Striving to enable effective information management and collaboration between its thousands of global members spanning 4 continents and 8 countries, the E&P Information Management Association (EPIM) not only needed to develop a scalable solution to address current regulatory and cultural requirements, but also needed to ensure flexibility to adapt and innovate well into the future. Choosing Logica and OpenText to manage their Enterprise Information Management needs, EPIM delivers on that promise.
