The Casino Group's IT production is hosted at two sites: “R” and “NoSICA”. In 2012, Casino commissioned APL to evaluate the feasibility of extending site R's service life a further 5 years. The data center had been in use for 20 years, and some of its hardware was becoming obsolete.
Upon completion of the study, APL's budgetary evaluations and recommendations were approved by Casino, which chose APL to manage the upgrades.
