Country's largest software services firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) today said its agreement with JetBlue has been extended to help enhance the US-based airline's data analytics and operational agility.
JetBlue is ramping up its relationship with TCS to strategically optimise and transform key business channels and enhance digital customer touchpoints, TCS said in a statement.
No financial details of the new agreement were disclosed.
During a three-year relationship, JetBlue leveraged TCS' expertise to develop new platforms, and for quality assurance and infrastructure services.
"As part of a recently signed strategic agreement, TCS will now manage several additional programs alongside JetBlue, including modernisation of the airline's IT Foundation platform to enhance data analytics and operational agility, and developing innovative tools for customers and JetBlue crew members," it said.
TCS will also expand its innovation centre in Pune over the next two years to support critical JetBlue Digital initiatives, complementing JetBlue's team as well as TCS team members in the US and Mexico.
"This strategic agreement is a reflection of our confidence in TCS as the right partner for our global talent and technology transformational needs," JetBlue EVP and CIO Eash Sundaram said.
As part of the expanded relationship, JetBlue can benefit
from TCS' COIN (Co-Innovation) Network
[http://www.Tcs.Com/about/tcs_difference/innovation/network/Pa ges/default.Aspx ]. This specifically involves access to TCS' Airline and Digital Innovation Labs
[http://www.Tcs.Com/research/Pages/tcs-labs.Aspx#travel ], which focus on identifying business challenges and opportunities (e.G., operational analytics and optimization) in the Travel and Hospitality sector, and how to leverage technology and airline expertise to more quickly develop solutions.
TCS has emerged as a clear partner of choice for airline companies looking to reinvent themselves in this new digital age. The company was recently selected for similar transformational initiatives with leading airlines in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe.
