OREANDA-NEWS. The Executive Board of UTair (UTair Aviation, JSC) has published the final results of the tender to pick a company that would take a set of measures to implement SAP ERP solutions. IBS has been announced the winner of the tender.

The decision to rollout a business management system employing the most state-of-the-art information technology stems from the sustained annual growth of UTair’s revenue which has been above 40 percent for the past few years, and steadily increasing passenger transportation and destinations as well as from the need to meet generally accepted international standards.

The joint project team bringing together both UTair and IBS employees will launch a pilot project targeted at improving information support of the control over fixed asset movement.

Further on, the pilot configuration will be scaled and spread throughout all business areas of UTair. The airline proposes to automate its operations using the SAP ERP financial and management accounting platform, install information systems for budgeting, corporate accounting and human resources management.

The airline’s General Director Andrei Martirosov said: “We believe that IT-based management will help the company retain a high level of controllability amid rapid growth and grant it an extra competitive edge.”
