Tata Consultancy Services has been selected by Avianca, one of the leading airlines in South America, as a strategic partner in its cloud transformation journey.
TCS will modernize Avianca’s IT infrastructure and build a new future-ready cloud-based digital core on Microsoft Azure. Leveraging its deep domain knowledge of the airline industry and its extensive experience in successfully executing large transformation programs, TCS will help the airline migrate 129 core applications to the cloud and will also manage the new cloud estate.
TCS will leverage its proprietary automation tools and accelerators to drive this transformation, reducing the time-to-market and delivering superior business outcomes. These include TCS Cloud Counsel, a digitized cloud candidature assessment toolset, and TCS Cloud Mason which helps organizations rapidly define, design and deploy cloud foundational platforms.
The new digital core will provide an integrated environment that will enhance Avianca’s business agility, operational resilience, adaptability and future-readiness. Additionally, the cloud-based infrastructure will have a significantly reduced carbon footprint that will help Avianca get closer to its sustainability goals.
“Avianca is a valued customer of TCS, and we are thrilled to partner with them to advance their multi-horizon cloud transformation journey. The new cloud-based digital core that we design and build, will have a tremendous impact on their overall operations, sustainability and future growth,” said Sowmya Rajagopalan, Head of Americas, Travel, Transportation and Hospitality (TTH), TCS.
“Technology is undoubtedly a very important component of our new vision, that is why we want to provide the best technology available for our talent and customers,” said Michael Ruplitsch, Chief Information Officer, Avianca. “That’s why our work to achieve a transformed IT infrastructure with TCS and Microsoft just makes sense; we look forward to continued innovation and modernization that will drive us into the future.”
“We are pleased that TCS will deliver a Microsoft Azure powered cloud-based digital core that will enable Avianca to drive digital transformation, achieve their sustainability goals and realize business growth,” said Takuya Hirano, Vice President, Global System Integrator and Advisory Partners, Microsoft. “We look forward to collaborating with TCS to enable Avianca’s migration to the cloud.”
