Evaluating the Energy Impact of Design Decisions in Web Applications
Introduction Software systems represent a significant and growing share of global energy consumption. Recent studies estimate that digital technologies account for approximately 6% of worldwide energy usage, with an annual increase of around 6.2%. This growing concern requires organizations, such as Berger-Levrault, to measure and reduce the environmental footprint of
Yearbook Research & Innovation 2025: Governed, Responsible, and reality-based Research!
We are proud to announce the publication of our 2025 Research & Innovation Yearbook! More than just an annual review, this document marks a structural shift in the way we design and conduct research. Innovation is no longer seen as a simple technological promise, but as a demanding discipline, confronted
Angular or React: Which One Consumes Less Energy?
When developers choose a frontend framework, the usual criteria come to mind: performance, ecosystem, maintainability, developer experience, and community support. But there is a factor that is almost never discussed: energy consumption! As software systems grow in scale, the environmental impact of digital technologies is becoming impossible to ignore. While
Financing Long-Term Innovation: A Strategic Lever for Research at Berger-Levrault
A Strong Commitment to Innovation As a leading industrial company in the field of software and digital services for local authorities and public-sector stakeholders, Berger-Levrault places innovation at the heart of its development strategy. In a context of accelerated digital transformation, anticipating future uses, exploring new technologies, and preparing tomorrow’s
Circular economy and Collaborative Networks: The Future of Asset Management
The global economy is shifting toward sustainability, driven by environmental urgency, regulatory demands, and evolving consumer expectations. Businesses are increasingly adopting circular economy principles, moving away from the linear “take, make, waste” model to systems that extend product lifecycles, minimize waste, and optimize resource use [Rejeb et al., 2025]. This
GitHub Copilot in an R&D Context: Experimentation Feedback and Usage Analysis
After nearly a year of daily use of GitHub Copilot in a software research and development context, here is a feedback report based on my real-world experience. I work as a full-stack developer on projects involving Python, TypeScript (Angular), as well as more transversal topics such as documentation, configuration, and
Migrating Katalon Studio Tests to Playwright with Model Driven Engineering
Introduction Migrating automated tests from one platform to another is a common challenge for software teams. In our recent project at Berger-Levrault, we tackled the migration of functional test cases from Katalon Studio to Playwright, aiming to minimize manual effort and maximize reliability. This post shares our semi-automated approach, key

When business-oriented software meets real life: what SEDIT teaches us
In our first article, we discussed the differences between “ideal scenarios” and actual work practices, and what these differences mean for the design of business-oriented software. In this second installment, we move from theory to practice: how did we measure these differences using SEDIT, an HRIS system from Berger-Levrault used
