Garuda Indonesia Airlines goes live with TCS SWIFT MRO solution

JAKARTA, INDONESIA & MUMBAI, INDIA: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), announced the go-live of a new Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) application programme with PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. (Garuda Indonesia Airlines), Indonesia's national airline, via its aircraft maintenance subsidiary GMF Aeroasia.

Garuda's relationship with TCS began in 2012 when the airline sought a solution to upgrade, consolidate and enhance its MRO technology infrastructure which was spread across numerous applications from multiple vendors. The programme to implement the TCS SWIFT MRO platform moved from blueprint phase to go-live in 13 months, much faster than the typical MRO project that can take three to five years to complete.

With the TCS SWIFT MRO solution, Garuda replaced over 50 legacy applications, implemented over 300 business processes, and migrated over 3 million records of data for 140 aircrafts and fitted parts into a unified solution. The first phase of the project, now live, comprises the SAP-based End-to-End Pre-Configured SWIFT MRO solution for MRO, supply chain processes, finance and human resources modules.
