TCS in pact with BA to develop IT solution for aviation

The company along with British Airways will develop IT software, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component (Aviation).

This partnership brings to the market a tried and tested solution that addresses key MRO industry requirements, including compliance control, inventory management and maintenance operations, TCS said in a statement.

Business solutions and outsourcing organisation has joined with British Airways to launch IT solution, branded as "SWIFT MRO."

The solution, based on the latest SAP platform, leverages British Airways’ best practices with a focus on increasing productivity by minimising manual intervention and increasing process automation - all through a simplified Graphical User Interface.

The solution focuses on eliminating non-value added activities and waste throughout MRO operations.

"Working with TCS, we have created a team that combines MRO industry experience with technology expertise to continually improve the effectiveness of our system, and believe we can offer this outstanding product to the market," British Airways’ director of Engineering Garry Copeland said.

TCS and British Airways are bringing this to the MRO industry so that other organisations can benefit from an end-to-end solution, which is scalable to support both the current and future needs of the industry.

The pre-configured solution also provides significant implementation cost savings compared to competing solutions, owing to the use of TCS’ propriety solution accelerators.
