Teledata Marine Solutions (TMS) will launch the world’s first maritime IT consulting service and the world’s first Holistic Maritime Training (HMT) platform in Hong Kong on 4 September 2009. After establishing itself as a leading software solution provider in the maritime business, the launch of these two verticals completes TMS’ positioning of “Maritime Leadership – All The Way”. Himanshu Joshi, the President of Teledata Marine Systems, explains the genesis of this pioneering maritime IT consulting service, “It is proven research that analysis across costs, tangible benefits and intangible benefits towards the deployment of IT services arithmetically generates ROCI at 9% per annum over a period of 6 years in a medium to large maritime enterprise. Taking into account the inherent cyclical behaviour of shipping revenues, the use of IT to ensure effective cost-management becomes all the more important. TMS, with its years of experience in the maritime business, understands the maritime market dynamics best. Coupled with its wealth of expertise in the maritime domain and IT product management, the company is best suited to provide end-to-end maritime IT consulting and off-shoring services to help maritime companies lower costs and maintain profitability through boom-bust cycles.” TMS Consulting’s wide-ranging suite of services is summarized in the table that follows:

TMS’ HMT platform was conceived in response to the two pressing needs of today’s maritime enterprises: the need for consolidation of myriad and disparate professional and safety courses on ships and ashore and the need to align training to performance bench-marking in the organization. TMS’ HMT platform brings in a set of unique features:

A dedicated version for users on ships.

Advanced use of technology – a quantum leap from the days of videos

and powerpoints.

Exclusive offline and online access to course library by fleet personnel.

Online, anytime-anywhere access available to ships and fleet personnel on leave or ashore.

Huge cost-savings in the logistics of current training arrangements.

Intelligent training management or related MIS.

Quick and seamless integration with company-specific and custom-built

training programs. Companies will be able to choose from a large library of more than 500 courses for their ships and shore set-ups. A partial list of the modules in the library is presented in the table below:

Fittingly, Hong Kong, as an international maritime hub, was chosen to hold this launch. Himanshu adds, “The choice of Hong Kong as our launch location also reflects our Asia-Pacific focus as well as our readiness to answer growing Chinese maritime demand.”
