    Singtel, Ericsson And Hp Launch 5g+ Workspace: Revolutionizing Esim Management And Enterprise Security

    In a joint venture with Ericsson and HP Inc, Singtel has launched a service featuring the Ericsson Enterprise Virtual Cellular Network. This service automates eSIM profile management, allowing zero-touch provisioning and secure access to corporate applications from nearly any location. This automation gives enterprises total control over eSIM activation and deployment, thus simplifying operations and reducing IT overhead.

    5G+ Workspace and HP’s Role

    The 5G+ Workspace is also equipped with HP’s enterprise-grade, AI-ready laptops and digital workplace tools. This combination simplifies device management for modern, geographically dispersed teams. Each device is fitted with Singtel’s 5G+ eSIM during production, ensuring secure connectivity straight out of the box. The intelligent management platform automatically activates 5G connectivity according to company policies, enabling IT teams to manage devices, monitor usage, and optimize the employee experience throughout the device’s lifecycle.

    Addressing Hybrid Work Challenges

    With 76% of employers in Singapore transitioning to hybrid work models, concerns about connectivity, security, and IT complexity have emerged. Singtel’s 5G+ Mobile Workspace addresses these concerns by offering a secure, intelligent mobility platform that supports cloud-native, AI-driven applications on a large scale.

    Enterprise Mobility Management

    Singtel’s unified dashboard allows IT teams to have full visibility and control over enterprise mobility. From a single interface, teams can monitor device usage, enforce compliance, allocate resources, and apply access policies by app, user, or location. This efficient approach eliminates the need for on-site infrastructure and simplifies operations across distributed workforces.

    The platform also supports the direct activation of advanced network services like network slicing, which facilitates high-speed data transfer and real-time analytics.

    5G+ Coverage and Performance

    Singtel’s nationwide 5G+ coverage, including the 700 MHz spectrum, ensures stronger indoor connectivity, ultra-low latency, and speeds up to four times faster.

  • Google is expanding the storage capacity of its Workspace Individual plan to 1TB

    Google is expanding the storage capacity of its Workspace Individual plan to 1TB

    Well, we have good news for those who decided to use Google’s Workspace Individual plan in their business. As the tech giant announced in a new blog post, every Individual Workspace account will soon receive an increase in its storage space.

    But the increase won’t be just 100GB or 500GB. Subscribers to the Individual Workspace tier will soon have access to a whopping 1 TB of storage space. The upgrade will be automatically rolled out by Google, so users won’t need to do anything to obtain it.

    Currently, subscribers of the Individual plan have only 15GB of Google Drive storage, just like the free personal Google accounts we all use. But as users grow their businesses, they will need more space to keep their documents, data, and digital assets, so 15GB may not be enough at some point.

    In addition to the storage increase for Workspace Individual users, Google is also rolling out a new feature called “merge tags” to Gmail, allowing eligible Workspace users to send more personalized emails to their audiences from the web version of Gmail.

    When sending mass emails to many people all at once, users can put merge tags like “@firstname” and “@lastname” in their text. Upon sending the messages, these tags will be replaced with the first and last names of the recipient, creating more personalized emails. This feature will be available to users with Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Workspace Individual.

  • Best companies for French citizens to work for in 2019

    Best companies for French citizens to work for in 2019

    In its fourth year of running a top employers list for France, Glassdoor has seen several companies — like Thales and Airbus — make a reappearance over the years. This December however, the company that’s been hailed as the best place to work for 2019 is a newcomer to France’s list: fashion designer Hermes.

    It’s fair to say that France is renowned for its luxury brands, yet Hermes is the only group from this field to make it into this year’s top 10, with Louis Vuitton and L’Oreal coming in at 11 and 16 respectively.

    Instead, a few other industries fill the top 10, including transportation and retail.

    To compile, Glassdoor assessed the input that workers give when offering feedback, in addition to recent ratings, which are on a scale from 1 to 5.

    The top 10 firms found in this Glassdoor list surpassed the average global rating of 3.4; with each group receiving a figure of 4.2 or higher.

