Case study
PiLeJe
Industry
Pharmacy
“PiLeJe chose a solution based on Hewlett Packard Enterprise products due
to several factors, the most significant one being the confidence we have in
our partner, Iliane, with whom we have been working since 2010.”
– Alexandre Dodier, IT operations manager, PiLeJe Group
The group has increased the size of its
premises in Paris and St-Laurent-des-Autels
in Anjou. The latter houses an order
preparation and dispatch platform, a call
centre and all the group’s support services.
This site is the heart of the IT system.
Expansion of its performance would enable
PiLeJe to support any company developments.
In 2013, PiLeJe’s global IT infrastructure
came to the end of its warranty. Across the
company, non-standardised systems were
used over the various sites. “The aim,”
highlights Alexandre Dodier, IT operations
manager for the PiLeJe Group, “is to
standardise our tools including servers
and storage, and to place our users at
the heart of the IT system.”
In other words, to optimise processing
time for the company’s integrated
management software package and
save time in regards to the availability of
access to statistical data. Redesigning the
infrastructure was therefore essential.
Solution
HPE virtualised servers and
storage arrays
After issuing an invitation to tender, to
virtualisation and storage specialists,
PiLeJe chose the solution based on
Hewlett Packard Enterprise products
as a result of several factors. The first
was that the technical proposal proved
to be flexible and scalable over the next
five years, without having to compromise
any other part of the infrastructure.
The second concerned the stability of
products installed. “But the most important
thing was the confidence that we have in
our partner, Iliane, with whom we have been
working since 2010,” states Dodier.
For four years, PiLeJe has been using
infrastructure based on HPE products -
stable from the outset, and has also evolved
over the years. Furthermore, Iliane has
always been capable of dealing with any
issues, whether these relate to modification,
maintenance or problem-solving.
