6. Consequenses and conclusion

All this could have taken place with cooperation between mixed team (composed of people with complementary skills and complementary jobs), that implies sharing information, experiments,... The "territory logic for information" (the up-to-date information is my property, I produce it, I give it to who can have it and ask for it) is replaced by the "sharing information logic" (I send the information to the ones who need it, or I publish in a structured place where it can easily be found). The modification of traditional data and information flows involves a modification of the balance of power.

The introduction of the tools catalyzed the conscience of basic concepts like reference document, duplicated information, access rights, views on data,...

This should help everyone to better understand the daily work : What information do I produce ? What do I need to produce it ? Where can I find what I need ? Who needs waht I produce ? This instigate people to share information and to publish documents.

The Pierre Mendès France University has chosen to build a complete intranet by coordinating previously realized projects (intranets, e-learning, LDAP bases) with a set of new projects. This intranet will interact with the projects of the other universities of the academic district to provide services to students, teachers and staff..

The users were involved in all the phasis of the project to encourage them to use the new tools, to avoid the reject of a new way of working and to help the project to stay realistic and efficient.
