TONY FERGUSON

Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program Applauds IT Partner.

Five years ago a Western Sydney pharmacist by the name of Tony Ferguson developed a weight loss program based on sound nutritional science using healthy, balanced and varied meal replacement products. The combination of tasty foods and an easy to maintain schedule quickly proved a winner, encouraging more than 60,000 Australians to adopt the program.

Now available in 220 stores the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program is the nation’s leading pharmacy weight loss brand. The program has also gained international success in New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, where it is sold through more than 1600 pharmacies.

It’s a challenge that can be particularly noticeable within the information technology (IT) department, where the difference between deployment of office productivity applications or an enterprise solution can be daunting.
