The largest IT project in Germany in the last 2 years.

Background

The company’s operators use about 5.5 thousand internal applications. They monitor the loading of cargo on ships, provide commercial analysis, and assess financial performance. These applications are isolated and have different interfaces.

Business Challenge

Create a new application development solution with a single interface.

Solution

A team of architects reviewed the current system and business processes. It was decided to use one set of front-end libraries when developing new applications. So they can use the same UI.

The new solution can significantly reduce development costs, because it allows creating a large number of applications, keeping them in the same style and using the same architectural approaches.

Result

About 20% of applications are already using the new UI. The rest should switch to it within 2 years.
