AIR FRANCE and the CEISAR

AIR FRANCE has a long history of leveraging the full range of IT capabilities to enable business growth, and to improve customer experience.From creating our reservation system in the 70s, to deploying advanced operational research engines to optimize our businesses, and now to building up a common IT system from the best assets available either in KLM or in AIR FRANCE information systems; we really pay a huge attention to keeping our IT state of the art. Having a clear vision of how our IT has to change and adapt over time is really key to keep up to the level of expectation of more and more demanding businesses, asking for a wider range of features from out IT system, and shorter time-to-market.
