SNCF - Case study

Most of you have already recognized the name SNCF, it is obviously one that is hard to miss when you live in France. But for everybody else, allow me to do a quick reminder of what SNCF stands for.

The Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (Chemin de fer, literally, 'path of iron', means railway) is France's national state-owned railway company. It operates 32,000 km (20,000 mi) of route and in 2017 had €33.5 billion of sales in 120 countries. The SNCF Group employs more than 260,000 people.

Lately, SNCF's IT strategy could be summarized as follows:

  • Have state-of-the-art, multi-cloud, application execution capabilities,
  • Work as a business partner with hand-picked software vendors to help them grow and learn from a real life use case.

This means re-thinking the strategy in many areas, including performance testing.

Julien Leclere
Julien Leclère is the Head of software factory at SNCF, with a range of 1500 applications.
The factory provides assets to manage the entire application lifecycle. Julien was looking for
a solution that could fit in the factory while still answering to a large variety of requirements.

To help with his task, Julien was assisted by Joaquin De Ibar Aguado who took the role of project manager on the migration to OctoPerf. Joaquin would help integrate OctoPerf in the factory as well as migrate a few key projects as a proof of concept.

En tant que Services Providers, LINKBYNET a compris les enjeux liés à la performance des apps. C’est dans ce cadre, que la société MAJIKAN a fait appel aux équipes Performance de LINKBYNET. Le besoin principal du client, au-delà des fonctionnalités de son apps, est la séduction du webinaute grâce à une optimisation de la qualité de l’expérience utilisateur pour son application Enjo.

En’jo, est une nouvelle apps qui met en relation des particuliers et des artisans pour répondre à un besoin de dépannage d’urgence. Comme toute apps avant son déploiement, En’jo a dû faire face à de nombreux challenges liés à la performance. En effet, une apps qui connait des lenteurs ou des problématiques de performances dés son lancement aura du mal à convaincre. De plus, le délai de retour sur investissement peut être rallongé considérablement et la communication pointant les défauts de l’apps réalisée par les mobinautes peut entraver l’image de marque du produit et de la société. Les mobinautes attendent des entreprises une démarche proactive, le challenge de MAJIKAN était donc de lancer son apps Enjo et que celle-ci soit opérationnelle immédiatement.
