# Digitalizing Maritime Containers Shipping Companies: Impacts on Their Processes
## 3 Results and Discussion
What these 15 applications from Table 5 have in common is that they are the lowest when compared with the 46 applications; this should not prevent companies from the implementation of any of them, it is just that they need to know these have more costs or require more time for their deployment and for benefits realization. Actually, there are two of them that are service platforms for the rest: \"6.01 Cloud/Edge platform\" and \"7.01 Enhanced cybersecurity\". The analysis can be taken to a level below the ones conducted so far by looking at the results obtained in each performance dimension. When looking at the list of top applications on time performance dimension (Table 6), there is one application that is top when looking at time performance but is not only not included in the top list for consolidated impact but is in the bottom side, so it is included in Table 5: it is \"3.04 ISPS security levels\". The reason is that this application does not increase substantially the flexibility or the quality of the affected processes compared with the rest of the 46 applications. \begin{table}

Table 5: List of applications with lower consolidated impact score. One application is found in the opposite situation: being in the list of top performers when looking at the consolidated (Table 4); it is at the bottom side when looking at the time performance dimension (Table 7). This is the case of \"2.14 Optimizing ship's operations via AI analysis of operational information\". This application scores 6/8 in the consolidated impact score given it is outstanding when compared to others in the Flexibility and Quality provided to the affected processes, and its availability in the current market makes it almost optimal when looking at Costs. Moving to Costs, two applications are at the top for this performance dimension (Table 8) and at the bottom when looking at the consolidated score (Table 5). These are \"3.04 ISPS security levels\" and \"5.02 Optimization of equipment usage\".
