Abstract
Having to deal with a great amount of documents and applications in a heterogeneous environment, French state utility EDF decided to launch a two year IS project. Different prototypes, based on user requirements, were built to demonstrate technical solutions:• a repository tool storing engineering process models to help engineers to carry out their activities in accordance with ISO 9000 standards [ISO],
-
a documentation consulting system giving quick access to the right information needed in engineering doctrine documents,
-
designing and developing new reusable components connected to legacy applications, in a heterogeneous hardware and software environment.
During the evolution of the project, a new need emerged: to allow a friendly, easy-to-use access to information. Therefore, it became obvious that an essential part of a modern IS system is a business oriented unified workstation.
