	KETS - Migros
		In 1954, by the joint initiatives of the Swiss Migros Cooperatives Union and Istanbul Municipality, Migros was founded with the mission of obtaining food supplies and consumables from producers under the supervision of the municipal authorities and to serve these products to Istanbul inhabitants in hygienic conditions and at economic prices.
		Migros strengthened its leading position in the Turkish retailing sector pursuing a persistent policy of rapid growth at home and abroad.
		The experience and know-how of KETS that was transferred to Migros IT employees during the first implementation was enough to guide the project task force through the steps of designing, implementing, and processing stages of the project.

	Migros
		Primarily a retailer for foods and near-foods products, the cooperative Migros, with close to 600 retail outlets in Switzerland (but only four outside its domestic market), is facing stiffer competition, both from existing competitors (such as Coop) and new arrivals (such as hard discounters Lidi and Aldi).
		Riedener and Migros management have so far always had faith in Migros' position in the marketplace, built around its governance structure (the customers were also the owners, creating a close link between the retailer and the market) and its emphasis on never selling harmful products.
		Riedener knows that Migros benefited from a unique position--and he wants to make sure that Migros defends it from both new and old competitors.
