Avianca, a leading airline in Latin America, and the second oldest in the world, has chosen Telefónica Business Solutions as its technological partner to accelerate the digital transformation of its operations in 27 countries.
The five-year agreement includes the provision of five categories of global services - infrastructure support (LAN/WLAN/Cabling centre/Power/UPS) and transformation to Unified Communications(UC), complemented with digital Security and SDN solutions.
Avianca is working on a digital transformation process that aims to transform the company into the number one Latin American airline for travellers from around the world by 2020. To achieve this, it proceeded to look for the most appropriate partner to undertake this transformation, thus choosing Telefónica to organize its entire IT and communications area, and to lead the strategic projects aimed at the company’s digital transformation.
Avianca and Telefónica now work together in the analysis of requirements and to find the most adequate solution to their needs to fulfil this vision.
