Reply is a company that specializes in consulting, systems integration and digital services with a focus on the conception, design and implementation of solutions based on the new communication channels and digital media.
Composed of a network of companies, Reply partners with key industrial groups in defining and developing business models made possible by the new technological and communication paradigms such as big data, cloud computing, digital communication, the Internet of Things and mobile and social networking. In so doing, it aims to optimize and integrate processes, applications and devices.
Reply operates through a network of companies that specialize in processes, applications and technologies and that represent centers of excellence in their respective fields of expertise.
Reply's services include:
Consulting – on strategy, communications, processes and technologies;
System integration – to use the full potential of technology by combining business consulting services with innovative technical solutions and high levels of added value;
Application management – the management, monitoring and continuous development of software assets.
In every market segment in which it operates, Reply combines specific sector expertise with wide experience in the provision of services and a wealth of advanced technological capabilities.
Reply now ranks as a leading technological partner for the telecoms and media market, more specifically Reply has defined an integrated offering of strategic and technological consultancy to support the design, definition and management of the new-generation networks, based on SDN (Software Defining Network) paradigms, capable of integrating and managing virtual networks (network virtualization) through network engineering services and network operations. In the field of network security, Reply has provided an innovative solution, based on the paradigms of Ethereum Blockchain, in order to enable the identification, preemption and removal of attacks by hackers on SDN networks, typically more flexible and adaptable to the requirements of the service, but, at the same time, more vulnerable to external attacks.
Lastly, Reply assists its clients in the design and implementation of services and applications designed for latest generation devices and the design of omni-channel engagement models, both at the touchpoint level (physical and digital) and as the development of innovative solutions of customer experience, increasingly integrated with social logics.
Reply is increasingly active in the digital transformation of financial institutions. In this field, Reply is working with some of the major European players in the sector on many key issues, such as the definition of complete multi-channel digital experience and customer engagement strategies: from digital branding to the implementation of apps strategy, from the development of a new generation of portals and multi-channel touchpoints to the complete redefinition of the underlying technological architecture, and the analysis of new customer journeys.
Another subject in which Reply is strongly present and highly specialised is mobile payments and related mcommerce services. Reply offers both consultancy services and a verticalised proprietary platform for various industrial sectors (banks, insurance companies, payment service providers, telecoms, retailers, media and internet companies).
Lastly, in the most advanced frontiers of innovation, Reply is present with numerous projects, such as, for example, in the area of the most recent biometric recognition technologies and digital identity, in IoT applied to specific insurance sectors (auto, home and health), in cripto currencies and in related solutions within the blockchain, in experimentation and assessment of "fintech" models of peer to peer lending, crowd funding and in the definition of specific e-marketplaces for financial institutions.
Reply accompanies companies in the phases of transformation and management of information systems: from strategic design to the understanding and redefinition of core processes, and the implementation of solutions that integrate the core applications in the production and distribution sectors.
The areas of focus and development of skills concern: support for supply and purchase management (SPM) processes; the design of production chain control systems (MES); distribution and movement of products on complex logistics networks (SCM).
In particular, Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 are elements of particular focus for the strategic development of companies in the sector.
Reply has also defined a specific offering for the retail sector that combines e-commerce consulting with the design and development of multi-channel platforms (web, mobile, call centres and instore) in which digital devices, innovations and physical venues meet to create a unique and integrated customer experience.
Reply combines in-depth knowledge of the market and its typical processes with a distinctive ability in the design, implementation and management of application and technological solutions in support of core business in the areas of monitoring and optimisation of generation from renewable sources, trading & risk management, pricing & forecasting, metering, billing, CRM, etc. The ability to support and transform managerial models of operators in the sector and the verticalisation of specific skills and solutions (IoT, big data, cloud, mobile, etc.) will enable Reply to assist energy generation, sales, transportation and distribution companies in defining and developing new operating models and raise cost efficiency, in situations of operational excellence, based on skills in fields such as smart metering, smart grid, asset & work management. Reply also assists its customers in the adoption of new energy management paradigms aimed at raising energy efficiency, a field in which a complete offering is provided, aimed at both energy sales companies and final consumers.
The need for "cost saving" as well as the reorganisation of important sectors of the public administration, including health, have determined in Italy, in 2015, an initial legislative consolidation in central government, with the contextual redefinition of spending centres and, in various regions, the redefinition of organisational models that establish the centrality of citizens with regard to services supplied, be they health or of another kind. The slogan for this transformation is: Digital PA
In this scenario, Reply benefits from the experience it has built up in the most advanced online services, creating vertical applications and expertise that enable it to implement specific solutions for managing relationships with the public and with businesses.
Moreover, another important field of specialisation for Reply is telemedicine, or digital healthcare, which will increasingly move therapies and patient monitoring out of the hospital environment.
Technological innovation has formed the basis for the development of Reply, a company that has always pursued the objective of providing its customers with the tools necessary to increase flexibility and efficiency. Reply is involved in a continuous process of research, selection and marketing of innovative solutions for sustaining the creation of value within organisations.
