Ocean Park Corp, operator of Hong Kong's marine-themed amusement park, plans to overhaul its ageing information technology system as part of an expansion programme.
Chief executive Tom Mehrmann said an IT plan was being drawn up to support the earlier announced redevelopment of the 31-year-old park, which expects to receive twice as many mainland and overseas visitors as it does locals in a decade.
Cisco Services Asia Pacific, the regional IT services arm of Cisco Systems, the world's largest networking equipment maker, was contracted for an undisclosed amount to map out and lead a four-year IT infrastructure revamp.
It has also been helping the park execute its larger Master Redevelopment Project.
'We need to evolve and that is the importance of having a blueprint for new IT infrastructure,' Mr Mehrmann said.
'To fulfil our vision of transforming into a next-generation theme park, technology is crucial as it allows us to process all the diverse information from our different operational units into cohesive and realistic business decisions.'
