Renewables in France are breaking records the last days!

Wind energy production reached 16.4 GW on 31st of March (record being 16.6 on the 10th March), meaning that renewables produced more than a quarter of the electricity in France as of March 2023. This is unprecedented and a direct consequence of the soaring energy prices that are hitting the European continent. For the first time,

Why is Information Technology Critical?

Data is what powers industries worldwide. That may be an overstatement, but the ability to collect data and turning it into useful information is crucial. IT provides the means to develop, process, analyze, exchange, store and secure information. At CLS, the power of data is our constant concern. More globally, are we facing a social phenomenon?
