A new image to represent what the group has become. According to the company, "a name that asserts its ambitious and entrepreneurial spirit of conquest. A name that has its roots in the Latin word 'incrementum', growth. With a graphic expression that represents the combination of talents that form a single entity, and that ends in a 'pixelated' arrow to symbolize the growth of the Group, pointing to the future ".

At the premiere of this new identity, Vincent Rouaix declares: “Assuming a new name is much more than an achievement, it is a new chapter for a group that has been radically transformed over the last 10 years. It will allow us to confirm ourselves as a pan-European leader and a benchmark in the market, accelerate our growth worldwide thanks to our positioning as experts in digital current, and maximize our ability to attract talented professionals, which is one of the pillars of our success. By becoming Inetum, the group expresses its ambition to become an engine of innovation and co-success for our clients ”.

The Gfi group has developed "as a historic pioneer in the sector, maintaining the bold and entrepreneurial culture of its beginnings. Gfi has grown along with social, economic and technological changes, and is now preparing to write a new chapter in its history" , indicates a company statement.

The new name will allow it to better incorporate the experience of a group that has developed and diversified its offering of solutions and its global presence, while addressing the new challenges of its clients and society. For Inetum, its mission is to make this new digital world a world of success and commitment.

A mission that is based on a triple approach of proximity-proximity, automation-industrialization-digitization and solutions-innovation.

Solutions

For Inetum, this new identity is also an opportunity to highlight its offer of solutions with which to face the challenges of its clients. It points to a strength that lies "in its ability to address these challenges in all sectors, with the right mix of experience for the specific needs of each client."

• Omnicommerce: In a sector that is in crisis, lockdowns have further accelerated changes in consumer behavior, while weakening those who have lagged behind in their transformation; we devise agile innovations to enable our customers to better meet consumer expectations and transform quickly, revising their retail model, allowing greater personalization, creating new experiences for consumers, etc.
• Industry 4.0: industrial sovereignty, the location of production and the limitation of the impact on the climate are key issues in the economic policy of France and Europe; Industry 4.0 should enable manufacturers to better address consumer needs while producing faster and limiting their environmental footprint, providing the key to the industrial renewal that society hopes for.
• Cybersecurity: With increasingly digitized uses, rapidly developing telecommuting and intensifying economic battle, organizations are increasingly vulnerable to attack; Strengthening their protection can only work if all stakeholders are aware of these vital issues.
• Smart Cities: the health crisis has accelerated transformation in both urban and rural settings; If data management is key to a successful change that guides and adapts cities by anticipating the uses of their inhabitants, then the key is in the ability of organizations to produce, analyze and understand this data.
• Digital Banking and Insurance: With confinement reducing access to bank branches, digitization has taken a leap in a matter of months, pushing industry players to catch up with a growing order book; While fintechs have created new uses at lightning speed, the challenge for others is to take the lead by continually innovating and inventing the ways of the future.
