National Aviation Company of India :Integration of E-mail

Under the Air corporations rule, Air India & Indian Airlines, were merged

w.e.f 31st March 2007 with the enactment of Parliament act on Aircraft rules.

The merger of erstwhile Air India & Indian Airlines resulted in transfer from

one organization to another for better utilization of HR resources, resulting in

need for better communication and speedy dissemination of information to the

executives. It was a challenge to seamlessly communicate between erstwhile Air

India & Indian Airlines and transfer mail data seamlessly between the Domino

servers running different OS & Domino levels. There are no direct communication

links between the data centers of both Airlines. There is no hardware

compatibility as well.

The integration of their e-mail solution gives immediate flow of information

to executives resulting in speedy decision making. The movement of documents has

become efficient and cost-effective making executives more mobile and

accessible. For future, the company has plans of integrating network of both

companies, so that linking becomes cost effective and easy to maintain. They are

also planning to upgrade the network to meet the future requirements.
