    • Valorization of the final functionalities of the new version of Oracle EssBase (11) with consideration of support needs and evolution towards the Cloud for redevelopment
    • Redesign and securing of the ingestion logics, initially incompatible with the upgrade, as built with another software in the subsidiaries (CDR Prism)

    • A move of applications to the Cloud in 1 month, after a year of smooth new production
    • A customer team capable of ensuring its own functional evolutions
