Empowering Maritime Communication Through Data-Driven Innovation

Aligned to Sedna's mission, Nordic IT has long recognised email's essential role as a network that underpins the complexity of maritime. "By bringing Nordic IT into our organisation, we're combining decades of maritime expertise with next-generation technology. This will further our ability to transform email into an intelligent platform tailor made for the industry," adds Dobie.
