Philippe TROCCAZ was interviewed in the special program produced with the DSIT and EDF’s International offices.

How can an EDF subsidiary benefit from IT solutions that are as efficient and secure as in France, when they are in Johannesburg, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Washington or Yamoussoukro? This was the theme of this special program in which Philippe TROCCAZ, in charge of G2S’ international clients, participated with representatives from DSIT and EDF’s International offices.

Deputy Director of the Middle East Zone* Stéphanie MARCO contacted G2S and DSIT in 2020 after having noticed a strong dissatisfaction of the collaborators with the IT tools. The objective was to provide answers to the specific needs of the subsidiaries located in this region, particularly in terms of ergonomics and anchoring to the EDF IS, but also to conduct an audit to identify areas of weakness in terms of IT security and remedy them.

Philippe Troccaz assists EDF’s IT department in analyzing the problems reported by the International offices and following up on remedial actions. He participates also in a number of high-stakes issues for international subsidiaries..

“There are a certain number of specificities to take into account,” explains Philippe. For example, the use of local equipment such as workstations that are not EDF workstations or English as working language. To carry out these actions, it is often necessary to provide support that is a little more advanced than traditional support.

And this partnership between DSIT and G2S is all about: enabling the Group’s collaborators around the world to work in better conditions and in complete safety.
