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 to architect and implement a modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform, replacing error-prone manual processes with intelligent automation that is repeatable, reliable, and scalable. Using Terraform scripting and integrating VMware Cloud Director, this automation made deployments 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.
- Accelerated 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, enabling rapid restoration and system reliability under failure scenarios.
"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."
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.
Through its partnership with SUE, Tidalis redefined its infrastructure capabilities, unlocking agility, resilience, and innovation readiness across its global maritime operations. SUE and Tidalis continue working together, reducing complexity and empowering engineers to focus on delivering business value, rather than fighting infrastructure.
