As France's "generalist" public procurement agency and specific player in public procurement, UGAP assesses and approves technology and service providers for purchase by public entities. Public and governmental departments are exempt from any prior competitive bidding and advertising process when choosing solutions from the approved list of providers.
eccenca will provide public service organizations the foundational framework and services to create a shared view on their data. The knowledge graph platform solution eccenca Corporate Memory enables the comprehensive and transparent management of organizational data across all systems. It also provides visibility to related processes, rules constraints, capabilities and configurations in a single application.
"We are delighted, to be selected as one of only two official semantic data management solution providers for public service agencies across a list of more than 3000 companies", explains Antoine Janning, Director of Business Development at eccenca. "Public agencies struggle to collaborate because of disparate IT systems, different data models and different views on their data. Most data is stuck in silos, often redundant or even contradictory. French public agencies have realised that in times of need for rapid crisis management and cross-departmental collaboration, they must establish a cross-functional data management framework that allows fast data integration, lifting, processing and visualization.
