BUT WHERE TO START ?IT CANNOT BE A BIG BANG APPROACHWHAT IT AND BUSINESS DRIVERS AND REQUIREMENTS CAN BE BEST ADDRESSED WITH CLOUD SOLUTIONSOUR EXPERIENCE, HAVING BEEN THROUGH THIS FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS, IS THAT THERE ARE 3 DOMAINS WHERE CLOUD SHOULD BE CONSIDERED1- THE EMPLOYEE DIGITAL WORKSPACE2- BUSINESS APPLICATION DELIVERY3- INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSFORMATION AND RATIONALIZATIONLET’S ELABORATE ON THESE IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES
WITH 250,000 DESKTOP IN AIRLINES OUTSTATIONS, MANAGEMENT, SUPPORT, EVOLUTION OF IT INFRASTRUCTURE IS A REAL NIGHTMARE FOR IT Infrastructure directorCloud and virtualization technology allows for significant reduction and simplification of IT footprint in outstations, reducing support cost increasing data security, flexibility,It is also a key enabler for introduction of new ways of working, of BYOD, of home working, of off-shoring / BPO….and key enabler for provision of IT to device-less employees, mobile employees, such as crewWorkspace virtualization also provides simpler, more secure and flexible ways of providing entreprise IT to business partners (such as ground handlers, call centers,…) providing in particular a clear demarcation line
Cloud solution can also greatly simplify delivery of applicationsIn the next few years it is estimated that 50% of airlines are or will be going through a major business application upgrade, be it Passenger / Res applications, aircraft management, etc….Virtualization technology and distribution of these applications from the cloud can reduce significantly the cost and time to roll-out these apps; thanks to pre-positioned pre-connected, platform,, reaching to all airports, scaling as much as needed…SITA has already embraced delivery of our own applications from the cloud : aircom server, workbridge, bag manager, air fare insightThe cloud simplifies SaaS-model adoption for the 600 or so ISV’s providing vertical applications to the industryAs an airline and airport, it will bring you simpler access to better application
Last but not least cloud solution enables transformation, rationalization of IT and DC infrastructure.Let’s look at a few examplesTypically, through replacement of regional legacy datacenters, by virtual DC positioned in the cloud, with right-sizing, scalability, and immediate provisioningAlso, in the deployment of more cost effective disaster recovery solutionBy migration to managed, in-the-cloud collaboration Microsoft platform, enabling adoption of a more effective, on-demand, as a service, ever-green model, in replacement of end of life, in-house solution
In sumaryCloud and virtualization technology, the ATI cloud can fuel efficiency and innovation in the air transport industry Enabling new ways of working Facilitating usage of a wider and wider range of end-user devices Facilitating distribution, sharing of business applications and data, between partners and consequently enabling implementation of new operational model and new processesAnd also by bringing simplicity, scalability, cost savings to IT organization, allowing these organization to focus on how to best serve the business and enable innovation in the business
