Enriching information systems and knowledge bases simultaneously

Ardans was created in 1999 by consultants who wanted to help organisations master and integrate knowledge-based systems and information systems in the same environment.

Today, Ardans assists its clients in information engineering processes through the following offers

• Project management assistance and project management,
• Software architecture studies,
• Development of customised software,
• Implementation of interoperable systems,
• Information system maintenance.

The experience acquired by the founders of Ardans led them to manage all of its projects according to the AGILE method (or culture) backed by a pragmatic quality approach.

In this context, Ardans has developed an internal project management tool used in the context of a fixed-price project. This tool was named APM for "Ardans Project Management" and since its creation has been completely integrated into the Ardans Knowledge Maker software package. It takes into account the monitoring documents produced for the project. The follow-up summary tables used during progress meetings are also automatically generated by APM. This platform is directly accessible to clients for consultation and validation of information published by Ardans.

This environment has been tested in the operational contexts of organisations such as ANDRA, CEA, Groupe PSA, Société Générale, EDF, Air Liquide, Transdev etc.
