Challenge	Safran, an international high-tech group, was struggling with the management and control of its immense volume of physical archives. The company was using a complex excel sheet with 154 columns, 500 document types, and 14 attributes. The system was inefficient, time-consuming, and failed to meet the company's business needs and legal regulatory standards. Safran was storing over 340,000 documents and 80% of 100,000 boxes at a third-party archiver. The company was also facing issues with access rights control and rule modification. The increase in legal, normative, regulatory, and internal requirements, along with the growing number of paper flows and audit requests from supervisory authorities, made it necessary for Safran to modernize its archiving system and secure the electronic flows. Frequent changes within the company, such as merges and reorganizations, further emphasized the need to standardize archiving practices across the entire group and improve efficiency. Read More
About Customer	Safran is an international high-tech group and a leading equipment manufacturer in the fields of aeronautics, space, defense, and security. The group comprises a number of companies across the globe with more than 95,000 employees and sales of 24.6 billion euros in 2019. Safran develops, produces, and markets engines and propulsion systems for civil and military airplanes and helicopters, ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, and satellites. It offers a complete range of optronic, navigation, and optical systems for use in the air, on land, and at sea. Read More
Solution	Safran chose Intalio to implement a simple and seamless archiving tool that would support the company and group level rules. Intalio provided Safran with a centralized governance reference, allowing them to set rules for different company and group levels. The solution offered in-house configuration capacity, demonstrating the quality of the implementation. The rules engine was perfectly adapted to the group's needs, providing easy and secure access to rules. Safran could now define the authorized employees at different levels to access the archives for auditing and case management. The new solution enabled Safran to track any modifications or changes, ensuring the enhancement of information assets in compliance with legal, normative, and regulatory obligations. The solution also automated the process of exchanging information and documents with third-party archivers. Read More Log in to view content