Big data technologies has moved on from being a strictly technological field to become one of the levers in the digital transformation of companies. Indeed, significant projects were initiated on data for the purpose of defining programmes aimed at improving business performance (e.g. the subject of risk management in financial institutions), innovating service models (e.g. passenger car policies in the insurance sector) or at understanding and serving its customers better (e.g. loyalty programs in the retail sector). By combining technological skills in data analysis, data modelling and process re-engineering, Reply made it easier for its clients to approach the issue of big data, by favouring the activation of a real and concrete pathway of cultural change and by introducing a new approach to data management. In particular, in 2015, Reply assisted companies in the application of big data technology, creating architectures based on the new data lake concept and transforming models applied to data analysis through the insertion of specialised data scientists in projects to redefine core company processes.
Reply has also begun to develop a specific proposal in the field of machine learning for the management of the enormous body of data produced by the world of the Internet of Things and for their use in the creation of added value by companies.
In recent years cloud computing has established itself as one of the most important areas of transformation that companies have had to face. The offering of virtual environments and services by leading vendors worldwide has in fact modified if not revolutionised the concept of IT as it had been traditionally interpreted, leading it to go from being a simple commodity to one of the basic elements on which to configure one's digital transformation.
In order to fulfil the requirements for strategic and technological transformation and change management required for the implementation of the most suitable cloud model for specific situations, Reply has defined a service offering structured along the following lines:
The new communication models and the ubiquity of connectivity, through a wide range of means (that support mobile phones and tablets, smart TV, beacons and devices for virtual reality), have demanded the implementation of CRM solutions that create value by helping to construct a pervasive, immersive and customer-centred experience.
The creation of an optimal customer experience is achieved by building a one-to-one relationship model that focuses on the distinctive aspects of company organisation, on an approach that places the customer and its interaction with the company at the centre of the processes, be they marketing, sales or support and services.
To this end, over the years Reply has built and developed a strategic CRM framework which enables the creation of a unique customer experience for the client, defining an approach coherent with all possible customer journeys, maximising the attraction towards the prospects and the engagement of existing customers.
The digital marketing transformation process that has been redesigning the business world and company functions over the last few years is now also profoundly permeating the market of brand communications. This phenomenon has no geographical or product boundaries, where processes and branding strategy are radically imposing new paradigms and new economies, in a panorama of users who are now channel agnostic, moving freely between new technologies and constantly evolving platforms.
In addition to creating and managing every aspect of the brand image in an interactive digital environment, Reply's skills include creativity and technology, applied to important sectors such as mobile telephony, ecommerce, gaming and the Internet of Things, present and, in particular, future targets of brand names, as can already be seen in the most important international communications markets.
Another important sector that Reply supports its clients in is communication on social networks, a fast developing mainstream phenomenon in recent years that is today, more than ever, being hailed as the global arena of brand-user relations.
The wide diffusion of mobile devices with consumers and the creation of new payment instruments that see in the mobile component a supporting factor, make the payment sector one of the areas with the highest growth rate. Reply has defined a dedicated offer - based on consultancy services and technological platforms - to assist banks, financial institutions, telecom companies, utilities and retailers in the processes to create and supply innovative services of remote and proximity digital payments.
The technological asset is HI Credits™, the Reply platform that, by using the available smartphone technologies, enables personalised and contextualised payment services.
Increasingly more demanding, mobile consumers are now requesting a completely integrated experience from companies, personalised and unified as much as possible through various physical and digital channels. In a similar purchasing scenario, the success of this sector lies in the ability to invest in services aimed at promoting relations and interaction between sellers and customers, constantly innovating and extending sales models with new multi-channel strategies capable of offering consumers different touchpoints, both digital and physical, used to purchase products. One example is the increasingly widespread success of purchasing processes based in click and collect models, very useful in order to avoid additional delivery costs or unexpected events such as delays: purchases are made online and the product is collected free of charge at the shop.
The increasingly widespread use of social media to compare prices and products has further enriched and modified purchasing processes which are increasingly based on an exchange of information and multichannel interactions in which the transaction is begun and completed without a solution of continuity between chat, social media, online store and physical shop.
An evolution of this dimension in the traditional purchasing scenario has led Reply to define an omni-channel strategy centred on customer needs capable of enabling companies to provide the final consumer with a completely unified and integrated experience through online, mobile and physical channels.
Nowadays, digital transformation is the predominant issue in the agenda of companies. All the organizations have created or are creating systems and processes that require a bi-modal approach to information and development and management systems.
In order to excel in the digital economy, characterized by the convergence between the physical and the digital, the organizations must remove the boundaries between IT and business. This will allow companies to operate rapidly to exploit the new developments available to them, proceeding however with caution to avoid damaging existing systems and processes.
