British Airways Improves Cost Management and Customer In-Cabin Experience with CDC Software; British Airways Invests in Order Management Solution to Support its Business and Streamline Processes in Catering Equipment Procurement.

ATLANTA & NORTHAMPTON, United Kingdom -- CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and provider of enterprise software applications, announced that one of the world's largest international scheduled airlines, British Airways, has upgraded its web-based order management solution from CDC Software. The solution, that can be accessed via a web portal by 100 British Airways locations, will ensure that all of the catering equipment, which British Airways procures annually can be tracked, prioritized and managed tightly in order to be on the right aircraft in the right country at the right time, delivering superior customer experiences, supporting the business and ensuring strict compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.

British Airways is one of the largest and most successful international airlines in the world, carrying approximately 36 million passengers and 877,000 tons of cargo annually, with a fleet of more than 230 mainline aircraft, plus subsidiary and franchise operations.

With the urgent need to streamline cost control, support its business and become more responsive to demand and comply with regulations, British Airways identified benefits that could be gained by upgrading its order management solution to improve sourcing, purchasing and distribution capabilities of catering equipment and dry goods. The upgraded system will also integrate with its existing warehouse management system to eliminate re-keying information and wasting productivity. The upgraded version of the order management system is an advanced solution that improves flexibility, responsiveness and speed of order processing and fulfillment operations.

"British Airways' brand is built around values, which are dependent on the right customer experience being delivered," stated Frank Thompson, inventory planning and development manager, British Airways In Flight Services. "If a key item of catering equipment fails to make it to the right aircraft in the right place at the right time, this impacts the customer's brand experience. In parallel, we need to ensure that we procure in the most cost effective way to achieve the appropriate margins and meet business goals. CDC Software has proved invaluable in helping us to meet our objectives and guiding us through the system to get the most value out of it. The consultants we worked with provided impartial advice and were professional and knowledgeable throughout the scoping of the project."

"The UK aviation industry is booming, year on year transport providers are experiencing record passenger throughput, but margins continue to be eroded." commented Mark Carlile, vice president, managing director EMEA, CDC Software. "As a result the industry is experiencing more complex logistical challenges and pressures to streamline its supply chain, to become more responsive to peaks and troughs and more efficient to protect margins. British Airways is a key client for us and we have been pleased to work with them to understand their business challenges and to help improve their supply chain management and data analysis, to allow the inventory management team to plan with confidence to keep customers happy."
