Assystem and Aveva Seal Strategic Partnership on Critical Infrastructure
Assystem and Aveva announced on Tuesday the signing of a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the digital transformation of critical infrastructure in Europe, with a particular focus on France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. This strengthening of collaboration comes in a context of reindustrialization and energy transition.
An Alliance Focused on Critical Infrastructure
The partnership unites Assystem, an international engineering group specialized in critical infrastructure, and Aveva, a global leader in industrial software. The agreement is set against a backdrop where stakeholders in critical sectors (energy, nuclear, defense, and essential infrastructure) must modernize their systems while ensuring the highest levels of safety, performance, and resilience.
This collaboration combines Assystem's expertise in engineering, OT integration, and complex project management with Aveva's software solutions, which ensure digital continuity throughout the entire lifecycle of industrial assets. Both partners highlight their joint ability to rapidly deploy high-value solutions at sensitive industrial sites.
A Strengthened Link Established Over Several Years
The collaboration between Assystem and Aveva is not new. It first developed through projects carried out with Schneider Electric, then was structured by the signing of a memorandum of understanding three years ago. This strategic partnership represents a further step, based on an ambitious roadmap.
According to Laurent Hackenberger, Vice President of Digital Business Development at Assystem, the integration of high-performance digital platforms, combining traditional design tools with capabilities offered by artificial intelligence, has become a crucial lever for accelerating the development of industrial assets and mastering the entire value chain.
An Integrated Offering for Industrialists
The agreement aims to provide the market with a unique combination of technologies and expertise that enables industrialists to design, develop, and operate their most strategic projects more efficiently. Sebastien Ory, Vice President EMEA Channel Partner at Aveva, emphasizes that having reliable, secure, and immediately operational digital solutions is essential for modernizing critical infrastructure.
