A wide geographic spread of operations, mobile workforce and remote employee population are some factors that pose significant challenges to an airline’s management in cultivating a sense of belonging and ownership among its employees. These, in turn, are factors that motivate an airline's employees to provide superior service to its customers i.e. passengers.To keep their employees informed of all aspects of their operations, it is imperative for airlines to make all information -- in the form of documents, forms and manuals -- available to them in near real time.
Airlines also need to provide all their employees with access to a single version of documents as well as manually recorded forms. Additionally, they also need to be provided with a forum to share documents, information, knowledge and issues to keep them aware of updates on relevant information. A shared environment, accessible through a common portal will provide airlines’ employees with easy and secure access to operational as well as administrative information and documents.
Sonata, with over 100 experienced resources in MOSS and an experience of 40+ engagements, adopts an accelerator-based approach to provide MOSS-based airline departmental solutions to some of the leading airlines around the world.
