EDF-GDMI Merlin v3

EDF GDMI contracted with SQLI to realise its strategic application Merlin V3

Developing a strategic application used in 19 nuclear power stations (CNPE) in accordance with CMM-I requirements

Objectives: to adapt to changing business needs

Merlin assists the CNPE in the application of chemical and radio-chemical specifications, storing data from analyses and ensuring the traceability of changes. This application no longer meets the requirements of EDF in terms of openness and flexibility. It also incurs very heavy maintenance and development costs and its ease of use is unsatisfactory.

Our assistance: realisation of an ergonomical and flexible intranet with an MCO guarantee

EDF-GDMI awarded SQLI the renewal of Merlin into a light client intranet application with three objectives:

Provide users with a new ergonomic and convivial user interface;
Propose new functions to users and ensure that the application can be adapted to their needs;
Ensure the application's maintenance in operational condition and the skill transfer.

Results: a return on investment within 6 months

The Merlin v3 application completely satisfied end-users, both chemists and non-chemists:

An application that meets EDF's requirements in terms of functions and flexibility
Maximum reduction in response times
Considerable performance improvement
Maintenance costs reduced by at least 50%
Simple and intuitive ergonomics enhancing user productivity and reducing training costs
Intranet architecture that facilities application deployment to every power plant

What our clients say...

Patrick Turgnier – EDF-GDMI Project Manager
"After a short period of floating at the start due to the extreme complexity of the Merlin application's business context (over 1,000 pages of specifications) SQLI managed the project by implementing its CMMI practices for project and risk management. The project was perfectly managed during its implementation and well run throughout and we greatly appreciated SQLI's pragmatic and direct approach. The feedback is very positive: the architecture is reliable, high performing and the ergonomy is popular whilst response times are do not bear comparison with those of the previous application."
