Tranquil IT and the Responsible Digital Approach

How Tranquil IT helps its clients engage in responsible digital transformation?

The town hall of Nevers, one of our loyal clients, approached us with several questions regarding our commitment to responsible digital transformation. We took this opportunity to write an article summarizing our various commitments.

At Tranquil IT, we commit to 5 key themes to foster responsible digital transformation, focusing on two main aspects: reducing ecological footprint and enhancing social impact.

Optimizing Digital Tools Performance to Limit Impact and Consumption

The systematic and efficient use of our product WAPT in organizations of all sizes (local governments, universities, private sector, etc.) allows:

• Reduction in overall equipment consumption

• Extension of the useful lifespan of IT equipment

“Maintaining software updates is like maintaining a car. With a well-maintained car, you get better driving comfort, fewer visits to the mechanic, and reduced fuel consumption.” Vincent Cardon, President of Tranquil IT

The same principle applies to Samba Active Directory, which operates with low electrical consumption. Additionally, it doesn’t require air conditioning to operate reliably.

Developing Tailored Products and Services

WAPT has been designed to be useful, efficient, and user-friendly. Moreover, the software is accessible to visually impaired individuals: it allows for increased display size without completely disrupting the layout. Special attention has been given to color-blind individuals, who can identify alert information on the screen through differentiated fonts instead of color-coded icons.

Adopting new software can be challenging, so Tranquil IT offers training sessions conducted by an attentive and pedagogical team. This training helps shorten the adaptation and integration period of the software into the organization’s business processes.

Promoting Ethical Digital Practices

Tranquil IT has a deeply rooted culture in open-source software, embodying values such as ethics, knowledge sharing, and transparency. Tranquil IT invests more than 5% of its revenue into communities supporting open-source software, including XCP-ng, Odoo, mORMot, FreePascal, Samba AD, and Pyscripter.

Enhancing Organizational Resilience

WAPT contributes to organizational resilience in two main ways:

• Productivity: Automating repetitive, low-value tasks allows personnel to focus on meaningful missions.

• Cybersecurity: Keeping your IT infrastructure up to date helps defend against cyberattacks. With enhanced cyber defense, potential attackers are discouraged from targeting your secured environment compared to less protected peers.

Samba Active Directory also plays a role in enhancing organizational resilience for adopters of the solution. Samba-AD is simpler to implement, easier to secure, and operates daily much like Microsoft Active Directory. Denis CARDON, Tranquil IT’s General and Technical Director, discusses this in a presentation available on Youtube.

Furthermore, your organization can rely on Tranquil IT for advice and methodologies that promote overall resilience.

Promoting the Emergence of New Behaviors and Values

WAPT, Samba-AD, and Tranquil IT encourage the development of new behaviors and values within organizations:

• Knowledge sharing through comprehensive product documentation and a community forum accessible to all skill levels. WAPT documentation is available here.
• Sovereignty as all Tranquil IT products are either national or GPLv3.
• Enhanced access to alternative software tools to American and Israeli software.
• Increased awareness of data protection for the organization’s clients, patients, and administrators.
