Organisation and IT systems

The IT department plays a key role in the implementation of major projects connected to the corporate plan of the company. In addition to these projects, which affect software applications, IT infrastructure, security and logistics, the department must also cope with the regular and urgent demands of interfacing, implementation, adaptation and improvement coming from different business lines. The IT team is a fixed size and often finds itself under-resourced to face these demands, resulting in the need to prioritise.
Our tool, NEOFI Link, enables this high number of demands to be responded to, without necessitating their implementation to be postponed and while keeping to the road map.

NEOFI Link allows this high level of reactivity with two approaches

Allowing functional users to take control of their own needs

• NEOFI Link has been created so that the functional user, who is not computer literate, can automate very technical tasks, while following structured and centralised business line processes.
• NEOFI Link community gathers together functional users and allows them to exchange processes and business line connectors
• Accepting new data formats is done very quickly

High level functional EAI/ETL within the IT department

1. Have the different applications of the company communicate rapidly
2. Respond without development to the very specific requests of operational managers
3. Processing of business line connectors (process, banking formats, applications) available
   
4. Create personalised reports rapidly
5. Guarantee the confidentiality of data exchanges
6. Migrate data between different applications
7. Manage production environments, tests and different versions of each process
8. Supervise, via the web, all the processes installed by the different operational departments
9. Usable by project managers (no language pre-requisite)
10. Processes are auto-documented
11. Process traceability is natively guaranteed
12. An organisation engine allows the automatic planning and launching of tasks
13. Reversal of error process
    

The benefits of such a solution

• Considerable time saving and a refocusing of the IT department on its own projects
• Reduce or even completely eliminate complex command macros, scattered and non-maintainable
• Make the functional users autonomous when faced with technical constraints
• Bring together the IT department and the functional preoccupations of the operational managers
  
• Improve reactivity when facing changes, while ensuring productivity
• Reduce specific developments and the obligation of tasks that do not add value
• Eliminate the risk of handling errors and breaks in processing
• Have permanently available self-documenting and easy to maintain processes
• Have a real time view of whether all the processes are running smoothly
• Be alerted by e-mail or SMS of technical or functional incidents
