The complex, massive IT infrastructure of the Olympic Games is deployed by large teams of people into different environments every other year. Such a major task could potentially pose significant risks, but these can be offset through preserving and sharing the knowledge gained from previous Games.
For Torino2006, Atos Origin used 95% of the operational procedures and knowledge gained at Athens2004. Productivity increased by 30% from Salt Lake to Turin. Testing and integration for several critical IT systems were finished a whole year in advance. The security strategy for Turin was defined 1.5 years before the event.
Today’s business goal for systems implementations is to minimize cost and reduce risk through maximum knowledge capture, massive knowledge re-use and the advance of methodical, disciplined systems integration practices. Lessons learned in major events such as the Olympic Games means that Atos Origin – Major Events can apply unique insight to business enterprises and organizations across a range of industries. The benefits of investing in “retention” over “recovery” are compelling to any organization.
Atos Origin’s Knowledge Management (KM) methodology is a tri-fold approach: Knowledge mapping to critical knowledge recovery to knowledge retention. Each new challenge means subject matter experts are consulted, lessons learned are systematically cataloged and reviewed, and valuable data and information are passed on to the next-generation project managers – like passing the Olympic Torch.
