Ironworks partnered with Alstom Power to develop a secure knowledge management and collaboration solution called LINC, Leadership Information Community. The browser-based system allows managers to easily locate, discuss and approve information required to make decisions that drive Alstom’s business. The capabilities inherent to the solution enhance operational efficiency and reduce latency in making key business decisions.
Before building this new management-level application, Ironworks worked with Alstom to identify the vision, requirements and information architecture of the Information Community. Additionally, the combined company teams created an implementation plan and strategy “Roadmap” to match the company’s short and long-term goals. Deliverables of this effort included the following:
- Flexible Infrastructure model
- Collaboration process model
- Workflow definitions
- Software application architecture
- Content management model
- Document management model
- Technology product evaluations
- Change management and rollout plans
