With a strategic five-year plan, Bureau Veritas (BV) set out on its digital transformation project in 2015. Core to that transformation was migration of the vast bulk of its applications and infrastructure to the AWS cloud. Along the way, it faced challenges in migration, day-to-day management, costs and security. We talk to BV’s IT director, Jean-Marc Devos Plancq, about the transition.
Bureau Veritas – or BV to those who know it well – is one of the oldest companies still active anywhere. Formed in 1828 in Belgium, but now headquartered in France, the testing, inspection and certification firm employs 75,000 people in 1,500 offices in 150 countries.
