Thenamaris and DCS have been working together seamlessly for a
long time.
As part of Thenamaris' strong desire for optimal digital
transformation of sensitive collaboration and partnership processes, DCS has
studied and proposed the M365 as it offers endless possibilities for effective
communication and collaboration.
In the context of the project implementation, basic principles
were:
Ø
Customized
instead of general: Apply the wider value of the M365 to the specific needs of
the company
Ø
Focus on what
matters: Depending on the needs of the business, install the appropriate M365
applications and enable specific features
The results achieved and delivered were:
ü
The
simplification of the way of cooperation and partnership through Cloud services
ü
Increase
productivity with the ability to work on the device of the user's choice -
anywhere and anytime
ü
Improving
collaboration with state-of-the-art tools for teamwork and teleconferencing
through Microsoft Teams
ü
Maximum security
by meeting the highest Microsoft privacy standards
ü
The
implementation of identity and access management policies (MFA, Single Sign-on,
Conditional Access) in the cloud
ü
The lowest cost
of implementation and operation and the greatest freedom for the IT team of the
company
Christos Georgiou, IT Manager of Thenamaris, commented on the
transition as follows:
"Thenamaris is a shipping company with a long-standing
belief in the value of IT as a strategic advantage in achieving its corporate
goals. The gradual transfer of applications that cover critical areas of its
activity in the M365 is another proof of the value that the company gives to
the utilization of all the modern technology trends. The M365 platform is
another strategic choice of the company for the transition of its IT
infrastructure to the next stage of maturity, and of course our cooperation
with DCS was a very important factor in the success of the project, thus
sealing a long-term successful cooperation between the two companies. "
Optimal utilization and lasting value of the M365 investment is
enhanced by outsourcing ongoing support to a dedicated service manager and
consulting support in the ongoing customization process so that employees as a
whole can harness the power of the M365.
Accessibility is a top priority for the company and the
implementation of the M365 project guarantees it.
