Turning ideas into a reality​

Our Aylios digital consultants work alongside you to define your vision, business goals and also the best way to achieve them. 

On this journey, we have several steps:

First, assessing your current situation

Evaluate your digital maturity

To carry out your digital diagnosis, we have created a simple tool to determine your Digital Maturity Index (DMI®).​ ​

This allows us to position your company with regards to 3 areas : 

  • Experience & customer journeys
  • Organization and employees
  • IT operations & infrastructure

Then, expanding the field of possibilities

Picture your future use cases

We help you define your digital challenges and ambitions, identify digital pools of value and growth drivers… 

In short, we provide you with a value strategy that is consistent with your DNA and your raison d’être. 

And to go further, benefit from the opportunities brought by new disruptive players. We are active in the innovation ecosystem to grasp the trends of tomorrow, always at the service of your strategic thinking.

Finally, setting out a course to follow

(Less is more)

Prioritizing to move forward is the key to a successful strategy.

Our role is to help you prioritize your objectives, while considering your challenges, the complexity of each idea, as well as market trends.  

Then, together, we transform the identified objectives into a shared, stable strategy and a clear, achievable roadmap. We design your future business models

Promoting Responsible digital practices​

Building tomorrow’s innovative solutions means making more sustainable and responsible choices to :

  • Reduce the ecological footprint of digital technology within companies
  • Put people at the heart of your digital ambitions

 

To meet this challenge, we support you in a “strategy to delivery” approach:

Assessment​

We provide you with support to establish an overview of your infrastructure (data center, software, hardware, etc.), your practices (purchasing policies, reuse, recycling, etc.), the accessibility of pathways and the degree of appropriation of digital tools by your employees


… In short, a true 360° diagnosis

Action plan & roadmap​

Once the assessment is established, we share with you all the possible options to improve your environmental impact, and we build together the action plan. We also help you to structure a Green IT Governance ( a must for a successful transition) and to instill a real change in the company culture.

Support the overall implementation​

Implementation of new tools, new operating methods, change management, communication… we are at your side on all fronts

Mastering the codes of Digital Marketing​

To be visible, on the right channels for the right targets, you need to enable all possible action levers.

 Count on us to help you find the right recipe!

Performance analysis​

We work with you to define your “typical” customer profiles and the best way to attract them​

SEO and SEA

Organic or paid search engine optimization... we help you understand the rules of the game to boost your traffic​

Social Media

Using social media networks? Absolutely! But which ones? And how?​

Digital channels​

Emailing, texting, display campaigns... we break down all the options

Content Marketing

We help you define a three-part strategy: target / channels / content, to get your brand's message across

Lead management​

Get your customers' attention? That's good. Turning it into business success is even better. We help you optimize the entire value chain of lead transformation coming from digital channels

RPA and AI, the winning duo for intelligent and efficient processes

With proven technologies nowadays, the combined use of AI and RPA can help you expand the limits of efficiency. Our challenge…to help you identify the processes/activities to optimize and create augmented robots that will free your teams from repetitive tasks.
