Yves Rocher French cosmetics company located in over 80 countries, decides in Febuary to launch an Intranet for the 550 stores in France.

Two objectives are identified:

1. To offer access to a set of features which simplifies the relationship between the group and its franchise network (Tool Control support, registration, reservation of resources, ...)
2. To offer access to a set of reference content such as news, new products, quality, training, ....

In response to a constraint to put the Intranet on line for July 2010, we chose to conduct a project with agile methods based on Nagare.

The project was implemented in its entirety in six iterations of two weeks. It was an opportunity to develop new features for creating HTML content, navigation of trees and management of access rights for ease of use for end users.

Once again we used the YUI library for the development of the portal presentation layer.

Yves Rocher has also been conducting a security audit on the application implementation to control the privacy of published data and the tightness of the different profiles of users. This audit has highlighted the great qualities of Nagare in terms of securing access to an application built on this framework.

This project, initially for France is expected to manage the problems of multi-lingual, and typology for an international deployment.

This impressive number states how many evaluations have been realised since April 2008 by CITROEN employees on a web skill assessment software, developed by Net-ng.

The project is conducted by the GNFA, national association in charge of automotive training.

Implemented in 2008, the application is based on a set of modules, that have been for the most developed under Nagare. The application interacts with business management systems through webservices.

Among the set of modules, the reporting functionality (700 Mb of data for 6 million data units) has been fully developed with Nagare and widely uses YUI library for presentation (dynamic arrays, filters, ...), reportlab - the OpenSource PDF library for dynamic PDF generation with high quality and complex formatting (contents, inserting graphics) - and xlwt to generate multi-tabs Excel workbooks.

Other projects in skill assessment in the automotive sector are in progress ....To be continued!
