Global Innovation Through a Resilient Infrastructure Platform

A scalable infrastructure for a rapidly changing industry

As a technology-driven player in the maritime sector, Tidalis faced operational friction from fragmented custom solution testing, lengthy deployment cycles, and manual recovery procedures. These inefficiencies impacted innovation velocity and diverted engineering focus away from high-impact delivery. Tidalis required a modernized infrastructure approach to enable their teams to focus on delivering value to their clients instead of struggling with infrastructure issues.

The solution: strategic collaboration with SUE

SUE and Tidalis collaborated on the design and implementation of a modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform. Error-prone manual processes were replaced by intelligent automation that is repeatable, reliable, and scalable. Using Terraform scripts and integration with VMware Cloud Director, deployments became faster and more accurate.

The new system also simplified infrastructure recovery. By automating the most time-consuming tasks, Tidalis’s engineers could focus on more strategic work, like innovation and project delivery, instead of managing repetitive infrastructure problems.

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform: SUE operationalized infrastructure provisioning via a fully codified Terraform framework, establishing version-controlled, repeatable environments.
Faster deployments & precision: Automation reduced provisioning time from hours to minutes and eliminated configuration drift and human error.
Resilient recovery at scale: The new architecture simplified recovery workflows and enabled rapid restoration and high system reliability in the event of failures.

Maarten Tietge, Systems Engineering Manager, Tidalis

"Our experience with SUE has been excellent. Tidalis works with clients on a project basis, both locally and globally. The SUE team enables us to respond flexibly to the requirements of our projects. Their knowledge, open attitude, and strong communication skills are remarkable. They work seamlessly with both the Tidalis team and our clients."

The result

Delivering advanced solutions with speed and confidence

The changes provided Tidalis with a solid, reliable IT framework that supports their mission to deliver advanced maritime solutions with speed and confidence.

Thanks to its partnership with SUE, Tidalis redefined its infrastructure capabilities and unlocked agility, resilience, and innovation readiness within its global maritime operations. SUE and Tidalis continue to work together to reduce complexity and enable engineers to focus on business value rather than on resolving infrastructure issues.
