Case Study: Matson achieves 50% IT cost savings and superior performance and reliability with Amazon Web Services

Matson Modernizes Shipping by Going All-In on AWS Cloud

Matson, a 135‑year‑old U.S. Pacific shipping leader with 22 vessels and about 1,500 employees, needed to modernize its enterprise applications and IT infrastructure to deliver world‑class reliability, secure real‑time tracking, and better performance for customers and operations. The company’s challenge was to move off legacy on‑premises data centers while enabling faster analytics and nonstop visibility across vessels, terminals, and logistics networks.

Matson migrated 100% of its mission‑critical applications to the AWS Cloud and closed four data centers, gaining improved performance, reliability, and security while cutting IT infrastructure costs by at least 50%. The cloud migration has enabled precise asset and shipment tracking, faster analytics, and freed IT to focus on business innovation.
