Industry Specific Services

Compliance, reviews, process optimisation or co-source application support based on industry best practices for system and IT environment

If your company needs to perform a maturity assessment or an independent review of your IT frameworks or IT processes and controls against international best practices, by being attentive to your requirements and understanding your issues and strategies, we can tailor-made the appropriate review to meet your business requirements.

The local and global landscape

Several industries in Mauritius and worldwide use specialised off-the-shelf software. For instance:

  • The hospitality industry uses Sun suites or Opera integrated with Micros symphony/Fidelio as well as material control;

  • The telecom service sector has witnessed very fast growth in the last few years. The horizon for the range of services has expanded multifolds. There are transactions which are very specific to the telecom sector like licensing, revenue streams and infrastructure sharing which are unique. The onset of new technologies like 5G, Internet over Thing (IoT) etc are giving rise to newer risks in addition to traditional ones. PwC’s telecom experience can help you identify and mitigate risk and provide tailor made solutions which are specific to industry;

  • Sugar industry uses NeoLibra and CEMIS;

  • Banking/Leasing industries will use banking/financial specific applications such as T24, Flexcube, and Oracle financials;

  • Insurance companies use applications such as Flexcube, GIIS, Premia, Oracle and others; and

  • Logistics/Manufacturing/Retail will use ERPs such as Microsoft D365, Oracle, and AS400.

Top issues you may be facing

  • ERPs are implemented with major loopholes in terms of processes and controls
  • Functionalities are not optimised
  • Be more reactive to business needs resulting in additional cost post-implementation
