The group wanted to find a single solution able to meet all communication, coordination and cooperation needs not already covered by the business information system, including documentary management, internal communication and communication with partners, project spaces and collaborative spaces.

"In the end we chose the Jalios platform for its ease of use, its broad functional cover, its integration and Jalios's willingness to provide close support during development of our application. We were also impressed by the extension possibilities of JCMS which readily accepts "plugins", including specific modules that we can develop ourselves," explains Anne Roussel.

To keep the Crédit Agricole banking group informed of the initiatives of its 39 Regional Banks (Caisses Régionales) and to change the communication methods across the Group, the FNCA (National Federation of the Crédit Agricole) has created a website with modern communication and collaborative features, plus a social network that has already attracted over 3,000 members.

The project started in autumn 2009 with the creation of www.creditagricole.Info, a dynamic and participative website to which everyone can contribute and which provides articles, communiqués, a media library (logos, Web banners, managers' photo gallery, etc.).

The FNCA also launched its first social network by creating clubs whose members are people who share common professional or personal interest. Each club has a dynamic members directory (in which a small green dot indicates that a person is online).

"We are really pleased with the immense success of our clubs and the social network, which were launched only in April 2010. Making contacts is simple and automatic through the social network, and all staff can now communicate through forums. This has also dynamized our corporate communication and given us a much more modern image," remarks Rodolphe Fleurance, deputy head of the FNCA Publications and Multimedia Department.»
