SIA TO INVEST S$100 MILLION IN mySAP.com TO STREAMLINE BUSINESS FUNCTIO NS

Singapore Airlines (SIA) today announced that it will invest over S$100 million to bring the business operations of the SIA Group onto one common e-business platform with mySAP.com, developed by SAP AG, a leading provider of inter-enterprise solutions.

The consolidation of numerous disparate systems in the Group into one integrated e-business platform will enable greater cost efficiencies, increase productivity, and improve decision-making. In the area of engineering maintenance, for example, essential data required to support routine checks or fault diagnosis is currently obtained from several different systems. This is time-consuming, because the engineering staff are required to log on and off several times to various systems to retrieve the necessary information. With mySAP.com, they can obtain the information quickly from a single source, through the efficient integration of engineering data. In addition, SIA employees will be able to access mySAP.com e-services via a Web-based portal.

SIA will replace its Legacy systems, including those in the areas of finance, logistics, human resource and supply chain management, with mySAP.com solutions. SIA will also utilise SAP’s industry-specific solutions for Aerospace and Defense to meet the diverse needs of the Company.

mySAP.com will enable SIA to standardise business processes across the parent Company and SIA subsidiaries, including Singapore Airport Terminal Services, the SIA Engineering Company, SIA Properties and SilkAir, enabling streamlined and cost-efficient processes and reduced costs.

As a market leader of inter-enterprise software solutions, SAP is leveraging its strength in industry-focused business software and the world’s largest enterprise software customer base to deliver mySAP.com, which provides an open collaborative business environment of personalised solutions on demand. This enables companies of all sizes and industries to fully engage their employees, customers and partners to capitalize upon the new Internet economy. mySAP.com allows people to harness the power of the Internet to work smarter, better and faster by optimizing supply chains, managing strategic relationships, reducing time to market, sharing virtual information, and increasing productivity and shareholder value.