    Below are the top 10 firms for this year’s ranking.

    10. Amazon

    Coming in at number 10 is e-commerce titan Amazon.

    With a global workforce of more than half a million, Amazon is renowned for its job creation with the e-commerce group stating that in the past five years, it’s created over 125 jobs every day in the States alone.

    While office perks vary from country to country, some benefits mentioned include access to medical care and career development programs.

    9. Leroy Merlin

    Another retailer that’s winning over workers as well as consumers is French-headquartered Leroy Merlin.

    The DIY group’s operations are featured in about a dozen countries, with 100,000 staff members employed to keep the retailer functioning around the clock.

    Having placed on Glassdoor’s “Best Employers” for France since the survey began in 2016, the retailer attributes one reason why it remains popular among employees, is that it sees people as the “central resource” of the business.

    8. Thales

    Moving up from last year’s no. 24 spot, Thales is all about being a responsible leader in the transport, security and defense spheres.

    While Thales has attributed “acting responsibly” as a crucial quality to its long-term success, it’s not the only qualities it aims to foster.

    Inside the firm, Thales is dedicated to supporting its staff, through promoting diversity, team collaboration and career development — it even has an in-house university to support employees through any part of their profession.

    7. AUTO1 Group

    From its small beginnings in 2012, AUTO1 Group has now become Europe’s leading car trading platform with its operations taking place in over 30 countries.

    Inside the company, more than 3,500 people from over 55 nationalities are employed — which AUTO1 attributes as one of its key strengths when it comes to keeping the company thriving on a financial level.

    6. onepoint

    When hiring, onepoint looks for talent that holds “cutting-edge skills, (a) strong commitment to the Group and an open frame of mind.”

    In return, onepoint dedicates a large amount of time on an employee’s first few weeks with its integration period strategy; which can include introducing them to partners, training and different teams.

    On Glassdoor, reviews indicate that the company offers an innovative atmosphere with a strong, upbeat culture.

    5. Saint-Gobain

    With more than 180,000 people hired worldwide, Saint-Gobain asks its large workforce to abide by five key values during each workday: to be agile, uphold the open and engaging culture, foster strong relationship with clients, constantly innovate and embrace their entrepreneurial abilities.

    In return, staff members have a range of work benefits on offer. In France, this can include personalized training and commercial discounts.

    4. Adrexo

    Making its debut in Glassdoor’s rankings for France, Adrexo is considered a leading private operator of advertising print in the country, having collaborated with the likes of McDonald’s and Haribo.

    Inside the firm, over 20,000 individuals in France have been employed by Adrexo and no matter what level they are at, the company wants to make sure it promotes each person’s leadership and entrepreneurial capabilities.

    3. Ubisoft

    The business that’s seen success from the likes of “Assassin’s Creed” and “Far Cry,” is winning over its employees as well as consumers.

    With more than 14,000 workers running its ship, Ubisoft is keen on hiring individuals who are innovative and ooze creativity.

    While game design is an important role at the videogaming firm, it’s not the only job in town, with Ubisoft offering a whole host of divisions including marketing, programming, finance and quality control.

    2. Criteo

    Last year’s winner Criteo has moved down to second place for 2019, yet the ad firm remains a top favorite — with employees applauding the staff who’ve been employed and the strong overall management seen, Glassdoor reviews reveal.

    From what began as a start-up in the mid-2000s, Criteo has now transformed into a business with dozens of international offices and several “success stories,” such as partnering up and helping the likes of Office Depot, Sephora, and Microsoft.

    1. Hermes

    When people think of this high-end luxury brand, the iconic, top-dollar Birkin bag often comes to mind. Yet that’s not the only product on offer at Hermes.

    The luxury group sells jewelry, fragrances, watches, accessories and more to customers across the globe, both in brick-and-mortar stores and online.

    Inside this designer world, over 12,000 people work hard to keep the brand running at full speed and are hired to keep true to its values: high standards and authenticity, imagination and daring, elegance and simplicity.
