Description
Senior Consultant - Quality plans, SLA, PM Methodologies, Risk Analysis
For a project with the European Commission we are looking for a Senior Consultant.
CONTEXT/INTRODUCTION
This specific contract is for the provision of consulting services for the DIGIT B1 unit. The unit deals with decision making process projects, in particular e-Greffe, CIS-Net, Vista, ECI, On Line Collection Software, Validation Tool for ECI, Argus and NOAH, and document management projects, in particular Hermes, ARES, Nomcom and HRS.
The e-Greffe application participates in the decisional process of the Commission, being the joint point of the procedures coming from different sources. This application mainly enables the submission of acts and their successive revisions in an electronic way.
The Argus project supports the European Commission in the establishment of a general rapid alert system in order to enhance the capacity of the institution to react quickly, efficiently and in a coordinated manner to multi-sectorial crisis that require actions at the European level.
The NOAH application is a tool supporting the implementation of the business continuity plans of the Commission.
The Vista application is a communication system internal to the commission enabling to publish all official documents and procedures.
The ECI project supports European citizens in taking the initiative of inviting the Commission to submit any appropriate proposal on matters where they consider that a legal act of the Union is required for the purpose of implementing the Treaties. The ECI project serves as a platform between the Commission, the organisers of citizens' initiatives and the citizens and allows the organisers to register their proposed citizens' initiative.
The goal of the CIS-Net project is to provide an in-house workspace for managing the interservice consultation procedure including the managing of the related documents and supporting the workflow defined by the business processes.
The e-Domec project roadmap towards the e-Commission has as objectives to ensure traceability of records & files (docs), along their life cycle, inside the institution, to improve transparency and increase efficiency.
Ares is a new e-Domec application serving as a general register for the Commission and offering via a Web Front End the following functional document management modules (registration, filing, security, single repository, workflow, e-signataire and search). Hermes Repository Services is a new e-DOMEC application which allows client application to integrate with the common repository of documents as opposed to Ares which is intended to be used only by end-users via a web browser.
Ares and Hermes Repository Services are built on top of Hermes/EDCS which consists of a set of services that allow applications to access the Documentum Repository, using DFC and DQL according to the security rules in place.
Nomcom is another application part of the e-Domec suite that manages the Filing Plan of the European Commission. Nomcom's interface is built using Documentum WDK and Webtop and is to be refactored using ExtJS and JAX-RS.
Some activities could have to be performed in the context of the ISA program, a European Commission program on interoperability solutions for European public administrations, within the scope of the above mentioned projects.
