Wipro Ltd has won a three-year outsourcing contract from Japan’s No. 2 air carrier, All Nippon Airways (ANA). The financial details of the contract have not been disclosed.
ANA is the first air carrier to own a Boeing 787 Dreamline. The airline is revamping its materials management system to add more support to the new fleet which is being done to keep updated with the expansion of the business at Tokyo`s Haneda Airport with its upcoming fourth runway in 2010.
The materials management system which will be delivered by Wipro will lend a helping hand for proactively managing the parts life cycle. The system will strengthen regulatory compliance, predict parts demand better and help manage inventory levels. The new Materials Management system will be built in a scalable, flexible platform.
This will help in strategically improving the quality of its aircraft part maintenance business as well as improve asset management. The entire program including the Application Development, Program Management and Vendor management will be managed by Wipro, thereby providing ANA with a strategic competitive advantage.
Commenting on selecting Wipro as a strategic partner, Takanori Yukishige, SVP of ANA Information Technology Services said, "We are starting a new journey and this program will set a benchmark for our future way of doing business. We look forward to further leveraging our partnership with Wipro to gain competitive advantage."
Hiroshi Alley, President & Representative Director, Wipro Japan said, "It is a significant engagement for us and will be a driver for increased penetration in the growing Japan outsourcing market."
