Commenting on the implementation, MGT CEO Michael Fratianni said that the system roll-out was a flawless success in terms of system performance, stability and user acceptance.
“MGT’s migration to N4 demonstrates our focus on providing customers with the highest level of service. This is one of a series of technical and operational implementations in the planning or execution stages,” Fratianni said.
The new system replaced the existing Navis’ legacy software SPARCS and an internally developed data host system at MGT.
Integrating all systems onto a single platform enables N4 customers to run their operations from one terminal to multiple terminals, spread across several geographic locations.
