Formats controllers monitoring
Part of the technological monitoring made, in terms of formats expertise, concerns the controllers: what are the minimum controls to perform, which tools to use, what series of tools to make the correct checks… All the works of this part of the technology monitoring must answer to these problematics.
A significant effort has been made on the organizational and technical description of operation of the PAC service. Thus, theformats expertise process was written in the form of listings and maps that we invite you to view.
