Shanghai International Port Group picks Accenture IT to support expansion
Shanghai International Port Group has chosen Accenture to design an information technology strategy to support the expansion of SIPG at the world’s busiest port.
The work includes designing and building an information management platform that will use analytics to help the terminal operator improve the analysis of operations and support its decision-making processes.
SIPG is the exclusive operator of all of the public terminals in the Port of Shanghai. As part of a five-year strategy plan, SIPG will use Accenture to help define a new IT strategy to help it retain its market position. The technology strategy will support plans for geographic and services expansion.
The new information management platform will help improve SIPG’s analytical capabilities, strengthening its enterprise processes. The solution will enable deeper insight into customer service levels based on data analysis of real-time productivity information of vessels as they berth in Shanghai. Integration with video footage will allow customers to view real-time broadcast footage of their vessel via an iPad application.
