An intranet solution for frontline workers

The full-scale digital transformation project will provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all top-down and peer-to-peer communication. A mobile-first approach and Office 365 integrations will play a critical role in the project. Access to best-in-class tools and state-of-the-art technology will empower P&O Ferries’ workforce, connecting them to the organization around the clock.
