This eventful and innovative year of 2024 is coming to an
end. Let us not forget the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, acclaimed both for the
athletes’ performances and for the quality of organization and hospitality. A
big round of applause goes especially to those responsible for protection and
cybersecurity !
First of all, let us welcome our members of the year: CONIIA (Togo), SKILIT, and TREVYS ADVISORY in College 1, BNP PARIBAS and SAFRAN in College 2, and DMB – Digital Marketing & Business in College 3. Also, our latest additions to College1: IRON MOUNTAIN and SOCIÉTÉ GÉNÉRALE D’ARCHIVES. We wish them a warm welcome to our community!
SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
Dinner-conferences
- In May, Michel GARCIA, founder of EVERIAL, shared his expertise and inspiring journey with us.
- In November, Laurent PETITGIRARD, permanent secretary of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, conductor, and composer, immersed us in his rich and captivating artistic world.
These meetings were convivial and warm moments, always greatly appreciated by our community.
9th Digital Transition Day (JTN) on October 17
A resounding success. This year’s theme, “Sovereignty in the Digital Age” sparked great interest. Conferences and round tables led by prestigious speakers captivated participants, once again confirming the importance of this event for our community. Feel free to revisitthem.
eFutura, a key player in the evolution of standards and support for its members
eiDAS v2
We continue to actively participate in the development of standards at the national, European, and international levels. In particular, we are working on the finalization of the new European trust service for legally valid electronic archiving, eiDAS v2.
E-Invoicing
An explanatory booklet
is being prepared to clarify the many aspects of the French reform: Who is
affected? What are the timelines and obligations? How to manage the issuance,
reception, and archiving of invoices in this new framework? What is the
schedule? …
This booklet, written by our Working Group, will bring together the expertise of publishers, hosting providers, consultants, and accountants.
Cybersecurity
We are relaunching our Working
Group dedicated to cybersecurity, in light of the alarming observation that
many business leaders, including those of major companies, are unaware of the
new European regulations such as DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), NIS
2 (Network and Information Security Directive), or REC (Resilience of Critical
Entities). Many are even unable to answer essential questions: Who is affected?
What support exists? What sanctions are provided?
This group will aim to produce a practical booklet, offering a clear vision of the impacts, obligations to be met, and potential consequences of these new directives, to better support our members in achieving compliance.
Generative AI
Training sessions have already been organized to understand the different generative AI tools available on the market. We will continue this initiative with case studies of concrete use cases to better integrate these tools into professional practices.
Our wishes for 2025
The Bureau and the Board of Directors join me in wishing you a wonderful Christmas holiday surrounded by your loved ones, and a New Year 2025 full of success, innovation, and exciting projects.
Thank you for your trust and commitment.
See you soon,
Jean-Pierre La Hausse de Lalouvière
President
