Our credentialsGrand Est Region CARLA: Assistance to the contracting authorities for computer and information technologies
Grand Est Region – Bas-Rhin & Haut-Rhin departments
Local communities tasked with the maintenance and the equipment of secondary education faculties
The Grand Est region and the departments of Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin have the authority to the building, maintenance and management of public and agricultural junior high schools and high schools, within their respective territories.
The challenge
In the context of the laws for decentralization, orientation and planning for the refoundation of the school of Republic, local communities are tasked with the computer equipment and maintenance of the junior high schools and high schools.
In Alsace, this amounts to more than 40.000 computers, close to a thousand IT servers and hundreds of fibre optic links.
On this basis, the Grand Est region and the departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin lead ambitious programs for the modernisation of their establishments' internet accesses, network infrastructures and computer parks.

CARLA Division Officer
The CARLA division manages more than 20 structuring files on behalf of local communities. The impact and the number of projects that we manage, along with the wide number of contributors, compel us to a strict discipline and a great reactiveness. The files are diversified and complex thus satisfying. Moreover, I find it gratifying to work in the education field.
