National Aviation Company of India :Integration of E-mail

After the merger of Air India and Indian, this in-house built solution has been able to allow seamless flow of information

Tuesday, May 06, 2008

Under the Air corporations rule, Air India & Indian Airlines, were merged w.e.f 31st March 2007 with the enactment of Parliament act on Aircraft rules. The merger of erstwhile Air India & Indian Airlines resulted in transfer from one organization to another for better utilization of HR resources, resulting in need for better communication and speedy dissemination of information to the executives. It was a challenge to seamlessly communicate between erstwhile Air India & Indian Airlines and transfer mail data seamlessly between the Domino servers running different OS & Domino levels. There are no direct communication links between the data centers of both Airlines. There is no hardware compatibility as well.

The integration of their e-mail solution gives immediate flow of information to executives resulting in speedy decision making. The movement of documents has become efficient and cost-effective making executives more mobile and accessible. For future, the company has plans of integrating network of both companies, so that linking becomes cost effective and easy to maintain. They are also planning to upgrade the network to meet the future requirements.
