The two-day event (November 26-27) focused on the recent advancements and trends in the maritime technology. Fortune Technologies, a Microsoft Business Solutions Gold Partner, familiarized the visitors with the specialized tailor-made solutions it provides to companies worldwide over the past ten years, leading the way to the modern Digital Ship.

“We believe it is very important to seize every opportunity to present our products and services to the market on one hand and on the other to keep exploring developments and partnerships in order to move forward offering the best solution to each client,” Managing Director George Frydas said about the company’s participation in the forum.

On behalf of Microsoft Dynamics Partner Account Manager Ioannis Panagiotou referred to the two key trends in maritime IT at the moment- the cloud all over the place and mobility- as well as the contribution of the future-oriented Fortune Technologies- Microsoft collaboration with the NAV2013. The platform which is at the forefront of the industry globally today is continuously evolving.

“Microsoft brings into this partnership top technology. Fortune Technologies adds the knowhow to navigate a vertical market. That’s how we proceed to optimize the results for our customers. Shipping companies find in our partnership the dynamism they are looking for,” Panagiotou said.

“The NAV2013 can be adjusted to fit the needs of both shipping giants as well as small companies managing two or three vessels alike,” Frydas stressed, adding that one of the most significant elements in the partnership between the two companies is that Fortune Technologies’ clients are and will be getting each pioneering product Microsoft develops for the market.
