Case Study: Containerships cuts IT costs and boosts agility with Microsoft Azure

Finnish shipping firm sharpens competitive edge with cloud IT

Containerships, a Finnish shipping and logistics company, faced the challenge of managing a complex and aging IT infrastructure across its global operations. This hindered its agility and ability to control costs in a highly competitive market. To innovate and provide new services, Containerships partnered with Microsoft Corporation to move its IT environment to the cloud using the Microsoft Azure platform.

With help from a partner, Microsoft's solution involved virtualizing servers and migrating applications to Azure, utilizing services like Azure RemoteApp and Azure Active Directory. This created a unified, cloud-based environment for all users. As a result, Containerships increased IT agility, enabled remote collaboration, and achieved an estimated 35 percent annual reduction in IT costs by eliminating physical infrastructure.
