These Education Office projects have numerous goals:

• - Enhance productivity by modernizing working methods and encouraging internal and inter-service communication
• - Make the intranet a powerful internal communication tool
• - Reorganize the School Districts' presence on the Web while conserving the current principle of decentralized operation, giving the target end-users a global and coherent view of the institution, and simplifying access to information
• - Simplify and organize the implementation of spaces and sites specific to particular functions, user profiles or establishments, while ensuring global consistency and federating all users

Give School District staff and other users, in a profile-based manner and on their desktops, all the available information from various organizations (Education Office sites, individual school sites, ministries, etc.) and all the tools needed to fulfill their missions.

For external users (parents, students of all levels, partners, press, etc.), these projects aim to enhance the School District's image, to simplify and centralize access to information, and to handle recurrent, routine requests in order to reduce the number of direct, time-consuming contacts (visits, telephone calls).

For internal users (teachers, managers, administration, etc.), the idea is to provide platforms for dialog and collaboration, better access to editorial resources (simplified access paths, global search engine), easier access to application services (personalization + single sign-on).

This solution, open and compliant with industry standards, gives the IT teams total control. It was implemented by Education Office staff with expert support provided by Jalios and, in some cases, other external assistance (e.g. Micropole-Univers for the Paris School District).
