Customer Stories Aviation Leader, Ethiopian Airlines, Saves Millions by Flying with Microsoft Azure Customer Name: Ethiopian Airlnes Industry: Airline Service Location/Country: Ethiopia Solution: Microsoft Azure Partner: Reliance Infosystems Ethiopian Airlines is a thriving pan-African airline based in Africa. The airline is one of Ethiopia’s largest employers and the largest airline in Africa in terms of passengers carried, destinations served, fleet size, and revenue. Founded in 1945, the airline is known for its excellent service and safety record and has grown into a major international carrier, serving over 150 destinations in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East with a fleet of more than 146 modern aircraft and an average fleet age of five years. What were the Challenges Faced? Ethiopian Airlines has grown consistently in recent times. The airline achieved an average growth rate of 25 percent in the seven years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, coupled with its growth it began to face mounting cloud infrastructure costs that eventually became unfeasible and expensive to maintain. The airline’s exceedingly high cloud costs did not directly translate into their operational capabilities, and it eventually became clear that a change was needed. The Game Changer In response to their challenges, Ethiopian Airline consulted with Reliance Infosystems and contracted their support in reining their cloud operation expenses and optimizing their systems. Reliance Infosystems deployed a variety of Azure-based solutions to optimize business operations. Embracing Transformation As a result of Ethiopian Airlines’ consultation, Reliance Infosystems partnered with Microsoft to migrate the airline’s server infrastructure to Microsoft Azure and restructure their digital operations to eliminate unnecessary expenses. The airline scaled down its on-premises data center for a partial migration to Microsoft Azure and implemented a hybrid cloud environment that combined Microsoft Azure with its on-premises infrastructure. This allowed Ethiopian Airlines to retain the flexible upward scaling potential of the cloud while reducing its total costs by keeping normal operations on-site. Reliance Infosystems also implemented security controls and best practices to protect Ethiopian Airlines’ data in the cloud. The partial migration to Microsoft Azure and new hybrid cloud and local infrastructure helped Ethiopian Airlines to achieve its targets of expense control and an improvement in operational efficiency. A New Future With their newly optimized infrastructure, Ethiopian Airline can now ensure that their infrastructural expenditure provided reasonable and verifiable returns of scale, reliability, and efficiency. The returns on investment are significant, enabling the management to redirect saved funds to other business demands. Reliance Infosystems was able to transform the efficiency of Ethiopian Airlines, paving the way for more achievements.

However, a fragmented understanding of customer interactions due to the absence of a unified customer view has hampered their ability to provide efficient customer service, leading to delays in response times and decreased customer satisfaction. To address this challenge, Reliance Infosystems conducted strategic alignment engagements to understand Coronation Registrars’ specific requirements and customer engagement process. This led to the proposal and implementation of Dynamics 365 Customer Service, enabling Coronation Registrars to streamline customer interactions, enhance support across multiple channels, and gain a comprehensive view of their customers’ journeys, thereby facilitating informed business decision-making. Understanding the Problem Coronation Registrars encountered difficulties in effectively onboarding customers and managing their interactions due to the lack of a unified customer view. This fragmented approach led to a limited understanding of customer interactions, impeding the acquisition of comprehensive insights essential for informed decision-making. Additionally, this gap in their customer management system compromised their response time to customer complaints, consequently undermining their efforts to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction. Dynamics 365 Customer Service was implemented to address Coronation Registrars’ specific challenges. This robust platform provided them with a range of tools designed to streamline customer interactions and improve support across multiple channels. One of the key features of Dynamics 365 Customer Service was its capability to offer a panoramic view of its customers’ journeys.

Agents were thus empowered with a comprehensive understanding of each customer’s history and current interactions, facilitating more informed and efficient customer service.

Without a holistic view of customer interactions, the financial institution struggled to gain a complete understanding of customer touchpoints. Utilizing disparate systems to engage with customers led to fragmented data, making it challenging to comprehend customer needs and preferences.

This approach focused on a deep understanding of the client’s specific environment and challenges before proposing tailored solutions. Key stakeholders including management and business users’ goals and overall experience were prioritized for the solution implementation.

By exploring and implementing potential integrations between Process Maker, HoduCC, and Dynamics 365 Marketing, Reliance Infosystems provided added value to Coronation Registrars. This integrated approach created a more streamlined workflow for Coronation Registrars, enabling them to leverage the combined strengths of these platforms.

Understanding the Problem Ethio Telecom, a major player in the telecommunications landscape, faced critical internal challenges that hindered its ability to operate efficiently and maintain its competitive edge. The company was grappling with outdated SharePoint functionalities which made collaboration on documents cumbersome. This was particularly problematic as it obstructed the seamless sharing of information, a fundamental requirement for a company with a vast and dynamic internal network. The organization’s desire to foster a learning culture was also hampered by the limitations of their existing digital workspace. The absence of an integrated platform for learning and development was a barrier to the cultivation of continuous improvement and professional growth among employees. Additionally, Ethio Telecom’s HR processes, specifically the exit management system, were beleaguered by inefficiencies. The manual and disjointed procedures not only resulted in prolonged processing times but also exposed the company to a higher rate of errors. These issues collectively led to a suboptimal experience for employees transitioning out of the company and disrupted the overall flow of HR functions.
