Air India has announced collaboration with Microsoft aimed at redefining employee experience and accelerating the company’s digital transformation journey. The collaboration seeks to unlock the opportunities that Microsoft’s collaboration and security tools provide to create a comprehensive, agile and empowering employee experience for Air India employees world-wide.
Through the collaboration with Microsoft, Air India will have access to the rich set of tools in Microsoft 365, which will empower the company to provide best-in-class security, collaboration, integration, and effective communication capabilities.
Attracting best-in-class talent is a key transformation pillar of the ‘Vihaan’ AI initiative that Air India has embarked upon. Designing a strong employee proposition and providing an intuitive and easy to use digital productivity and collaboration suite for every employee is a key part of this.
“As we set out on the journey of transforming Air India’s technology landscape, at the top of our agenda was deploying a world-class productivity, collaboration, and security suite. The set of technologies that we have now deployed from Microsoft will help us reimaging our employee experience and make it a very compelling proposition for those who wish to join us in this exciting transformation journey,” said Air India’s Chief Digital and Technology Officer, Dr. Satya Ramaswamy.
“We plan to develop systems that implement unique airline use cases such as precision time schedule and aircraft turnaround management on top of the deployed Microsoft technologies. We were very impressed with the customer-focus and agility of Microsoft’s teams that helped us accomplish this milestone successfully in a very short time-frame,” Ramaswamy added.
“In today’s hybrid work environment, energized, empowered employees are the key to durable competitive advantage for every organization. Our collaboration with Air India is aimed at empowering every employee in the company to do more, with the right solutions from the Microsoft 365 family to enhance security and collaboration across the organisation,” said
