Gulf Air, TransSys announce accord

Manama : Gulf Air and TransSys Solutions announced that they have partnered to enhance Oracle E-Business Suite capabilities and features to utilise latest technologies such as mobility and interface to Hybrid Cloud. The deal was signed by Dr. Jassim Haji, Director Information Technology, Gulf Air and Prabu Balasubramanyan, Executive Director, TransSys Solutions. 

As part of digital transformation strategy, Gulf Air is complementing its private cloud with integration with the other providers forming hybrid cloud. This would allow Gulf Air to deploy a hybrid cloud architecture while driving performance and productivity, thereby gaining elasticity in computing capacity and further optimising IT spend by moving towards an Opex model. Gulf Air has adopted an approach wherein both Public and Private clouds would coexist in their IT environment, which would evolve into a Hybrid cloud.

“We are happy to partner with TransSys given their proven knowledge, expertise and years of experience of working with the Aviation industry,” says Dr. Jassim Haji, Director Information Technology, Gulf Air.

By adopting mobility and a hybrid cloud, Gulf Air would derive several benefits such as lowering upfront capital costs; speed and agility to rapidly deploy new IT environments; flexibility to access information anytime from anywhere; scalability to grow as the business grows; automated management, security, monitoring, patching and upgrade services; reduced carbon footprint; globalized workforce at reduced costs, etc.

“This partnership further strengthens our presence in the aviation sector and our pursuit to expand our service offering globally,” Prabu Balasubramanyan, Executive Director, TransSys Solutions said.
