I am Henri Pidault,
I am the chief performance officer
in charge of the digital transformation at SNCF.
I am Magali Dupin,
I am in charge of the continuous improvement
within the maintenance center of Saint-Pierre des Corps.
Digital solutions help us do better,
we are all convinced of that.
But the question is how to make them accessible to all employees.
The goal of this initiative is to provide digital
tools to the entire company.
The idea is make useful digital tools
available to everyone anytime.
With the advent of enterprise social networks,
we deployed Yammer.
which quickly took off throughout the company.
So that was really our first success
with our initiative "Digital for all".
I am Sylvain Martin,
I work for the SNCF group.
My mission is to promote agile application development.
We digitized the reporting of incidents
that occurred on the railway network.
PowerApps with Flow and Power BI (Power Platform)
truly allow us to digitize our business processes.
In few days, we managed to create an app
which data was stored in SharePoint.
All the real time analysis is done in Power BI.
The incidents are transferred and are dealt by the relevant teams.
When we implemented and explained the potential
of these digital tools.
We empowered each employee
whether they work at night or during the day,
to innovate and share their idea on how to improve
their work on a daily basis.
For instance, for our maintenance process,
we have an app called "DigiBoogie".
We rebuild bogies from scratch.
we did everything on paper,
They might be risks of errors,etc.
70% of the paired bogies ended up being unsatisfactory,
which forced us to start over the pairing process.
By using the app, we are sure that our
calculation are accurate and that the pairings are well done.
DigiBogies belongs to those great innovations
that allow us to strengthen our production processes,
and make them more reliable.
We build this app,
Digital Linguistic Application (ALN),
which creates a dialog and reduce tensions
with drivers that are under time constraint.
Hence, we created an exchange platform via tablets
that allow us to communicate more easily with each other.
These new tools PowerApps, Flow and Power BI,
made different business units autonomous
while using this platform.
I am not a developer,
but I was able to quickly learn PowerApps.
Thanks to my two years experience
creating many applications serving local needs,
I now joined eSNCF,
where I am helping others at the division and the company level.
I am Cassandra Cornilleau,
head of the Digital School within eSNCF.
We are proposing a curriculum with onsite and online classes
that meets the needs of everyone
and help them improve their skills in PowerApps.
For us the goal is to bring to life even more projects
by the field for the field.
Today, we trained more than 738 person,
since January,
on SharePoint, Power BI and more recently on PowerApps.
These classes are going really well!
I am Ludovic Malandra,
I am part of the performance and digital transformation team at SNCF.
My role is to create synergy between various groups
including IT, Digital School and business units
to let them work in a different way.
The fact that we are a large organization meant
that we needed to put in place governance and monitoring
given us a broad view of the adoption of the Power Platform.
We quickly realized that we needed
our own store to share our experience.
In this store, we find all the apps and theirs features.
What’s important here is to promote the most successful apps.
The question that we should keep in mind
to help with this transformation is
what is the role of the IT department ?
So we worked in the repositioning of IT
under specific themes which are:
Providing meaningful app references,
Exposing important information system via APIs,
So that business units can consume
these references and APIs in a horizontal fashion.
We re-positioned IT strategy around these themes
so that it embrace this platform and does not resist it
for fear of losing its prerogative with the business.
