Scaling safe, low carbon EPR reactors for France
Edvance, a major player in the nuclear energy industry, is designing and building the nuclear power plants of the future - safer, more efficient, and with a lower carbon footprint. It partnered with Capgemini to adopt a structured approach to effectively meet the challenges of new nuclear power. Capgemini’s mission is to support the industrialization of Edvance’s new European Pressurized Reactors (EPR). Key objectives include ensuring the highest standards of achievement, meeting strict deadlines and budgets, integrating industry best practices, and supporting talent development to stabilize skills across project teams. The project transforms nuclear engineering, moving from unit-based technical assistance to mass-produced platforms to enable more robust management, productivity, and the quality of deliverables. By embedding industry best practices and AI augmentation, Capgemini helps Edvance scale engineering capacity, enhance consistency, and set a foundation for France’s low carbon ambitions.
Rapid SAP migration to AWS and Azure for Repsol
Repsol faced a unique challenge following the closure of Virtustream and the shutdown of a data center hosting Oracle Exadata. Repsol needed to migrate 70 critical SAP environments to the AWS and Azure cloud platforms within 10 months. The tight timeframe, infrastructure changes and around-the-clock interventions meant that operations and business activities needed to quickly adapt. Capgemini, in partnership with SAP, Oracle, AWS and Microsoft, designed and executed an agile, “One Team” migration strategy. Key actions included setting up a secure, organized AWS account structure; copying the live Oracle database to a new system with minimal downtime; and replacing the operating system with a new Linux version for improved security, updates and compatibility. Multifunctional teams of SAP Basis engineers, Oracle architects, and AWS/Azure specialists coordinated changes and updates to minimize business impact. The migration was completed within the project’s strict timeline with no business disruption. Outcomes included a 35% reduction in response times, a 32% reduction in infrastructure costs, and improved availability and disaster recovery planning.
