Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed a multi-year deal with French airline Air France-KLM to migrate its workloads to the cloud. This new partnership will involve migrating critical systems and core business data to the cloud surrounding flight operations, passenger information, aircraft maintenance, and the airline's e-commerce platforms.
“In a rapidly evolving industry, we are committed to becoming a champion of air transport in Europe, while fulfilling our role as a frontrunner of sustainable aviation," said Pierre-Olivier Bandet, EVP & group CIO of Air France-KLM Group. "We are pleased to open a new and exciting chapter with our long-time partner, TCS, to make the most out of our data and new technologies to become even more data-centric and agile to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.”
Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, head of Europe at TCS, added: “The partnership with Air France-KLM is one of TCS’ longest relationships in Europe. With KLM being our first customer in the Netherlands, the relationship between TCS and Air France-KLM is built on countless joint journeys, spanning multiple decades, opportunities, and challenges.
"While using technology to set the standards for customer experience in airline travel year after year, we managed to strengthen and deepen our partnership at the same time. This new deal is a compliment to both Air France-KLM and TCS teams for their mutual trust, commitment, and perseverance to build long-lasting and successful partnerships that drive sustainable growth.”
