New solution combines Oracle technology and Satyam innovation
capabilities and industry expertise HYDERABAD, India, Nov. 13
/PRNewswire/ -- Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (NYSE:SAY), a leading
global consulting and information technology services provider,
announced today that they will launch Airline xPress Solution, the
first, in a series of innovative Oracle-based xPress solutions,
developed by Satyam. Airline xPress is a solution for low-cost
airlines to help manage their back-office operations and streamline
airline industry companies' purchasing, inventory, human resources,
and accounting processes. Airline xPress will also provide rapid,
off-the-shelf, predefined business process flows, ready-made
project life cycle components, templates, and utilities for airline
industry customers. It is particularly well suited to emerging
airlines and low-cost carriers. "This robust solution will help
airline industry organizations enjoy markedly enhanced operational
efficiency," said Sriram Papani, Sr Vice President, Enterprise
Applications, Satyam Computer Services. "By leveraging Oracle's
leading-edge application products and Satyam's exceptional
innovation capabilities, we have created a standardized solution
that will accelerate transformation and drive their future
competitive strength." The solution was developed in Satyam's
Futurus laboratory, a facility to design and simulate future
business scenarios. Futurus enables next-generation prototyping and
demonstration, in which customers play a critical role. They are
able to see, first-hand and in real time, how an application or
system will perform, and what their business will look like. As a
result, they are far better able to make accurate and profitable
business decisions. "Like Satyam, we are always trying to
anticipate, identify, and fulfill unmet marketplace needs," said
Andy Bailey, senior vice president, Worldwide SI Alliances at
Oracle. "We're pleased to work with Satyam to combine Oracle
software and Satyam expertise to tailor an industry solution to the
unique requirements of airline industry organizations." The
advantages Airline xPress brings to customers are significant. For
example, it captures general station, outstation, agents, and ICH
bookings, which prevents revenue leakage. It also demarcates
revenue streams into passenger, cargo, and miscellaneous sales
categories. Direct operating costs, such as fuel, aircraft lease,
etc., are also managed and controlled, while indirect costs are
captured and allocated. Moreover, Airline xPress helps companies
manage employee travel expenses, vacation, and training. And, it
can access industry reports readily. The solution also: -- Settles
inter-airline transactions -- Manages in-flight items, issues, and
stocks -- Manages assets and their depreciation (in accordance with
local requirements) -- Includes a comprehensive recruitment
management capability -- Features organization-wide learning
initiatives -- Records employee information and its visibility to
line/staff managers -- Requisition monitoring and approvals for
procuring material over the Internet "Airline xPress features
predefined process flows, mapped on Oracle applications, which
serve as a framework to integrate financial information from Oracle
and non-Oracle applications. In addition, the solution meets key
requirements for recording and reporting information" said
Ravishankar P, AVP, Satyam Computer Services. "Airline xPress is
one amongst a series of xPress solutions that offers fixed
features, fixed duration and fixed price solution capsules which
helps customers enjoy business value at a rapid velocity," said V.
