Green Cargo Adopts OutSystems To Drive Innovation And Incremental Cloud Migration

When Ingo Paas took over as Green Cargo’s new CIO, the company was about to rip and replace its mainframe logistics system and SAP ERP. Realizing that this would cost millions and place digital innovation on hold for seven years, Ingo made a counter-proposal. Find new ways to access data in the legacy systems and shift digital innovation to the Cloud.

With a combination of Microsoft Azure and OutSystems, Green Cargo has rediscovered its innovation mojo, delivering digital innovation up to ten times faster with a growing team of in-house developers.

A Legacy Escape Plan. Let’s Start with Why?

Green Cargo provides efficient and sustainable rail logistics across Scandinavia and Europe. Owned by the Swedish State, the company transported 10.5 billion tonne-kilometers of freight in 2019. Crucially, the company’s 400 electric trains have 300 times less environmental impact compared to road haulage.
