The Association Hospitalière Sainte Marie is a non-profit hospital association that manages Etablissements de Santé Privés d’Intérêt Collectif (private public-interest hospitals).

- Workshops with IT and Procurement personnel, in order to formalize requirements, bring them up to date on best practices in the design and operation of computer rooms (IT technical infrastructures and buildings), and present different hosting methods currently on the market
- Summary of requirements expressed and presentation of conclusions from the comparative study, incorporating technical, organizational, budgetary, and security criteria
Client benefits
- A motivated team of IT and Procurement personnel, united around a shared hosting project
- The ability to select, thanks to APL’s methodology, neutrality, and expertise, the shared hosting scenario that best fits the association’s short- and medium-term needs: outsourcing, or the design of new IT facilities
