CNIEL wishes to overhaul its INFOLABO tool based on a database containing the daily analysis results and the monthly results for payment of all French milk producers that went into production in 2006.

Infolabo is a computer system for disseminating the results of milk analyzes to the various actors in the sector. It has been developed to answer mainly to 3 objectives:

- facilitate the transfer of information, particularly between interprofessional laboratories and dairy companies,

- offer dairies and producers an equivalent level of service throughout the country in terms of consultation and receipt of test results,

- achieve economies of scale.

CNIEL wishes to overhaul its Infolabo tool, which is based on a database containing the results of daily analyzes and the monthly results for payment of all French milk producers that went into production in 2006.

Key points:

- supply of the database,

- a consultation service, accessible on the move that will allow any interprofessional actor (laboratory, dairy, producer) to consult his analysis results on the Internet; the Infolabo administrator to see all the results in place of a laboratory, a producer or a dairy, whatever it is,

- a reception service, which will allow producers and dairies to receive their analysis results according to different media (SMS, fax, email, FTP account),

- an export service, which will allow dairies or organizations to receive analytical results in the form of flat files,

- data recovery.

An essential point in the project to redesign the Infolabo tool.

It is essential to have access to a data history for all actors in the sector.

- logging and archiving of data and reports,

- interoperability.

Implement a system that is as open as possible (and totally secure), particularly to facilitate exchanges with other databases.
