Gist Limited Improves Content Management and Reduces IT Costs

Overview

Gist, a leading supply chain specialist, moves £10 (US$19.9 billion) billion of merchandise every year. Communication is, therefore, an essential business tool at Gist, helping to ensure the company gets the right things to the right place at the right time. With key business processes relying on effective internal communication, it became clear to Gist that the existing intranet and the Web communications program needed a complete overhaul. Gist would then look to increase employees' use of the intranet and reduce their reliance on email and shared drives as their main forms of communication. The company selected Oracle Universal Content Management, previously known as Stellent Universal Content Management, to help it more effectively and efficiently share information across the organization.
