EDF : Visual Scope, a solution to suit the scale of the Group

Published on Wednesday, September 24th 2008

"In a short time, Visual Scope has become an important reference tool for the Group. The solution centralises essential data concerning subsidiaries, entities, individuals and mandates. This knowledge base is extremely complete and increasingly consulted by Group entities."

Philippe Després, Member of the Delegation of Board Directors and Companies

In the context of its international projects, EDF must produce a large number of reports describing its group activities, and in increasingly fine detail that goes far beyond basic information about the companies controlled. Visual Scope enables it to.

The tool also provides the Purchasing Division and EDF Assurances with the data they need to ensure the greatest number of entities benefit from master agreements negotiated on the Group level.

Lastly, the Visual Scope database feeds information to many Group information systems, in particular the HR department, where it is used to valorise executive mandate experience and monitor career paths.

"Visual Scope offers the Group efficient management of its corporate representatives and a global vision of its subsidiaries and entities. This makes it a truly essential tool" concludes Philippe Després.

EDF is the main electric power supplier in France and one of Europe's leading energy providers.
