Staffing ramp-up with Nantes: the case of SFR

The French telecommunicationscompany SFR chose onepoint for themigration of its legacy system and its12-million-client database. In order todo so, onepoint implemented a BIOSmigration platform (Billing and OrderManagement System), partially runfrom Nantes.

The graph below shows the evolutionof staffing ramp-up in the BIOSMigration project. Onepoint built a 40-people team with a view to producing3 000 man-days in 6 months. Thecontract was won in January 2011and the peak of activity was attained 3months later, the team being spreadover three different locations:Bordeaux, Nantes and Paris. As oftoday, the project is out of the criticalphase and visibility is higher, whichallows for a single core teamsupervising the activity.

Staffing ramp-up with Bordeaux: the case of the French Ministry of Justice

In 2013, onepoint took over the Third-party application management (TPAM)of Cassiopée, application used inFrench high courts to facilitateinformation management and storage.A Front/Back model was implemented,run jointly by our Production Centersat Boulogne and Bordeaux, togetherwith occasional in-house work for theclient (2 workstations).

This application’s maintenance callsfor a production plan involving morethan 20 people.

In 3 months, onepoint deployed 18people at Bordeaux’s ProductionCenter in order to meet TPAMcapability requirements. This wasdone following a proven approach totransition that demanded a knowledgetransfer process from the providerlocated in Lille to Bordeaux’s Center.

“In 2008, SFR had launched a comprehensive programme to reorganise its commercial Consumer IS, with the Billing and Order IS as its key element.In 2010, we decided to trust onepoint with this migration, for two main reasons:

• We were very satisfied with the projects thatonepoint was already managing for us, and the company was ready to assign to this project recognised experts in migration who also had an end-to-end understanding of the task.

• This fixed-price project brought about a commitment whose weight was supported by the whole company, including its CEO.

As the project unfolded, onepoint and their project teams proved that they were able to provide the flexibility and proactivity that very large projects such as this one need, while working closely with both SFR internal teams and the other parties involved in the project. The project is a success, shared by SFR.”
