Application mapping and implementation of a process repository in the retirement funds sector

Over the past few years, we have observed a large-scale movement to federate social welfare groups and converge retirement information systems, whereby the objective is to simplify the monitoring and payment of retirement benefits. The “Usine Retraite” project is part of this movement. This project is designed to create a single, shared administrative management application for these various systems. The organizations participating in the project have formed different Economic Interest Groups (EIGs), each of which responsible for developing one or more components or “bricks” of the future software.

The overall architecture of the future unified system is based on a divided into consistent functional units, reusing the services offered by the different EIGs and their interoperability. In addition, this architecture simplifies application maintenance and allows for a high level of reactivity to changes in regulations.

GIE Cent chose MEGA to support the process of modeling the DN brick

The “DN Brick” project really started at the end of 2005 with a requirements identification phase. At the same time, the GIE Cent conducted a study on the implementation of a structure and chose MEGA to support the process of modeling the DN brick IT application.

The project started with the launch of a pilot study at the beginning of 2006 designed to validate the diagrams and create a methodological guide for the process.
In February 2006, the specification phase began, using a top-down approach, starting with the functional urbanization plan, corresponding to the highest level, involving the “neighborhood” concept (first-level urbanization zone), business processes and sub-processes, and ending with the unit services. This division into business processes provides a customer-oriented view, which is essential for encouraging internal communication and allowing the system to evolve.

A process is described through its implementation diagram, representing how the process occurs through a sequence of procedures performed by structure-type internal players.
The process for each procedure is represented by a flowchart (total of 15 flowcharts). The flowchart describes the sequence of operations initiated following the receipt of one or more messages and performed by players according to their positions (profile or information systems).
