Sourcing for Autonomy, Resilience and Competitive Advantage. Global platforms offer incredible speed and innovation, but they also create deep dependencies that can expose your business to vendor lock-in, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory shifts. For today's CIO, the central challenge is no longer just about technology adoption; it's about building a digital foundation that is both agile and resilient. Strategic sourcing is the key. It has evolved from a procurement function into the primary tool for CIOs to navigate uncertainty, mitigate risk, and achieve digital autonomy. This session provides a practical playbook for using strategic sourcing to build a future-proof enterprise.

L'IT Public au point de rupture : Vers un modèle à l'usage ? Transformer l'inertie en agilité : le défi du service public. Le constat : L’ère de la possession touche à sa fin Le citoyen n'attend pas que vous gériez des serveurs ; il attend des services. Pourtant, le modèle IT public reste prisonnier du « faire » plutôt que du « résultat ». Entre des budgets CAPEX verrouillés sur 5 ans et des cycles de procurement qui naissent périmés, l'écart se creuse. Le dilemme est stratégique : Comment passer d'une infrastructure que l'on subit à une informatique pilotée par le résultat (Outcome-based IT) ? Est-il possible d'adopter la souplesse du Cloud sans abandonner les clés de notre souveraineté ? L'objet du débat : Le "As-a-Service" au-delà du concept Nous vous invitons à remettre en question les promesses des modèles orientés vers la consommation. L'objectif est de débattre, sans tabou, du potentiel réel de ces approches pour le secteur public : Inverser la responsabilité : Passer de l'achat de matériel à l'achat de niveaux de service (SLA). Est-ce le secret pour libérer vos équipes de la maintenance ? Aligner le coût sur l'usage : En finir avec le surprovisionnement pour ne payer que ce qui est réellement consommé. Agilité "Procurement-proof" : Comment le modèle à l'usage permet-il de scaler en quelques jours ce qui prenait des mois d'appels d'offres ? La souveraineté par le contrat : Le "As-a-Service" sur site est-il le compromis idéal entre contrôle privé et flexibilité publique ? Le Format : "Zero Slides, Full Insight" Pas de présentation ni de marketing, uniquement une confrontation de visions entre pairs : Cercle restreint : Décideurs du secteur public francophone. Règle de Chatham House : Ce qui se dit à table reste à table. Débat pur : Une discussion structurée autour de vos doutes et de vos ambitions numériques.

Transforming B2B content creation at 2X with Jasper
2X needed a content solution that would scale with the company. With its multifaceted functionality and adaptability, Jasper proved to be the perfect fit for 2X's needs.
2X, a B2B marketing as a service agency, found itself facing a significant challenge amidst its rapid growth. As the company grew from 5 employees to 600 over the past six years, the demand for content creation skyrocketed, leaving the content team racing to keep up. The content team is responsible for various content needs including email campaigns, whitepapers, SEO blogs, ad copy, and pillar ebooks. To add to this task, niche industries require specific messaging and 2X’s content writers needed a better way to produce content more consistently.
They needed a solution to increase efficiency and boost their content production in a cost-conscious way. Plus, as the content team could double in size over the next year, 2X also needed a solution that would scale with their company.
That's when they discovered Jasper. With its multifaceted functionality and adaptability, Jasper proved to be the perfect fit for 2X's needs. From ideation to the actual writing process and editing, Jasper seamlessly integrated into their workflows, providing a personalized experience. By alleviating the hefty demands the content team faced, Jasper enabled more productive work and allowed the writers to continue to thrive in their roles as B2B content creators.
With accessible training materials like the Jasper Academy and Agency Partner Program, 2X was able to onboard Jasper efficiently and solve their needs quickly. Vikram Ramachandran, the lead of AI initiatives at 2X, couldn't be happier with the results. “Jasper Brand Voice, the Jasper API, and custom templates are all scalable features that helped us utilize the tool better…Jasper has been quite approachable for us as a hyper-growth business.”
Implementing Jasper at 2X was a strategic move aimed at improving efficiency and scaling individual productivity across a team of 55 content writers. From ideation to actual writing and editing, Jasper's broad functionality and user-friendly interface seamlessly integrated into the company's workflow of start-to-finish content creation. This allowed the team to focus on crafting compelling narratives and refining their ideas, resulting in content that drove meaningful engagement with their audience.
A compelling example- the Remix template proved to aid as a thought partner at 2X, enabling the team to easily repurpose content and discover fresh perspectives. Vikram affirms this by stating “If I've been staring at the same piece of content for too long… I can remix it up and it may not be the final product but it's enough to spur us in the right direction.”
The Brand Voice feature within Jasper proved to be a game-changer for 2X. Niche industries demand consistency and specific messaging, especially as their business scales, and Jasper's Brand Voice feature ensures that the content produced aligns perfectly with each client's brand identity. Maintaining a consistent tone and style across 2X’s B2B copy projects, from ads to whitepapers, became effortless, resulting in high-quality content that resonated with target audiences.
To ensure adherence to best practices and streamline their content creation process, 2X used custom templates that they purpose-built for their content needs as well as general templates already available in Jasper. The ad templates served as valuable guides, providing writers with a structured framework to follow while creating content. The team quickly implemented industry-standard practices with Jasper's assistance, resulting in content that consistently exceeded client expectations.
With Jasper as an AI assistant across the content team, the company’s SEO blogs were generated 50% faster, allowing the team to consistently produce content while maintaining quality. Additionally, whitepaper writing witnessed a 40% reduction in time, freeing up resources to focus on other critical tasks. Jasper has transformed the content creation process at 2X, enabling them to deliver faster results for their B2B clients. By improving efficiency, maintaining brand consistency, and streamlining their workflow, Jasper has become a valuable asset to the content team. With 2X's dedication to ongoing training and the support offered by Jasper's Academy and Agency Partner Program, the narrative of growth is intertwined with Jasper. As the company plans to double its numbers, the team remains confident in Jasper's adaptability and scalability, ready to write the next chapters of its success story.
