French-Dutch airline group, Air France-KLM, has announced its partnership with global professional services company, Accenture, to help transition its existing digital applications to the cloud.<\/p>\n
The multi-year initiative aims to enhance the airline group\u2019s operational functions across the organisation, including passenger transport, cargo services, and aircraft maintenance, as well as provide it with increased agility.<\/p>\n
Together with Accenture, Air France-KLM has defined a common operating model with a governance process, allowing Accenture to co-lead the initiative. Together they have established a cloud migration factory that uses predefined and reusable templates, which enables simultaneous migration and transformation of the group\u2019s existing applications in the cloud.<\/p>\n
With the new cloud infrastructure, Air France-KLM will also be able to access information in real time, allowing for more data-driven decision making, stronger collaborations, and improving business resilience and growth opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy leveraging cloud and AI, we can build more flexible and efficient operations that enhance agility and performance across the organisation,\u201d said Pierre-Olivier Bandet, executive vice president of information systems at Air France-KLM.<\/p>\n
This approach has already had a high success rate, with the deployment of 350 applications, thereby fulfilling an ambitious delivery roadmap and allowing for a faster time-to-market of the applications. Recently, the infrastructure was tested in France and the Netherlands via sales campaigns and its scalability provided quick access to a range of resources.<\/p>\n
Sabine Bechelani, managing director for travel and client account lead at Accenture, said: \u201cThis collaboration underscores our ability to help clients establish the digital core needed to successfully compete in the operationally complex and highly competitive market of air travel. As a result, we are enabling our clients to thrive and innovate with speed, efficiency and access to information.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bandet added: \u201cOur work with Accenture will help us unlock new opportunities to streamline processes, optimise decision-making, and leverage data to continuously improve the travel experience for millions of customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
