FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Paris/Scottsdale/Oct 15 2020 – Sopra Steria (Euronext Paris : SOP), one of the European leaders in consulting, digital services and software publishing, announced today a technology partnership with the American startup Sky Republic to offer next-generation digital supply chain platforms for automotive, pharmaceutical, retail, and transportation industries. Based in Scottsdale (Arizona), Sky Republic is a pioneer in enterprise blockchain working today for Aerospace and Air Transportation industries. Founded in 2016, Sky Republic built from the ground up the Atlas platform recognized in six Gartner 2020 Hype Cycles. “While blockchain’s smart contracts decentralize the management of digital assets, Atlas’ Sky Contracts automate complex supply chain processes within currently centralized networks” explains Chris Fabre, Sky Republic’s founder and CEO. “Since the 80’s, supply chain networks are based on point to point EDI or API technologies which fragment processes. Control towers were introduced to provide end-to-end visibility and automation but are complex to set up and centralize business benefits. Atlas allows to easily create a trusted and distributed digital twin of a supply chain and fosters co-innovation by decentralizing benefits. Participants can further digitize operations, track and trace assets integrating EDI and IOT feeds, certify goods provenance, or accelerate payments and settlements.” “Improving the efficiency, resilience, and agility of supply chains is more than ever a priority for enterprises in a global economy that is deeply impacted by COVID-19” declares Mohammed Sijelmassi, Chief Technology Officer of Sopra Steria. “We build digital strategies with our customers that are innovative but rooted in their business reality and truly actionable. Atlas facilitates the development of distributed composite applications that can monitor a cold chain end-to-end or track aircraft parts maintenance for example. Sky Republic blockchain offers the right governance model and design maturity to reengineer multi-enterprise processes which remains the key to digital transformation in many industries”. “This partnership creates a new major player in the blockchain market. Together with Sopra Steria, we have the resources, the project and business expertise, and the innovation capability required to serve the biggest supply chain communities. Thanks to Atlas, we can build and run the next generation of digital supply chain platforms” declares Chris Fabre. “We are delighted to contribute to the development of Atlas. Its unique architecture allows to benefit in one platform from all capabilities required in complex supply chain use cases. It offers the best of Ethereum, Fabric, Corda and a B2B middleware. This partnership will strengthen our Sopra Steria’s Blockchain Competency Center, which leverages today more than 200 international experts, in conjunction with our vertical business units” declares Mohammed Sijelmassi.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sky Republic Recognized as a Sample Vendor in Six 2020 Gartner Hype Cycle Reports Purpose-built smart contract platform delivers blockchain automation for tomorrow’s digital supply chain Scottsdale, AZ – 1 October 2020: Sky Republic, a pioneer in blockchain automation purpose-built for the supply chain, announced today that it was recognized as a Sample Vendor in six recent Gartner Hype Cycle reports: Hype Cycle for the Internet of Things, 2020[1]; Hype Cycle for Application Services, 2020[2] ; Hype Cycle for Application and Integration Infrastructure, 2020[3]; Hype Cycle for Embedded Software and Systems, 2020[4], Hype Cycle for Hybrid Infrastructure Services, 2020[5], and Hype Cycle for Managing Operational Technology, 2020[6]. In the reports, Gartner identified Sky Republic as a Sample Vendor for IoT integration. According to Gartner Hype Cycle reports, “IoT integration refers to integration requirements and technologies needed to assemble end-to-end IoT-enabled business solutions that include IoT-specific integration challenges, such as integrating IoT devices, IoT data, digital twins and multiple IoT platforms. Other more traditional integration challenges include enterprise application and data integration, business process integration, SaaS integration, and B2B/ecosystem integration, as well as mobile app and legacy system integration.” “We believe our recognition validates the innovation we bring to supply chain productivity, resilience, and nimbleness through purpose-built smart contracts, also known as sky contracts,” stated Chris Fabre, CEO and founder of Sky Republic. “Our sky contract platform unifies fragmented supply chains with trusted and distributed digital twins that synchronize ecosystems end-to-end, integrate all technologies, and decentralize monitoring compared to control towers. We combined capabilities found today in Ethereum, Fabric, and Corda blockchains so enterprises can quickly go to market with new multi-enterprise applications. Enterprises gain much needed agility through real-time reconciliation, asset track and trace, provenance certification, process optimization, and more.” Sky Republic’s platform is designed to bring the full benefits of smart contracts to currently centralized networks or SaaS solutions, and enhances the overall business experience by further digitizing operations, mitigating disruptions, and reducing friction.
