Hexaware Technologies Featured Among Top 25 Case Studies in New ISG Book on Digital Excellence
June 17, 2020
Mumbai, June 17, 2020 – Hexaware Technologies, one of the fastest growing next-generation provider of IT, BPO and Consulting Services, today announced it has been recognized by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, for its role in one of the top 25 examples of digital transformation in the past year, as featured in the newly published ISG book, Scaling Digital: 25 Stories of Innovation.
Air Canada partnered with Hexaware on the digital transformation initiative to replace IBM TPF PSS applications with products from the Amadeus Altéa suite in the digital assurance space. The key objective was to ensure safe, secure, and reliable operations during transition. The scope involved implementing approximately 182 applications and products, including 23 Amadeus products to be integrated with 24 other applications while following an aggressive timeline. The engagement also included designing, developing, and implementing nine new applications, integrating 57 of the impacted applications with the new ecosystem, and providing rollout support and customer service desk support.
Air Canada believes no other airline ever attempted to replace its reservation, inventory, and departure control systems within a 24-month timeline period. After co-creating and executing 70,000 functional and technical test cases in 18 months, rehearsals at more than 130 airports, 2,000 check-in scenarios, 4,500 airport kiosks, over 10,000 workstations and 122 flight departures, Air Canada was ready to move the system into production. The real challenge was ensuring that all the critical systems required to keep airline operations functional were not affected during the 12-hour transition.
Implementation day saw 100 percent on-time flight departures on the new PSS. It has given Air Canada a competitive edge. Some of the key tangible outcomes include:
- Reusable digital assets resulting in 35 percent increased productivity.
- 30 percent faster time to market for new features.
- 50 percent faster onboarding for new Air Canada employees.
- Substantial revenue uplift on an annual basis.
Talking about this “Digital Transformation Program”, Eswar Venkatachalam, Senior Vice President & Global Head – Travel & Transportation Industry said, “Time-tested knowledge of the airline/airport domains blended with our proven capabilities of Digital Assurance (Product Validation) and automation to transform Air Canada’s legacy Passenger Services System into a truly trailblazing process. The aggressive timeline greatly aided in ensuring both productivity and creativity in the spirit of Hexaware’s Agile Development methodology. In all, Hexaware can assist organizations looking for revolutionary transformation programs with our Digital Leap-frogging service offerings.”
Scaling Digital: 25 Stories of Innovation is the product of a rigorous examination of a significant number of digital case studies submitted by the provider community. ISG evaluated each case study by interviewing the customers involved, assessing the impact of each transformation on the customer’s business and indexing ISG’s evaluation criteria to determine the top 25 case studies that would be published in the book.
“ISG selected Hexaware Technologies as among the best of the best on the basis of the strong partnership between Hexaware and their customer Air Canada and the impactful digital transformation they achieved together,” said Paul Reynolds, Partner and Chief Research Officer, ISG. “Through their innovative execution, application of cutting-edge digital technologies and overall commitment to excellence, Hexaware Technologies and Air Canada achieved impressive, tangible business results.”
Each of the digital transformation case studies published in the book was evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Uniqueness: The provider’s ability to help its clients think beyond the obvious in digital transformation and design the abstract.
- Complexity: Obtaining success while driving the design and delivery of complex digital solutions.
