Case Study: Maersk Line achieves data‑driven shipping modernization and 10x faster governance with Informatica

Maersk Line Uses Data to Power a New Age of Shipping

Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping company, needed to modernize legacy systems and bring timely, high‑quality data from nearly 100 on‑prem sources and 300 GB/day of ship telematics into a cloud platform to power predictive analytics, improve data governance, and give business users self‑service access to insights.

Maersk built an Azure data lake and deployed Informatica solutions (Big Data Management, Data Quality, Multidomain MDM, Enterprise Data Catalog, Axon, Enterprise Data Preparation) with Databricks to integrate, verify, deduplicate, catalog and prepare data. The result: more accurate cargo tracking and operational optimizations, democratized analytics for business users, a 90% reduction in manual discovery time (≈10x faster processes), reduced costs and a strengthened competitive edge.
