Prva ustanova ima oko 150 zaposlenika, u njoj se nalaze tvornica za proizvodnju zvučnika , laboratorij za dizajn i svi admnistrativni uredi. ustanova u Montpellier je manja. U njoj se nalazi samo 50 radnika ,te se u njoj proizvode pojačala.
The information system has had difficulty keeping up with the company's growth, so they are now determined to completely redefine it to meet various goals established by management:
modern, easily scalable infrastructure;
reducing cost of software licenses thanks to use of Open Source software;
installation of an e-commerce website, possibly B2B (business to business, i.e. linking of information systems between different companies, such as a supplier and its clients);
significant improvement in security to better protect trade secrets related to new products.
The entire information system will be overhauled with these goals in mind.
