Introduction

Francois Laborie is President of Cognite North America. Our conversation covered his background working in aerospace for EADS (now Airbus) and how his first hand experience working with supply chains, the assembly line and early iterations of augmented reality helped shape his views of how information analysis is critical to optimizing business processes.  We discuss some of the unique aspects of working with industrial data, and he highlights the work that Cognite is doing with key clients to help bridge disparate information systems and deliver relevant value add insights to users.
