The change in the market trends of the marine and maritime management software has been observed to greatly favor the cloud solutions. Historically, this industry has been mostly using on-premises software because the operations of these organizations are very important and require the implementation of stable, secure, and reliable systems. However, due to the factor that cloud is more scalable, more flexible, and less costly as compared to traditional hosting, more firms within the marine industry are adopting cloud-based solutions. These are easier to integrate with other systems, allow real time access of data from any location and are easier to manage and maintain as opposed to the conventional on premise storage systems. Also, cloud-based software can address the challenges of remote work, which has gained significance in the light of the current situation such as COVID-19. Due to the increasing need for digital transformation across various industries which also includes the maritime industry, the use of cloud-based maritime management software is expected to rise in the future due to its efficiency in enhancing the performance, lowering costs, and increasing the adaptability of business processes in the field of marine activities.
