AESN has also renewed Atos Origin’s managed operations E40 million contract for five years. As part of the renovation process, AESN’s IT system will be migrated towards ‘Open Source’ solutions in compliance with IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL1) best practices.
The revamp will involve migrating mainframe infrastructure to web technologies, introducing geographic data and decision-support software, and building an extranet so that non-agency participants may interact and consult data remotely.
AESN has also renewed Atos Origin’s contract for managed operations and technical and strategic contracting for a period of five years. The contract covers maintenance, operation and desktop and network support.
The new agreement follows on two projects already completed by Atos Origin for AESN in 2005. Atos constructed a data warehouse and dematerialized a paper-based subsidy payment process. Under the system, incoming payment requests are scanned and then validated in a dematerialized process that includes an electronic signature and payment order transfer to the Bank of France.
