OceanaGold is a gold mining company with approximately 750 employees across offices and mines in New Zealand, Australia, and the Philippines. Some of the key IT challenges they face include the remoteness of many users and legacy applications, as well as a desire for more efficient processes and common IT systems. To address these challenges, OceanaGold has undertaken projects to consolidate over 30 applications into new cloud-based systems for health and safety and human resources. They have also improved communication infrastructure with solutions like Cisco VoIP and Microsoft Lync, and business intelligence with IBM Cognos.
