P&O Ferries sails into the future with Netcompany as Strategic Partner
P&O Ferries will continue its collaboration with Netcompany, the IT services consultancy who has been a strategic partner and advisor for their digital transformation journey since it was announced in 2022. Netcompany will implement its platform to build and safely deliver a minimum viable product (MVP), to provide an integration layer for both legacy applications and a new suite of business applications, which are currently being implemented.
This layered, step-change approach means that P&O Ferries can prove capability in the new applications suite first, before decommissioning the legacy applications and gives the company more control and opportunities for feedback at each phase. The PULSE platform will enable better process and workflow digitisation to improve business efficiency and in the long-term, to enable the use of new machine learning and AI-powered solutions.
Once the MVP has been successfully delivered for a specific ferry route, it will then be rolled out across the entirety of P&O Ferries' routes, until the company is ready to fully decommission the remaining legacy applications.
"We are delighted to expand our partnership with Netcompany as we enter a critical part of our digital transformation programme. Modernising our legacy systems is a key part of remaining competitive in the fast-changing ferries landscape. Netcompany has proven over the years that they prioritise service delivery at scale and have the innovative technology to enable current and future operations-sensitive initiatives," says Chloe Friend , CIO, P&O Ferries.
"We are proud to continue and our strategic partnership with P&O Ferries as a trusted advisor in delivering their digital transformation – to a high quality, long-term efficiency, and with minimum risk," says
Damien Venkatasamy , Partner in Netcompany. "The most exciting part of this legacy replacement programme is the opportunities it opens for P&O Ferries in the future. Using
