How EDF Improved Technical Document Production with Calenco

Technical document production issues at EDF

a large volume of documentation and complex data structure

EDF's documentation corpus presented a twofold challenge: on the one hand a very large volume of data to be processed and on the other hand data with a very complex structure, in a context of strict regulatory requirements.

Modernising and simplifying the production chain of technical documents

EDF had to produce and maintain large and sensitive documents, involving many contributors with an absolute reliability requirement.

The historical process, based on office files and manual tracking, generated operational burdens, risk of errors and great difficulty in ensuring overall consistency.

Making the updating of regulatory documents more ergonomic and secure

EDF teams were looking for a simpler and safer way to update their technical or regulatory documents.

Since the volume of data to be kept up to date was large and subject to high quality requirements, the choice of ergonomic content management and automation software was obvious.

Fluidify and automate the publication of a large volume of documents

EDF needed an intuitive tool to publish its documents, monitor updates and ensure a consistent presentation without multiplying manual manipulations.

Solutions provided by Calenco

Centralization of the entire documentation corpus via a single interface

With Calenco, all documents are now collected in a single, ergonomic and secure workspace.

The interface has been adapted to the specific needs of each service.

At EDF, the documentation corpus is now modularised and centralized with a single tool guaranteeing reliability at all levels of the document production chain.

Traceability and automation of document production with absolute reliability

Calenco has been able to structure document writing and automate repetitive operations such as layout, version management or digital dissemination while ensuring an optimal level of data security.

Version management is now automatic, allowing accurate traceability of changes made.

The Calenco solution brought a document production chain in line with the requirements expected today in the field of industry: a structured environment, shared content and a streamlined publishing process, with automation of any process that could be achieved.

Simplification and fluidisation of the publication of complex documents through a dedicated portal

A publication portal has been designed to automate document generation, manage evolutions and allow filtering of content according to user needs.

Automatic and ergonomic export in PDF + Web allows a significant increase in productivity.

Publication is now faster, consistency is improved and control over versions and dissemination is strengthened.
