About The Customer
The customer in this case is the French government's Interior Ministry, which is responsible for a wide range of public services, including immigration, public safety, and administrative reforms. The Ministry is a large governmental body that oversees various functions and services critical to the country's operations. With a focus on digital transformation, the Ministry aims to modernize its infrastructure to improve service delivery and efficiency. The Ministry's IT department, in collaboration with Osones, a cloud expert team, is tasked with implementing and managing the OpenStack platform to support the government's digital initiatives.
The Challenge
The French government, through its Interior Ministry, sought to modernize its IT infrastructure by adopting a cloud-based solution. The goal was to support bureaucratic reforms and improve the efficiency of public services. The Ministry needed a robust, secure, and efficient cloud platform to handle various applications, including processing asylum requests and privatizing the driver's license test. The challenge was to implement a digital platform that could support agile development, continuous delivery, and integration while meeting national security standards.
The Solution
The solution involved the deployment of OpenStack, an open-source cloud computing platform, to create a digital infrastructure for the French government's Interior Ministry. Osones, a team of cloud experts, was engaged to transfer knowledge, advocate best practices, and assist in the deployment of OpenStack. The platform was built to host applications such as ASILE for processing asylum requests and ET GOA for managing the driver's license test. The implementation aimed to provide a secure, robust, and efficient cloud environment that supports agile development and continuous delivery. The Ministry plans to expand the platform to other administrations and migrate 150 applications over the next three to five years.
