The need

In mid 2005, Crédit Agricole Center France's decision to redesign its intranet portal. The latter was in effect until then on a Lotus Notes database, and thus too rigid. In particular, the portal could not evolve according to the wishes expressed by users. Crédit Agricole Center France relied on a benchmark made up by its parent company, which indicated the strengths of Jalios ie many features especially in terms of content management and an excellent value for money. These two points were the key elements for Crédit Agricole Center France. Trainees were then carried out a study for a little over six months to define the various elements necessary for the implementation of the solution within the information system of the Credit Agricole Center France. The basic specifications for deploying the company intranet was built.

The solution

Thanks to the support provided by headquarters of Crédit Agricole and Jalios, the implementation went without worries. There were no changes or new infrastructure in the information system requiring additional developments, the solution was Jalios JCMS easily integrated information system exists. The training tool has taken time but its ownership has no particular problem Break. Developers are connected to JaliosXperience to ask their questions as their questions and get answers quickly required. To date, "there is no bug." One issue that was raised in the specifications was the search engine, this point was totally supported by JCMS, it is an undeniable strength of the solution proposed by Jalios. Another important point was indexing the parts including type pdf, again, the solution provided by JCMS allows everyone to use this feature. Crédit Agricole Center France also thought to extend this functionality to other external applications. Currently four applications (documentary and publication basis) working on the platform Jalios fully meet the needs of users. A fifth application of Human Resources should be added to the platform in 2007. The final design of the portal is being finalized.
