Porte and her successor, Sylvain Maunier, are
highly satisfied with the solution in place. Porte
says: "The project came in within the initial cost
estimate, and we now have a tailormade technical
solution and infrastructure." Maunier points to
the robust and reliable nature of the solution:
"No aspects of the infrastructure have required
any major changes since its design, and there has
only been one outage. The technical potential of
the equipment installed also gives us
infrastructure upgradeability, particularly to
integrate new industrial hardware or software."

The two directors of IT services say that the
concepts of robustness, reliability and security
are certainly the key factors in the positive
impact on the business. "Before, our
pharmaceutical production activities did not
benefit from an IT system, and now our IT and
backup solutions are truly robust," explains
Porte. Maunier agrees: "Now, we have a system
that ensures the availability of our data." This
reliability is also felt by users: "Our users have
confidence in the IT system; they know that
outages are rare and will not have an impact on
the productivity of the site," Maunier says.

He adds that the complete solution has had a
positive impact on the IT team, particularly in
terms of the new technologies that team
members had to master and become familiar
with. As a part of ongoing improvements to the
infrastructure, Maunier is planning to optimize
the WiFi network in production areas, with a
particular eye to improving signal stability,
power delivered, together with the physical
location and orientation of base stations. He is
also continuing on-site deployment of the
"Manufacturing Executing System," a
professional software package, in order to
automate production operations, make
processes more robust, and reduce cycle time
by cutting down the review time for
manufacturing jobs. This solution will also
provide automation of double controls and
quality checks which are currently performed
by humans. There are also plans to move the
Marcy L'Etoile site to Gerland within the next
two years.
