Airlines are moving from legacy ticket-centric models to dynamic, offer- and order-based retailing. This is not simply a technology refresh. It requires coordinated change across strategy, organization, processes, culture, and day-to-day operations, often while internal IT teams are already focused on maintaining existing systems.
Produced by T2RL with the cooperation of six airline-focused systems integrators, including Sutherland, this whitepaper examines the role an SI can play in turning disconnected projects into an integrated enterprise program. It explores how the right partner can bring airline expertise, scalable engineering capacity, program and change management, quality assurance, cross-industry learning, and shared architecture and governance.
