SNCF Réseau’s Quality and Methods department was looking for a way to help its engineers gather primary data (i.e. topographic data or core samples) more easily and to make the most out of the existing data within the organization. The division was looking for a solution capable of:

• Making internal data available to all project and study teams
• Encouraging data sharing between the various groups of engineers
• Cutting costs associated with data duplication within the division
