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 reach 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 Salesforces.

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 9.2. We are currently working hard to implement an efficient code current strategy.

Our ERP is using following domains (more or less customized):

• Finance 
• Sales & Logistics
• Job Cost, Non-Stock Procurement & Time
• Manuf, Inventory, Stock PO
• Service (even if moving to SMAX)

We have a large scope of interfaces, some are more integrated using Web Services than others.
