IBS Software, an IT solutions provider to the global aviation industry, has set up a ‘test factory’ for Lufthansa Cargo to ensure all its application software are fit for purpose and meet the quality standards the latter has set for itself. IBS is a strategic IT partner for Lufthansa Cargo, and responsible for managing end-to-end testing of all applications under the core IT platform, enabling a smooth rollout of product upgrades, new services and innovations.
The test factory will ensure the testing services are delivered in a scalable, flexible and cost-effective manner, a spokesman for the company said here. Lufthansa Cargo will thus be able to derive benefits from IBS’ domain knowledge in air cargo as also its experience in building, testing and implementing mission-critical systems for airlines and travel companies around the world, the firm said.
Jochen Göttelmann, Chief Information Officer, Lufthansa Cargo, said the test factory bundles product development, project implementation and quality assurance for its core IT platform. “We have succeeded in reducing the IT complexity and in streamlining our provider relationships. We get these business-critical services now out of one hand only, ensuring smooth transition of projects into operations.”
Akshay Shrivastava, SVP and Global Head of IBS’ Services Business, said: “The relationship with Lufthansa Cargo has been taken to the next level by setting up this test factory, which will contribute to successful implementation of its IT strategy.”
