Global Maritime Engineering leader did not choose Oracle or SAP? Why?

“It’s not a question nowadays whether you go to the cloud, but you have to look for the right opportunity to do it. For us, it is the integration of all the different platforms we have. Getting the right information from our systems is crucial for Boskalis, and we need flexible and agile solutions to achieve our goals,” said Rien Krijger, ICT director, Boskalis. We were impressed by the innovative, disruptive technologies that Infor produces, which allow them to be ahead in the market. With Infor 10x, we now have the necessary tools for increased control, helping us to standardize processes and further strengthen our global market position.” – says Rien Krijger, CIO of Boskalis, Netherlands-based global leader in maritime engineering.
