"Our partnership with Capgemini and the integration with SAP for Utilities is an integral part of Vidus' international business growth and expansion. Through our combined resources we can deliver high-quality, high-value solutions to leading service delivery and utility organizations, globally, to enable them to meet or exceed the increasing demands of their customers."

Vidus is also enabling E.ON Hungaria Rt. to manage its 1,500 people strong mobile workforce in real time with the aim of meeting two hour appointment windows in accordance with government service level agreements, while anticipating a productivity gain of more than 30% and a 5% overall reduction in costs.
