Since 2007, our IT experts have worked across a wide range of different industries. Our software testing team at eTestware have proven particularly adept within insurance and cruise. The cyber security professionals at CRIBB have excelled within healthcare and maritime. The people from ICE had extensive travel experience and then bolstered that by mastering cruise industry IT infrastructure. Eagle-eyed readers will notice that one specific sector appears throughout here. We will come to that. All of these services are provided under the IT Service Pillars delivered by theICEway. Here we revisit these pillars, which now count another amongst their ranks.

Multi-Industry Experience Plus A Renowned Specialism In Cruise
As promised, we’ll now look more closely at the specific sector specialism hinted at in the introduction. Yes, our tech teams have delivered results in numerous industries ranging from insurance to healthcare. We’re also proud to count many retail and travel specialists within our organisation. But cruise is where we have particularly shone, continuing to do so to this day. Indeed, it was recently revealed that we’re helping Cruise Saudi to develop Saudi Arabia’s very first cruise line. Why cruise, we hear you ask? It may be because we love a challenge.
It is fair to say that cruise lines face more challenges than organisations operating in other industries. This is due to the fact that there are so many moving parts to deal with. Technology projects for cruise require an understanding of multiple IT systems and platforms. Many of these have been specifically designed with cruise in mind. It is therefore critical to have a deep understanding of them. Even more important is to know the cruise industry itself. Things can happen at the drop of a hat and so agility is key for any teams involved.
IT Service Pillars From TheICEway
75% of these service pillars have helped to establish our ecosystem of companies as a key IT resource for cruise and other industries. We’re optimistic that the new one – so new we do not yet have any content produced! – will further cement that position.
