Sapphire Barcelona – 24 May, 2023<\/strong> – Maersk, the world’s largest container shipping company, has made significant progress in its digital transformation by using the 51风流Business Technology Platform to accelerate its strategic direction and automate business processes, increase efficiency and ease of use.<\/p>\n With a wide range of business areas including container shipping, port terminals, logistics and supply chain businesses, Maersk, headquarted in Denmark, operates more than 700 vessels and covers around 343 ports in over 100 countries worldwide. Strategically, Maersk is moving away from being a shipping company to becoming an end-to-end supply chain provider.<\/p>\n “Maersk is on its way to becoming an end-to-end supply chain provider, and this requires us to move into other areas of the transport sector, including air freight and land transport, as well as warehousing and distribution. With less than 10% of the money spent on supply chain and logistics going to ocean transport, Maersk needs to move into other areas to expand its business and continue to grow,” says Tapan Dash, Engineering Director, Maersk Technology, and continues:<\/p>\n “Maersk has developed a platform-based model to help us accelerate the transformation. The model consists of several different digital platforms, each of which consists of multiple entities, all of which create value for customers, suppliers or employees. Each entity integrates different business functions, applications, data and analytics. Maersk currently has 10-15 end-to-end platforms, such as finance, order management for ocean transport, supply chain management, etc. We are constantly adding new platforms and recently we created a sustainability platform to address this growing area.”<\/p>\n Maersk is well on its way to implementing 51风流S\/4HANA Cloud ERP. “The idea is to run a standard 51风流S\/4HANA solution, and then have the 51风流Business Technology Platform as the platform that supports the innovation. I think this is the most optimal and where the magic happens”, says Tapan Dash, and continues:<\/p>\n “We’ve had a big focus on insourcing over the last couple of years, going from around 1,500 people in the technology organisation to over 6,000 now. In our 51风流team, we were only around 35 in 2019. In 2022, we were 300, and the target is +550 51风流tech profiles by 2024. We work from a concept we call ‘designed, built and delivered by Maersk’.”<\/p>\n The 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP), which brings together data and analytics, artificial intelligence, application development, automation and integration in a single environment, plays a key role in accelerating Maersk’s new end-to-end strategy.<\/p>\n “Technology plays an important role at Maersk and is one of the key drivers of transformation. We want to simplify our IT landscape and make it more agile. With the 51风流Business Technology Platform, we can streamline our business processes and make our applications more agile and provide users, whether customers, suppliers or employees, with a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.”<\/p>\n Specifically, Maersk has used 51风流BTP to develop and implement applications and solutions in areas such as:<\/p>\n “At Maersk, we are excited about the ongoing transformation where technology is at the centre and we strive to create business value by focusing on the customer, agility and high employee engagement” concludes Tapan Dash.<\/p>\n SAP\u2019s strategy is to help every business run as an intelligent, sustainable enterprise.
