Alpi - l’agence landaise pour l’informatique (landes it Branch)
The ALPI was created more than 25 years ago by an initiative from the Conseil Général des Landes
(Landes Departmental Council) to promote, develop, and share IT tools within the department.
Transformed into a Mixed Syndicate in 2004, it has several missions: IT hardware maintenance,
management software support, professional training, application development, web site creation,
provision of virtualisation solutions, technological monitoring, etc. The ALPI currently has nearly 500 member communities.
Succeeding At Virtualisation Projects
The increase in the number of electronic documents produced by communities and the related legal
obligations have raised the question of how these documents should be stored in the long term.
"Until now, there was no intermediary electronic document archiving platform for communities.
There was a real risk of data loss if we did not do anything," explains Renaud Lagrave, Director of
the ALPI.
Based on these observations, the ALPI called upon Logica in 2010 to create an archiving platform
for documents of probative value, for the intermediary and definitive archival of the documents
produced by the member communities.
The Challenge
Digitising the documents from the Landes local governments was part of a national process of
developing an electronic administration system. Based on a sharing approach, the archiving service
designed for the communities of the Landes is intended to serve as a benchmark project for other
French collectivities undertaking virtualisation projects. This represents a significant challenge for a project cofinanced by the European FEDER funds, the Aquitaine regional government, the Landes
departmental government, the Landes Local Civil Service Management Centre and the ALPI.
Our Answer
Called Archiland, the platform now helps collect, process, store and transmit the digital archives
produced by the public institutions of the Landes while guaranteeing better automation of tasks and
better storage security.
