Transforming your data platform: feedback from Coopérative U and V and B at the 2025 Nantes Data & AI Show

Discover how Coopérative U and V and B transformed their data platform thanks to Informatica Cloud IDMC, at the Nantes Data Show 2025.

On September 16, 2025, KPC hosted a conference at the Nantes Data & AI Show around a central theme: “Transforming your data platform: performance and innovation levers”. Through two concrete case studies – those of Coopérative U and V and B – the panel discussion highlighted the different possible paths to evolve one's relationship with data and support digital transformation.

Coopérative U: streamlining and modernizing its data platform

For Nicolas Dupont, Data Architect at Coopérative U, the challenge was clear:
“Our legacy data infrastructure had to evolve. The migration to GCP was a strategic decision, supported at the highest level, to streamline our data warehouse and our data lake.”

This trajectory was marked by an unexpected technical challenge: the impossibility of continuing with PowerCenter. The switch to Informatica Cloud IDMC then became necessary, transforming a constraint into an opportunity for modernization. Today, Coopérative U benefits from an environment that is more agile, better governed, and capable of integrating with new analytical uses.

V and B: building a data-driven IT department from the start

For its part, V and B experienced a radically different trajectory. As explained by Omar Aouni, Head of Data:

“The health crisis accelerated our e-commerce project. We had to quickly create a digital foundation for our franchisees and our customers.”

With a newly established IT department, the brand chose Informatica Cloud to centralize and secure its data flows.

This choice made it possible to industrialize information exchanges, integrate a PIM (Product Information Management) and build a central data platform, the true foundation of the company's digital strategy.

The KPC perspective: key success factors

Anthony Mindren, Practice Lead Data Platform at KPC, concluded the conference by highlighting the success factors of such a project: 

“Whether building or streamlining, trajectories differ but principles remain the same: governance, strategic alignment, and the ability to deliver value quickly.”

• Link technology to a concrete business need to quickly prove value.

• Involve management and business units to get the organization on board.

• Break down projects into measurable stages to secure the transformation.

Modern data platforms: a strategic lever.

These case studies illustrate a conviction shared by KPC:

• modern data platforms, combined with robust governance, are a lever for performance and innovation.

• Whether optimizing a legacy system or building an IT system from scratch, they pave the way for sustainable, secure, and strategic data exploitation.
