theICEway is Otalio’s official infrastructure implementation partner

by Asa Sargeant | August 10, 2022 | General News & Events, Cruise Industry News | 0 Comments

We are delighted to announce that theICEway is Otalio’s official infrastructure implementation partner. The move has already begun and both view the development as an exciting one.

Most Ship Property Management Systems (SPMS) now favour web and cloud technology. As the growth of cloud computing continues, so Otalio continues to expand functionality towards new service areas such as passenger-facing features on their mobile devices. Digital transformation is ever-evolving which means the volume of scalable opportunities required to meet the increasing demands of maximising passenger satisfaction is huge.

Otalio has proven to be well up to the task of developing new and innovative technology. Delivering and managing the robust infrastructure required to keep all that innovation stable is a different matter that requires a specialist partner, however. That is where theICEway steps in, having supplied IT solutions to the cruise industry for over 15 years.

theICEway takes responsibility and ownership of the infrastructure deployments and builds. We also handle ongoing management, leaving Otalio free to focus on what they do best.

Ian Richardson, co-founder and CEO of theICEway, sees this as a ‘fantastic opportunity’. “Our system implementation know-how combined with Otalio’s unparalleled technology skills means that cruise companies can be fully confident when looking to upscale their existing IT infrastructure.”

Otalio’s co-founder and Managing Director, Tony Heuer, is equally thrilled with the move. “We’ve worked with theICEway on numerous tech projects over the years. There was always a good fit between our teams and we very much welcome the opportunity to work on many more implementation projects with them in the future. The cruise industry is already bouncing back and together, Otalio and theICEway can help making the ships roll-out a success across any fleet.”
