste the leading provider of local services for everyone, everywhere, every day. Each year, the group distributes more than 17 billion items (letters, printed advertising, parcels) around the world. In 2022, it achieved a turnover of 35.4 billion euros, of which 44% abroad.
挑战
i-TEAM, one of the Group’s IT departments, wanted to offer a single solution to all of the Group’s entities as a repository for IP addresses and domain names. It was also to be backed up by internal and external IP address distribution and name resolution services. The idea was also to simplify the global management of the DDI (DNS, DHCP and IPAM), to reduce costs and to improve security and compliance, thus contributing to a better governance of its information system. Previously a user of Infoblox, i-TEAM found this solution too rigid and not user friendly enough for the delegated users, who found it difficult to get to grips with the tool and were making configuration errors. I-TEAM also wanted to easily adapt its new solution to its specific needs to meet some of its requirements. Amongst these, the IT service centre wanted to reinforce the solution’s intrinsic security (partitioning), and to be able to simply deploy personalised management policies for the different entities. One of the challenges faced by this IT department was to adopt a centralised and uniform DDI solution that would allow each of the group’s departments and subsidiaries to manage its DNS zones and addressing plans independently. Although i-TEAM was already responsible for managing part of the group’s DDI infrastructure, several subsidiaries were still using their own solutions. This situation brought about heterogeneity both in terms of general governance and in terms of compliance and security. Each entity also bore the costs of its own solution, both in terms of licences and resources.
解决方案
i-TEAM commenced the roll-out of the EfficientIP solution within its own infrastructure. Leveraging the flexibility of SOLIDserver, the IT service centre was able to fine-tune the solution to its needs, including the creation of delegated administrator spaces to meet its cyber charter. Several control systems were also added around EfficientIP offering to ensure that the IPAM solution is fully partitioned and cannot be accessed via any unauthorized desktop. i-TEAM was also able to standardise the roll out of DDI resources by applying its naming rules and conventions. For example, for post offices, the IT service centre has implemented identification codes in the EfficientIP solution that automate the setting and roll out of DDI rules that must be applied to new addresses assigned to them. Once the first version of the solution had been implemented, i-TEAM was able to gradually integrate the various subsidiaries and structures of the La Poste Group into the new single IPAM architecture, notably La Banque Postale, the mail section and the entire digital section. Currently almost 100% of the external addressing plan and addresses of the La Poste Group are managed within a single EfficientIP solution, i.e. almost half a million IP addresses with an average of 1000 DHCP requests per second. i-TEAM has taken the decision to segment the different zones for each entity, ensuring that it is not possible to switch from one to another. In all, 28 SOLIDservers manage and provide DNS and DHCP services to 156,175 IPv4 networks for over 10,000 DNS zones.

Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
Case Study
Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.
Case Study
Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
