The largest operator in the Port of Rauma, Oy Rauma Stevedoring Ltd., is in the
process of revamping its entire IT system. This necessitated the building of a real
time inventory management system, which in turn required the renewal of the port
area network. A partner specializing in port solutions was brought in to implement
a Cisco Systems technology based WLAN solution. With the solution, Rauma
Stevedoring renews its hardware, improves its processes and obtains a system
supporting future functionality.

Rauma Stevedoring took the strategic decision to renew its old operative IT system. The new
system encompasses all information management of import and export processes, from the
tender stage to vessel loading. This includes a new system for real time inventory management,
which enables improving operative processes, development of services and renewal of hardware
and applications which have reached the end of their lifecycles.

”We were looking for a solution which could utilize any application. On the other hand, we were
looking for a solution, with which we would not have to worry about work station characteristics
vis a vis applications. In addition, the new solution had to meet today’s tough data security
demands”, says Rauma Stevedoring IT manager Hannu Ketola.