This new approach to IT requires agile delivery models in which small, highly qualified, multi-disciplinary teams implement a process of end-to-end change in very short timescales, working directly with the managers of the various business areas involved. Reply supports its customers in enterprise architecture, through the use of a vast catalogue of architectural frameworks, methods and models consolidated in many projects completed for large industrial, media and service groups.
The drive for convergence between the telecoms, media and consumer electronics sectors is making it necessary to treat items that currently lack any form of connectivity as "networked devices" (such as household appliances and home automation control systems). Consequently, one of the major revolutions underway consists of the progressive connection not only of computers and devices but of a range of material objects. This will result in an increasingly more pervasive network integrated with the daily activities of people.There are various fields of application: from industrial applications (production processes) to logistics and info-mobility, energy efficiency, remote assistance and environmental protection.
Reply has designed and developed HI ReplyTM, a platform of services, devices and middleware, on which to base specific vertical applications such as advanced logistics, environmental security, contactless payment and product traceability. HI ReplyTMwas designed and produced at the Reply research and development centre on theInternet of Things.
Thanks to its many years of activity in the sector, Reply has gained extensive experience in the mobile segment, developing skills that range from strategy to the development of mobile applications, from user experience to testing, from payments in mobility to the most recent technologies and devices (beacons, wearables) introduced onto the market.
In order to meet the ever-increasing requests for the supply of services with a high degree of interaction with the user on all mobile platforms, channels and devices, Reply has also set up its own application factory dedicated to the development of mobile applications in both the business and consumer sectors.
Augmented reality (the vision of the real world increased by digital information) and virtual reality (the exploration and interaction of virtual environments) are technologies that have continued to develop over the years, but are experiencing, in this particular period of history, a surprising expansion that involves important investments by the big names in digital technology.
By combining experience in the 3D sector deriving from the gaming world with mobile skills and new technologies in the world of wearable devices, Reply has developed an offering specifically orientated towards the development of solutions devised to increase user involvement. This offering includes the development of augmented reality applications (aimed at visualising a virtual product in a real environment) and immersive reality applications specifically designed to give the user an unforgettable experience, transporting him/her into a navigable virtual environment.
Reply is now one of the leading players in this sector, with a comprehensive portfolio of services for risk management, privacy and information security management. In particular, Reply has developed an integrated approach for measuring and managing risk that is capable of assessing, concurrently, both the risk involved and the potential loss of value and sales associated with that risk. Using this method, Reply enables its clients to implement a set of tools and activities aimed at cutting the operating costs associated with risk management, thereby ensuring that capital and resources can be allocated in the best possible ways.
.
Social media has changed the way people find information and how they interact and communicate. People of all ages use this communication model in an increasingly pervasive and natural way in their daily lives. It has now been embraced on a massive scale by businesses, too, which have seized new opportunities for using these paradigms, seeking innovative ways to connect their organisation/ brand/service with their customers and stakeholders.
Along with market solutions for social engagement and social listening, Reply bases its enterprise social networking offering ((business community, social intranet and consumer community) on the TamTamy™ proprietary platform, available in on-premises mode and as a service on cloud computing architecture.
The explosive phenomenon of mobile and apps that we have seen in recent years brings with it new social behaviour patterns and new habits. One especially obvious phenomenon involves the use of video games. Smartphones and tablets have seen the disproportionate growth of the gaming community, previously confined to owners of consoles or to the PC gaming community, transforming gaming into a mass phenomenon.
Reply has developped an offer capable of satisfying the requirements of the brand from the use of virtual reality and augmented reality to the realization of games to teach (edutainment ) or to promote a product or a message (advergames).
Reply constantly invests to provide, through the use of technology, gaming experiences ever more innovative and capitivating. Reply's credibility in this sector is guaranteed by the quality of the B2C products it has developed over recent years and by the success they have enjoyed in the global market.
Since the beginning of the year, the Group has recorded a consolidated turnover amounting to 186.3 million Euros, an increase of 10.1% compared to the corresponding data for 2015.
All indicators are positive for the period. In the first quarter of 2016, the consolidated EBITDA was 24.9 million Euros (21.3 million Euro in 2015), equal to 13.4% of the turnover, with an EBIT of 22.5 million Euros (19.4 million Euros in 2015), equal to 12.1% of the turnover.
Lastly, the profit before tax from January to March 2016 was 22.5 million Euros (20.5 million Euros in 2015), equal to 12.1% of the turnover.
The net financial position of the Group on 31 March 2016 is also positive by 72.0 million Euros, a sharp increase compared to the 28.2 million Euros recorded on 31 December 2015.
Reply is recognized on the market for its distinctive and comprehensive know how on the entire area of digital transformation. This outcome has been obtained thanks to continuous investments in research and development and a constant process of engineering and evolution of our offerings.
Reply's objective is to increasingly become a point of reference for companies that consider technology as the strategic leverage to compete on the market. For this purpose, Reply is investing in Immersive Reality, Industry 4.0 and Machine Learning, which are crucial themes in the definition of service and products in the near future."
