05 / Specific IT challenges

The sfide IT typical in Venice.

Each territory has different IT priorities, shaped by its own industrial fabric. In Venice, the requests we receive most frequently are:

  • Mission-critical port and airport systems — port TOS for container traffic, gate operations, airport management system integration (Save systems).
  • Industrial chemical compliance in Marghera — OT/IT segregation for ENI Versalis and petrochemical plants, Seveso III alignment, log immutability.
  • Seasonal tourism and hospitality backend — burst capacity per Carnevale, Biennale Arte/Architecture, Mostra del Cinema, Salone Nautico. Booking real-time, payment gateways multi-currency.
  • Academic research environments for Ca' Foscari and IUAV — departmental HPC clusters, GPUs for AI/ML, parallel storage, GARR network integration.
