Wimi has been at the forefront of the battle to raise French media and government attention to the need that civil servants have been experiencing, namely a switch to the remote work. As it turned out in the early days of the crisis, the public service was not ready for the remote work revolution, especially in terms of digital sovereignty and cyber-security. The abrupt changes in the work model required taking urgent and well targeted actions to ensure the continued efficiency of the state.
Wimi & the DINUM (Direction Interministerielle du Numérique) have managed to address the main challenges (data security and the multitude of functionalities integrated in one solution) faced by civil servants and prepare a secure platform enabling instant messaging, videoconferences, file sharing as well as task and project management tools : Plano. Ministry Officials and other state workers can sign up to the platform via the governmental website noumerique.gouve.fr in order to get free access to the solution during the crisis.
Wimi’s initiative also succeeded in raising media discussions on the topics of data sovereignty and the urgent need for a further development of independent, Europe based, solutions that support the economic activity of key players such as governments and public companies.
