MEGA Assists in the Strategic Alignment of OCP Information System

 

Reasons for the project

“The information system needs upgrading to be made more flexible, scalable and capable of meeting the requirements of businesses that are growing faster and faster,” explains Christel Loitron, CIO at OCP. Streamlining the system will reduce the number of applications to maintain, technologies to learn, and interfaces. In addition, an overhaul of business computing will open up the information system to suppliers - by giving them protected access - and to pharmacies, so that they can place their orders online.
