To tackle the transformation challenges facing its markets the company wanted to develop a portfolio of digital services while increasing operational efficiency on a global scale. Leveraging its data was the cornerstone of these initiatives, however Vallourec identified three main challenges:
Complex Global Collaboration:
Scattered Teams and Structure
A distributed data lab with teams scattered across the globe (France, Germany, USA, Brazil, etc.) which greatly hindered collaboration.
High financial risk:
Significant investment required
Large investments would be required if Vallourec decided to build a data processing platform on its own, from scratch. A complex set of processes would also be needed to support projects with a strong governance structure.
Need for quick results:
lots of projects, lots of expectations
Vallourec needed to move quickly and see results almost immediately. They also wanted to avoid the usual pitfalls associated with POCs: several projects were being launched at the same time but they were rarely reaching production.

Collaborative working environment :
Saagie to centralize everything
This enables data engineers, data scientists and data analysts to use leading open-source and commercial data processing technologies without having to learn new languages.
Turnkey solution :
Cost reduction and fast start-up
It allows Vallourec to build data projects almost immediately while significantly decreasing operations costs linked to server maintenance and a complex technological stack.
Multiplying Projects :
Results Accelerator
Several projects to be developed at the same time, from experimentation to operationalization at scale. A first app assisting customers in the selection and assembly of tubes on construction sites was developed in three days during a hackathon and then quickly distributed worldwide.
Additional projects centered around the real-time monitoring and optimization of assembly lines are also in production on the Saagie platform.
