WL Contact, the Cloud-based solution tailored for omnichannel strategies Consumers’ communication means and channels have drastically evolved during the last two decades. Where do companies stand in regards to these changes? Companies’ mutations are usually linked to people’s behavioral changes as consumers. With the evolution of communication and consumption habits, companies now need to be ready to answer hyper-connected, hyper-mobile and less patient consumers. It has become a necessity for companies to put in place and coordinate new communication means for the sake of a truly omnichannel customer relationship. The Worldline Cloud-based Contact Center solution, called WL Contact, ensures continuous interactions and a 360° view of customers to help companies put this omnichannel strategy in place.

Cost savings and efficiency for remote maintenance with Industrial IoT In the near future, IoT will probably play a key role in the industrial sector. Can you explain what Industrial IoT is and how it differs from consumer-facing IoT? The difference between Industrial IoT and consumer-facing IoT can be illustrated by looking at the following key facts: Technological lifecycle: For example, consumers change smartphones every three years on average. With each change, new embedded technologies become available. After three or four generations, compatibility issues may arise making some applications obsolete. When it comes to Industrial IoT, machines tend to operate for decades and they must be supported during their lifecycle. Furthermore, consumers are used to getting weekly updates on their devices and that is not feasible with industrial devices due to the fact that solutions’ updates often have to go through an approval process to be released.

Streamlining of the payment and billing processes thanks to digital transformation - Part 2 In the context of the digital transformation, how is Worldline helping companies face these new challenges? In order to help these companies, we relied on existing and proven assets. Indeed, Worldline has been offering payment and e-billing solutions for many years now and we have learned to adapt them to the intricacy of our clients’ use cases. For example, we are able to trigger billing to the different entities of large corporations, when they are organized by divisions, by departments, or by regions, while taking into account their international scope. Read the full interview. NFC Technology and PCI 4 certification, key drivers in the payments terminals market Can you tell us how the payments terminals market is doing? The payments terminals market is currently growing all over the world. The strongest growth is happening in developing countries such as in Asia Pacific and South America, which have seen double-digit growth and represent important development opportunities for us. For now, Worldline sells its products mainly in Europe, where the payments terminals market is experiencing consistent growth, with a nominal growth between 3 and 6% per year, whereas it is closer to 30% in Asia. On one hand, this growth comes from new retailers buying payments terminals; and on the other hand, this growth can be explained by technological advances, such as the ones we saw with EMV (Europay Mastercard Visa) and credit card authentication by chip and pin, which stimulate the market. Read the full interview. Streamlining of the payment and billing processes thanks to digital transformation - Part 1 Nowadays, digital transformation is changing several industries. What are the impacts on payments? Today, digital transformation impacts all consumption habits. In the past, for example, we used to go to a hardware store to buy a hot water tank. Tomorrow, the store will no longer sell it to us but will rent it out. This will be a connected tank and its rental price will vary according to its usage. Similarly, when it comes to insurance, we will no longer pay a fixed monthly fee but a fee depending on the usage of our car or of our home. We also find this digital transformation in B2B. Major manufacturers connect their vehicles, their buildings, their machines in order to offer new added value services to their clients, and to bill them recurrently. Read the full interview. Jump onboard the high speed Digital Transformation How is the rail industry impacted by digital transformation? Every business process in the railway industry, from planning services to allocating resources through to marketing and sales, is impacted by digital transformation. This is true for both the infrastructure companies, which provide the needed physical infrastructures, and the Operators, who provide services to the general public. In this context, the biggest transformation to come will be the digital transformation of railway operations, in which railway tracks are administered along with the space between each train using these tracks. In the future, digital transformation will automate the information exchange between rail tracks and trains, automating train control. Read the full interview. Worldline expands its people's professional horizons Can you briefly define the concept of internal mobility? Laurence: Internal mobility consists in changing position while staying in the same company. For example, the collaborator can change position, or work on another market, be promoted to a higher position, or change offices and even relocate to another country. Laurette: A key element to remember about internal mobility is that it offers as many possibilities as there are different profiles in a company. Each team member is unique and builds his/her own career according to his/her skills and his/her state of mind. Read the interview.

Thus, it is in this context that, in early 2015, Bouygues Telecom began the transformation of its 550 points of sale, which represent the company’s showcase and brand image. Bouygues Telecom naturally turned to Worldline for help with this implementation, following a first successful contact regarding SEPA mandates in 2013, the goal being to create a fully digitized customer journey.

Worldline’s R&D department has been working on this subject to develop new solutions. The Blockchain technology allows the creation of an authenticated, accountable and distributed chronological tracking system of transactions or events on a unique ledger. It is self-managed, secured, and works with a set of rules and a calculation process. Initially, it was created in 2008 to support digital payments made in Bitcoins, but it is now becoming more and more developed for other uses. Blockchain has numerous advantages which makes it an attractive technology to use in the development of innovative solutions in several industries. Read the briefing. The human capital, the key to our success How would you present our hiring strategy, and its implementation, to applicants wanting to join us?

These young talents can then be hired on a permanent contract; about 60% of them receive a permanent contract offer following their internship or apprenticeship. Read more.

In this interview, Stéphanie Noguès discusses sustainability, its inherent inclusion in our solutions and their sustainable qualities. Read the interview. Identity: Creating value through customer empowerment When it comes to identity, banks definitely need to consider the bigger picture. Of course Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), Money Laundering Directive 4 (MLD4) but also the EU Global Data Protection – will create both additional compliance burden for banks and huge opportunities that banks should consider seriously. In a context where digital security is crucial, banks hold a unique combination of customer knowledge, trust and ability to secure and protect identities. Beyond security, banks realize how much identity and privacy are becoming differential and competitive assets. Read the article.

