Case Study

Eiffage

Quality management and test automation for the upgrade of a major P2P project.

Ivalua upgrades are absolutely key to take full advantage of the platform innovations and new features, as well as security, UI and performance improvements.

Eiffage has leveraged the Automated Testing Platform of OJC Consulting to maximize the benefits and minimize the cost of their Ivalua upgrade.

As deployment partner of Eiffage for the Ivalua platform, OJC has deployed the full P2P suite since 2017 and has been in charge of all enhancements and maintenance. Acting as interface between Eiffage and Ivalua, OJC assists as well with Project Management, Change Management, and User support.

Upgrades are done by Ivalua while OJC helps Eiffage with preparation, UAT support and follow-up

 

 

Context


Eiffage is a major building and civil engineering company headquartered in France and with operations in 50 countries. Since 2017, OJC Consulting have been Eiffage’s implementation partner for their Ivalua platform.

The solution is used by more than 16,000 employees across France for P2P, covering direct and indirect spend. The complexity of the project comes from its very high volumes as well as the advanced processes allowing Eiffage to collaboratively handle 133 000 orders per month on the platform with their suppliers.

By defining test scenarios before the upgrade and automating their execution with the OJC Testing Platform, Eiffage has been able to accelerate and secure the upgrade, while reducing the time spent on spotting issues and checking their resolution.
