RCS&RDS signs deal with Akela

The development of the communications market and its upcoming deregulation have made a spectacular impact on the RCS&RDS Group, one of the top players in the domestic IT&C industry: development of operations and exponential network growth. Therefore, the company’s computerisation needs became more pressing, as it has to co-ordinate the ties with its several hundred thousand clients and the thousands of employees. Following an about three-month analysis, the RCS&RDS Group decided to conclude a partnership with IT solutions developer Akela Informatique, in order to have an integrated enterprise management system installed. The value of the contract between the two entities is confidential, the RCS&RDS and Akela officials say. This project will allow managing the activity of the entire RCS&RDS Group by a single ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution. The goal both companies had in mind for this project was replacing the old applications used at RCS&RDS with an integrated system based on Oracle technology to allow for permanent communication between the various departments of the group, as well as between branches, customer relations offices and the headquarters.
