At the time of establishment, Sénégal Airlines considered its choice of service provider for information system management, including the financial management of its business. The airline opted for Sage FRP 1000 (http://www.sage.com) due to its flexibility, and its open and interfacing capabilities with other business management solutions which are essential for airlines.
As accounting and turnover calculation for airlines are quite specific tasks, Sénégal Airlines chose to outsource management of its turnover to a specialist service provider.
“Our accounting processes are automatically transferred in a fully secure manner to Sage FRP 1000 general accounting. Only an open information system such as Sage FRP 1000 allowed us to build interfaces between applications”, stated Abdoul Aziz NDAO, manager of the Sénégal Airlines information system.
For this project, Sénégal Airlines was looking for a Sage-approved information system partner, able to commit over the long term. “We chose Itech Solutions due to the fact that their working methods are best suited to our project vision as well as for their technical expertise regarding Sage solutions”, continued Abdoul Aziz NDAO.
Itech Solutions produced a model of the information system and its roll-out, user training and change management training. Today, it is responsible for managing maintenance contracts and software updates.
With Sage FRP 1000, Sénégal Airlines is achieving productivity gains and optimising management of its business processes.
