Global farmed salmon producer Marine Harvest has invested in Infor’s Cloud Suite Food and Beverage solution to facilitate common platform and standardised processes on a global scale.

The application was initially deployed at Marine Harvest in Scotland, and the company now intends to deploy this solution across its facilities located in the US, Canada, Asia, and Europe by the end of next year.

Marine Harvest Group IT Applications manager Jørn Berg said: “As we continue to see substantial growth in our business, it is paramount that we have a solid and stable foundation from which to pursue new opportunities and embrace digitalisation.

“Marine Harvest IT has adopted a ‘Cloud First’ strategy for all business support applications and infrastructure support products.

“Several business-critical systems have already moved to the cloud and delivered impressive results, in terms of cost, licensing labour, flexibility, and security.”

“Moving Infor M3 to the cloud is part of the overarching digital vision of Marine Harvest, with many digital initiatives generating business value in measurable ways.

The deployment of the new Infor Cloud Suite Food and Beverage solution is said to be part of the company’s digitisation strategy, which will facilitate consistent reporting.

With some of its businesses already using Infor M3, Marine Harvest was keen to deploy the application globally in order to reduce complexity and establish a single platform to support future growth.
