Case Study: A.P. Moller-Maersk achieves faster, more secure digital operations with Microsoft Azure

Global transport and logistics company goes digital to transform its operations

A.P. Moller-Maersk, the global transport and logistics leader based in Denmark, faced rising risk and limited growth from five outdated regional datacenters spread across Europe, Asia, and the United States. With data siloed across locations, outages and latency hurting productivity, and security concerns mounting, the company turned to Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Consulting Services to support its digital transformation.

Microsoft Azure helped Maersk migrate its five regional datacenters to the cloud in just six months, with some applications live within weeks and zero business impact. The move improved performance, scalability, disaster recovery, and security while lowering operational costs; Maersk also gained better visibility into data across the company and expects data-driven initiatives to save tens of millions of dollars annually and create new digital products and services.
