# Digitalizing Maritime Containers Shipping Companies: Impacts on Their Processes
## 3 Results and Discussion
These are applications that, given their optimal results on the Time performance dimension and good results on the Costs performance dimension, could be considered as the starting point for digitalizing a company. A company starting its \begin{table}

Table 12: Top applications on Flexibility performance dimension. digitalization with these could obtain a sense of what digitalization is and learn lessons of the implementation project, which will be value for going to the next step. The list has been obtained by sorting the results of the score of the devil's quadrant first by those performing better on Time, then on Costs, and finally on consolidated global score. The list is in Table 14.  
The majority of these are in Table 4 (List of applications with higher consolidated impact score); they are applications that are top performers in the consolidated impact score. The exceptions are \"7.04 Electronic logbook\" and \"4.01 VR for training\". These two do not score as high as others when looking at the consolidated score but can be good candidates for testing the benefits of digitalization in one company, given their ease of implementation. Summing up the analysis of the results, the main outcomes are as follows:  
* The processes with higher impacts are within the Operations process categories domain.