WL Connected Piggy Bank, more than just another connected object The world of connected objects is growing on a daily basis. Can you tell us about the latest advances and developments in this prolific industry? Indeed, this industry is rapidly evolving, a fact that was highlighted at this year’s CES* with new start-ups, specialized in this field, and many new concepts. What is interesting is that the current trend is the enhancement of objects, which are already helpful in our daily life, such as toothbrushes or alarm clocks for example, by adding connectivity through the Internet of Things. This trend shows that the industry is no longer just for gadgets and new concepts, which consumers have to incorporate in their daily lives in addition to what they already use. Read more.

Can you tell us more about this event and its strategic importance for our Company? Santi: The Mobile World Congress is a global event and is probably the biggest worldwide event around mobile solutions. When it started ten years ago, it was more focused on telecommunications and operators.

One of the major changes that digital has brought to companies, whether they are from the public or the private sectors, is the digitization of their processes. By this, they have been simplified and secured. In fact, , the main goal of digitization is to replace paper-based forms by electronic versions, while still maintaining their evidential aspects, such as the document’s authenticity and user-related identities for example. Read more. Stimulating Innovation at Worldline Our innovations regularly receive awards and innovation in itself is at the core of our DNA. In this context, how do we stimulate and inspire the spirit of innovation at all levels of our company? To answer this question, it is important to first know how we define innovation at Worldline. Our definition is both simple and wide enough to enable a majority of our team members to give free rein to their innovative ideas. It can be equated to a three-legged stool, with one leg representing “novelty”, one for "value creation" and the third one for "concreteness”. Following this analogy, if one of these legs is missing, it simply does not stand as an innovation. Read more. Big Data and our WL Contextual Analytics solution What is Big Data and what are its benefits for companies and consumers? Applied to Marketing and consumer behavior analysis, Big Data comprises different types of technology that enable structured and unstructured data collection from all the interactions between consumers and brands. The major change, which occurred a few years ago, is the integration, and processing, of unstructured data such as website navigation, customer reviews, social media posts and even videos. These data points are then mixed with transactional data from online and in-store purchases, in order to enable more precise analyses and, therefore, a more detailed understanding of the consumers.

Read more. Wearables, a tool to simplify the buying journey How will wearables change relationships between merchants and consumers? We envision that, in a near future, these wearables, such as smartwatches and connected bracelets, could simplify authentication when it comes to payments and access to digital services.

Digital Wallet, from dematerialization to convergence What definition can we give to the Digital Wallet? We define a Digital Wallet as a secured container for digital identities.

Its goal is to simplify e-transactions, both online and in the physical world, while guarantying their security. Read more. Our ranking in the Ovum Decision Matrix Our activities include software licensing; can you tell us more about this part of our business? Worldline has a substantial history in software licensing, having been in this business across Asia Pacific and Europe since the 80s. Local solutions had already been developed in Germany, France, Spain and APAC when we released, in 2004, the first iteration of our Worldline Pay solution combining Acquiring, Switching and Authorization solutions that were historically developed and sold separately. Subsequently, we continued our year-on-year investments in this solution to further develop key components such as Issuing Back-Office, Real-time Fraud Detection, Fraud Investigation and Case Management, and Mobile Payments, amongst others. Read the interview. Smartpay – A solution to bridge the gap between online and in-store mobile payments How has the mobile payments industry evolved in the last few years? The industry has evolved by leaps and bounds in the last few years. When I joined Worldline in 2008, the NFC card was being presented as the revolutionary method that would change our payment behaviors. As we know now, this method took quite some time to take off but, with the success and fast adoption of smartphones, consumers have adapted their behaviors and are now doing almost everything on their smartphones. Therefore, pushing a mobile payment solution on smartphones which does not need NFC as a prerequisite is relevant, and Worldline makes it easy to achieve. Read the interview.

Read the interview. Trusted Authentication, our solution for strong authentications When it comes to payments, how has authentication changed and improved in the last few years? Online payments were first made available to merchants about twenty years ago and, from the get-go, the main point of friction has always been buyer authentication, and therefore payment guarantee. When global regulations, such as 3DSecure, appeared, it became mandatory to authenticate buyers in order to guarantee payments for merchants. Read the interview.

Paris Retail Week is the fusion of two separate trade shows: e-Commerce Paris and Digital in Store by Equipmag. It occurred in this new state for the first time this year. This new format is to our advantage because, while we were historically present at e-Commerce Paris, our solutions were also presented at Digital in Store by Equipmag, trade show dedicated to physical stores, given our partnership with Samsung.

Making car a node on IoT How do you think connectivity and telematics will influence the purchase decision of a new vehicle buyer in the near foreseeable future? It really depends on many factors, such as the region, the car, the services and, of course, the quality of the user experience. For example, in Europe people usually don’t pay for safety & security services, as they do in the US. And in Japan, people are more attuned to technology and therefore willing to pay for highly integrated connected systems. What’s more, most in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI) apps just don’t deliver enough value to address the mass-market. Also, take-up rates can be quite modest: Connected Satellite Navigations systems will soon equip more than 50% of new cars, most of them will be connected and user subscriptions will be only around five to 20%.

Digital touches banks’ DNA, from the way they create products to the way they distribute them, as well as their daily customer touchpoints. It is an opportunity for banks to reinvent themselves and even a must-do as they face the ubiquity of online giants and the rise of creative and agile FinTech* companies. In addition to generational changes, the customer has changed with the smartphone’s hegemony and the increased presence of cloud services. The typical customer is, therefore, more connected, better informed, and experienced in e-commerce. He wants more transparent banking services which need to be more accessible than ever.
