What’s New

Qatar Airways announced that it has engaged Arconics to implement an enterprise Corporate Document Management System (CDMS) for Qatar Airways. The 10-year agreement was recently signed in Doha by Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, H.E. Mr. Akbar Al Baker, and Arconics CEO, Mr. Niall O’Sullivan.
“Evolution 2”, the customized system based on the Arconics AeroDocs platform, will provide a single centralized repository to revise and track in real-time all operational and non-operational company manuals and documentation for operational readiness.
The system will support all areas of the business that require access to documentation, including Flight Operations, Engineering, Ground Operations, Inflight Services, Cargo, Security, Human Resources, Finance, Commercial and a host of other areas.
The centralization and consolidation efforts of the company manuals stems from the airline’s desire to ensure all operational, maintenance and security documents are managed and coordinated, to effectively implement a versatile and user-friendly corporate document management scheme.
The AeroDocs platform delivers simple, web-based authoring of XML documents, secure storage, controlled audited distribution, and smart sharing and reuse of data across the airline. The platform gives all users across the Group, external partners and regulators access to documents, with fast search facilities and offline viewing capabilities.
Qatar Airways administrators will have real-time visibility and control of the distribution process, ensuring that all devices are updated and that all staff have access to the current version of documents. Arconics will integrate AeroDocs into existing Qatar Airways Group systems to minimize the operational overhead and assure accuracy of information and consistency across all systems.
The requirements outlined by the airline included enhancements to the AeroDocs system, which will give the carrier unprecedented capabilities to ensure consistency across documents, notify document owners when regulations relevant to them are updated, and provide a unified enterprise-wide KPI dashboard for document compliance management.
The airline’s operational teams will begin training on the new system in the last quarter of this year, with full go-live scheduled for 2016.
