In a context of Cloud & Digital transformation, Veolia Water Technologies is one the most advanced French companies in Cloud transformation. 

We engaged in 2014 a full migration of our IT infrastructure to the public cloud. In 2021, we reached a nearly full Cloud application landscape and now working on the next transformation step by transforming application & business. Our Cloud providers are Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and SaaS providers as Salesforce.

The LATIS Program is a worldwide corporate initiative based on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP, which intends to:

• Provide a single Core Model Information System for the Veolia Water Technologies group;
• Increase information availability and exchange across the BUs;
• Support Veolia Water Technologies Business.

This program is one of the largest implementations in France.

In 2020, we completed a Cloud migration to AWS with an upgrade to version 9.2. We are currently working hard to implement an efficient code current strategy.

Our ERP is deployed worldwide, in 44 countries, all continents, representing 4500+ users and using following domains (more or less customized):

• Finance 

• Sales & Logistics (Distribution)

• Job Cost, Non-Stock Procurement & Time

• Manufacturing, Inventory, Stock Procurement

• Service (even if moving to Servicemax)
