Murphy,
in
looking
to
the
future, set as
a
five-year
technology
strategy
for
the
fleet
the
development of fully redundant systems, where an authorized user could
access data anytime
anywhere. He saw driving costs for RCCL down as a result of consolidating and simplifying the
systems, which had been developed separately for Celebrity and Royal Caribbean International. In
this environment, they would move to a package environment using packages such as PeopleSoft's
and JD Edwards OneWorld as quickly as possible. Maintaining legacy systems and code was just not
economically viable. At the same time, directory servers would be added and a major focus on
security would take place as a result of the explosion of online systems. The new systems would be
made to the extent possible self -healing and self -tuning. Finally, intense efforts would be made to
consolidate servers as much as possible, to drive costs down and increase process efficiency. In short,
Murphy saw his vision was "to create an infrastructure that is flexible
to dynamic customer
requirements, provide common core services, and focus on centralization
[with ownership and
shoresidel where it meets customer and business requirements."
