The Port Authority of Gijón in Spain has moved Posidonia Management – its port management system – to the cloud.
This continued embracing of technology was achieved with the support of Prodevelop and AWS and follows the port’s earlier successful migration last year of Posidonia PCS.
“The digitalisation of ports is mandatory to face the new challenges ahead of us,” said Blanca Girón, digitalisation and IT manager at the Port of Gijón.
“After a year working with Posidonia PCS in the cloud and enjoying the advantages it brings us, the next logical step was to do it with Posidonia Management.”
Software as a Service (SaaS) such as cloud services is becoming increasingly important within organisations as it can give greater control over spending, does not require large investments in infrastructure and allows access from anywhere, provided there is an internet connection.
“Opting for the implementation of solutions under the SaaS model is a clear indication of the avant-garde character of an organisation, which is capable of understanding and interpreting where the market is heading,” said Miguel Montesinos, chief executive of Prodevelop.
“Hosting is carried out on AWS, which guarantees correct operation and high security standards, which are reinforced by the certifications that Prodevelop provides in this area, such as its ENS medium security certificate or ISO 20000 or 27001.”
