France’s Bouygues Group has signed a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate adoption of cloud services and AI across construction, energy and telecoms
Bouygues will partner with AWS to drive digital transformation in construction through innovative cloud-based solutions and deploying AI to manage risk, increase agility and efficiency, and enhance competitiveness.
The digital transformation of the construction industry will be a major focus of the strategic partnership, with AWS and Bouygues working together to identify the points in the construction lifecycle where digital transformation through the cloud can deliver greatest value.
In addition, Bouygues and AWS will build on their existing collaboration to expand cloud adoption across the Equans energies and services network, Bouygues Telecom and media company TF1 by leveraging AI to optimize operations, enable faster growth and support the launch of market-disrupting services such as accelerated digital production and enhanced streaming TV experiences.
Under the strategic partnership, AWS and Equans will launch LegalAize, a generative AI application deploying Anthropic’s Claude through Amazon Bedrock. LegalAize will help to scale contract legal analysis and risk identification for Equans’ project management teams.
Bouygues media subsidiary TF1 is also working with AWS on cloud and generative AI solutions to optimize digital production workflows and enhance the TF1+ streaming platform viewer experience. TF1 will also accelerate the migration of its video distribution workloads to AWS.
