Case Study: SNCF Réseau achieves centralized, data-driven project planning and improved collaboration with Sciforma

SNCF Réseau Sharing Reliable Data And Best Practices To Optimize Management Of France’s Rail Network

SNCF Réseau, the state-owned operator of France’s rail infrastructure, needed to regain control of a rapidly expanding investment and maintenance portfolio. Project planning was fragmented across Excel, MS Project, Primavera and an ERP-tied Sciforma instance, which undermined data quality, visibility and consistent scheduling for thousands of projects and frequent operational shifts.

SNCF Réseau reconfigured Sciforma as a connected enterprise PPM tool integrated with a central Data Repository, introduced standardized processes, templates and approval workflows, and ran targeted change management. The result: a 40% increase in plans produced in three years, ~30% reduction in project administration time, consolidation of planning and automated reporting (cutting schedule-consolidation from over a month to two hours), plus improved transparency, cross-team collaboration and C‑level support.
