Port Technology Strategy
Once a port technology baseline is established, an appropriate Smart Port Strategy can be developed. This will become a structured and systematic approach to improving technology capabilities across your port operation, over the short and medium term. As part of this process, we will ensure existing system investments are optimised and areas for quick and cost-effective solutions are resolved first.
Our international and independent approach to port operations and technology provides us with opportunities to develop client-specific strategies and visions, in line with their long-term ambitions.
A technology strategy may respond to client-demand, competitive pressure, regulatory obligation, or a need to improve operating costs and resilience. We will hold a series of workshops with the port and relevant stakeholders, to understand any local ambitions and operating constraints. The strategy may cover a wide range of recommendations, from improved data networks and disaster recovery, perhaps with a cloud strategy, or to digitalised processes for cargo and equipment tracking, through to automated invoicing or access control at the port boundary.
The range of necessary improvements will be refined into strategic priorities that support the wider business objectives and a technology roadmap can be developed to pull the elements into a plan for an investment strategy.
