04/02/2021

As part of France Relance and the France Num initiative, Bpifrance has been entrusted with the implementation of calls for projects. Bpifrance tasked the “Tous en ligne maintenant” consortium, formed of Afnic, CINOV Numérique, Neocamino, La Mêlée and the CPME and their partners the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, the CINOV employers’ federation, the insurance brokers’ association Planète CSCA and the AFPA training institute, to speed up the digital transformation of 3,000 VSEs/SMEs, retailers and tradespersons who have little or no experience of the digital world.

Tous en ligne maintenant

The consortium will apply a methodology implemented since 2020 to identify, initiate and provide support for a limited time to 3,000 structures that need to speed up their digital transition. The large-scale, nationwide roll-out of the “Tous en ligne maintenant” programme, run as a pilot scheme last autumn, will be launched in May and continue until October 2022.

The programme was designed to bring together VSEs, retailers and tradespersons with similar problems in a given region in groups of ten to fifteen structures. With one goal: to instil mutual assistance and networking, both a token of success in the digital transformation of small companies.

The 3-week programme is based on personalised support in several phases: first, identify the specific needs of each business, then the more concrete training, coaching and implementation phases. A coach and a head of operations accompany each “class” and provide expertise, monitoring and skills training for each participant to ensure the operational implementation of the required tools after three weeks.

For more complex needs, this support mechanism will have as its objective the preparation of the terms of reference and the identification of service providers to which the project can be delegated. The beneficiaries will also be steered towards aids, solutions and competences that can assist them beyond this initial stage.
