Versiant announces enhanced Data-Analytics-as-a-Service (DAaaS) offering focused on the transportation supply chain, and partnership with North Carolina Ports.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Versiant Corporation, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based and North American-focused technology services provider, announced today that it is expanding its relationship with North Carolina Ports to deliver a comprehensive data-analytics-as-a-service (DAaaS) solution. This solution eliminates the time-consuming, manual process of aggregating information from across North Carolina Ports' multiple business systems and Morehead City and Wilmington terminals.

With DAaaS, raw data is captured in a unified location and transformed into actionable information that promotes understanding and strategic decision, using artificial intelligence. This approach delivers improved, real-time visibility into its data and operations, allowing the terminal to better plan its yards, improve turn time, minimize dwell time, and enhance other business-enabling metrics.

Versiant's DAaaS builds upon Versiant's deep-rooted data analytics experience. Powered largely by Microsoft Cloud Technologies, the solution transforms how big data is organized, analyzed, and consumed—without costly software license fees or hefty infrastructure needs. 

"We are excited by the potential Versiant's DAaaS solution holds for our organization," said Bill Corcoran, chief information officer, North Carolina Ports. "The ability to efficiently and accurately integrate data from disparate systems will provide improved insight into our KPIs, operational metrics, and trends to improve productivity, control costs, and enhance agility.

"DAaaS will provide North Carolina Ports with greater agility, standardized access, and improved analytics and reporting capabilities," said Ed Reade, CEO and Founding Partner, Versiant Corporation. "North Carolina Ports will gain valuable insight into its KPIs and critical business metrics to enable more effective and informed decisions that improve organizational efficiency and performance, drive business strategy, and promote a competitive edge." 

Versiant DAaaS will deliver a series of benefits to North Carolina Ports, including:

Eased data management.
