Interview with Jean-Pierre Peignier, Head of IT Repositories, AG2R LA MONDIALE

What were the main steps of your project?

We started working with Bizzdesign in 2000 under an initiative to begin mapping our enterprise applications. Two years later, we added business process mapping, which until then had been managed using software that was part of the quality management system we implemented for our ISO 9000/2000 certification.
