“Smart procurement and management of IT as a real business enabler underpins British Airways operational strategy”
What ever the economic climate, airlines battle numerous financial and business pressures; but, through strategic acquisition and application of technology, they can create cost and performance improvement that will underpin survival. British Airways is a leader in its innovative use of IT.
SCC assisted British Airways with a single global technology refresh, a five year long project, that aimed to underpin its strategy to web enable its business, encouraging customers to buy and self service online. The IT Director explains: "A major partner in helping British Airways reduce cost and simplify the desktop, creating a genuine win-win, as we strive to both save money and deliver better customer and employee service. This is a testament to the effective partnership that SCC and British Airways have built."
British Airways has reduced technology operating costs by over 30 per cent and made improvements in performance quality that it estimates to top 50 per cent. Today, British Airways has a simplified and efficient desktop capability that is able to deliver its industry leading customer and employee internet based self service programmes.
“A major partner in helping us to cut costs and simplify the desktop, whilst delivering improved customer and employee service. This is testament to the effective partnership we have built. ”IT Director
