Navis collaborated with Cosco Shipping Ports Limited (CSP) to create a joint Center of Excellence (CoE). The two companies launched the centre in September 2018, to provide resources for N4 implementation projects across Cosco Shipping Ports’ operation.
The Center of Excellence aims at enabling CSP to implement the projects themselves, reducing the time to deliver services. The CoE will also be able to transfer tasks that are currently executed onsite in projects, to be performed remotely.
Key areas of the CoE include:
- Content Governance – define and use of a CSP standard delivery methodology and tools. This will be based on Navis’ methodology and adapted to support CSP strategy;
- Platform Management – deploy N4 as the sole standard TOS across the CSP portfolio and fully automate business process testing of software releases against CSP requirements;
- IT Landscape – define the CSP IT landscape and explore the use of multi facility setup for small terminals without on-premise hardware
Knowledge and Skills Management – training based on Navis STACK Academy with CSP curriculum and certification to build up a team of N4 experts within CSP; - Change Management – support CSP in the change to Navis as the singular TOS solution. Support will also oversee organizational and operational change management;
Earlier this year, CSP entered into an agreement with Navis to use N4 across its network of berths and ports. The CoE aims to deliver a number of projects, regardless of terminal type.
