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

Global transport and logistics company goes digital to transform its operations

A.P. Moller-Maersk, the global transport and logistics leader based in Copenhagen, needed to modernize outdated IT infrastructure, break down data silos across five regional datacenters, improve security, and address performance and capacity limits. The company partnered with Microsoft Corporation, using Azure along with Microsoft consulting and advisory services, as it sought a faster, lower-risk path to digital transformation.

Microsoft Corporation helped A.P. Moller-Maersk migrate the five datacenters to Azure in just six months, with some applications moved in weeks and no business impact during the transition. The move improved performance, scalability, disaster recovery, and security, while lowering operational costs and enabling better visibility into data; Maersk also expects the new data-driven capabilities to save tens of millions of dollars annually and support new digital products and revenue streams.
