National carrier Malaysia Airlines (MAS) plans to invest RM320 million over three years in a computer-based solution to streamline operations and maximise business efficiency.
The enterprise resource panning (ERP) solution will replace existing systems and integrate MAS's finance, human resource, and engineering and maintenance operations.
"The total benefit expected from the project is estimated at over RM120 million per year, once fully implemented in 2010," MAS managing director and chief executive officer Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin told reporters at a briefing in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
The system will centralise all the airline's data and allow it to obtain real-time information. This will boost cost efficiency, improve decision-making and employee productivity, and optimise cash management.

Boss, it also remind us that IT could help us to make more money.
IT is something that can't live without....it's an influential technological revolution...
Mathias : of course IT helps us make more money..but we must know how;-)
Yeah they should spend more on such IT infrastructure, especially in improvement effort.
Despite all the commotion that we heard years ago, our national airline need to live up to the public's expectation, no need to mention international reputation. They still won many awards despite everything. Skytrax's 5-Star Airline, World's Best Economy Class etc just to name a few.
My experience doing practical work & doing customer service there seems to support the need to improve their IT infrastructure like what they are doing now.
Mr Penghulu, glad that u come up with a plan to make more money. end of the day, went retire, we all want to be a millionaire. those days we have to calculate using a huge machine, but today, just key-in the figures in a computer and our future value of present monthly saving plus the annual dividend will be automatically generated and appear on the screen. guys, have u figure out how much to save today in order to get passive income in the future?
Yup..Yup..Yup..I'm agree what you all guys said just now..The first thing come out from my mind is..."Dunia di hujung Jari..".. Hehe..
Mr Penghulu. IT especialy for those who doing business is one of the strategy to face the competition with each other.Dunia tanpa sempadan.
Such as MAS when introducing the KIOSK express check in machine.
IT benefits my job in Corporate Relations - by using emails and messenger, our communication becomes more efficient and friendlier. - world is now going for paperless
IT makes life more convenient, have your emails on the go, your corporate contacts in your hand...with the new gadgets of BB and Iphone, the world is in your hand
thanks Joimran..superb remarks. wherever we go, our gadget helps us a lot. communication is tip of the finger..like Suria said "dunia tanpa sempadan", it connects us to family , friends and office. but guys, watch out for the comm bill!!
How many network providers in Malaysia currently? And which offer the best?
''The enterprise resource panning (ERP) solution will replace existing systems and integrate MAS's finance, human resource, and engineering and maintenance operations''....... is a wise long term plan.
But there also the need to increase investment their Human Capital and the dire need to appreciate existing staffs especially whose stay still during up and down of the company together till now.........
Things are so dynamic nowdays. What was new and considered latest two months back may now be obsolete. On another dimension, we too can become obsolete if we don't upgrade ourselves with the necessary knowledge, which of course includes knowledge on IT. Bravo sdra Jaz....!
Prof, our networks dominated by the three operators namely Celcom, Maxis and Digi, even though there are few more to come. its good to have this kind of competition coz the offering of great deals, cheaper plan etc will benefit customers. wifi at home? streamyx still the fastest..
there's always something exciting to look forward for..
utilize business with IT.. like mr penghulu said, IT can make money but its must follow by the powerfull knowledge and management of IT... btl ba jg tu kn guys,hihi...
