Gestion électronique des documents (GED)

La GED est un des systèmes de mission critique à l'activité d'affaires d'une société. De plus en plus les sociétés tentent de s'organiser pour fournir à leurs employés un point d'accès unique, un outil de recherche universel à la Google, qui permet d'aller chercher l'information dans les systèmes corporatifs existants (base de données client, système de gestion des opérations, courriels, site Web, etc.) en tenant compte des accès de chacun à l'information. Quand vous ferez le choix d'un outil pour la GED, garder en tête que votre système pourrait éventuellement être très sollicité et devoir se montrer largement interopérable.

Our technology choices 

Talend ETL

Why does my company need this?

Data from a company tend to be dispersed with the use of separate software: spreadsheets, databases, text files and other forms. The ETL tool helps to automate the integration of data from several different sources. It also greatly facilitates batch processing. Don't ask your developers to create scripts (difficult to maintain) for handling tasks and data files, rather opt instead for an ETL software!

Some examples:

Time sheet synchronization from a request tracker.	E-mail fetching and attachment data extraction (calc sheet).

Alternatives proposed by Savoir-faire Linux:

Pentaho Data Integration.

BIRT (Business Intelligence Reporting Tools)

Modeling and reporting tools.

Why does my company need this?

Each company must maintain correspondence with customers, employees and other agencies. Reporting tools can create models in a simple and intuitive way, and then generate letters and reports. They also provide automation and batch processing. Reuse your templates quickly and efficiently for different use cases (batch printing and / or sending, dashboards, statistics). Do not waste time with inappropriate office software, rather choose a powerful reporting tool!

Some examples:

Department director's dashboard	Customer letter	Detailed contract

Alternatives proposed by Savoir-faire Linux:

JasperReports, Apache FOP.

Mondrian / JPivot (OLAP Cube)

Multi-dimensional data navigation.

Why does my company need this?

Its flexibility allows the user to select dimensions (axes), measures (aggregate values), and explore the data warehouse to obtain an accurate view of a situation. The web interface (JPivot) offers a simple and accessible way for any user to connect to the OLAP cube. An essential tool for any enterprise.
