MAJOR PROJECTS  A number of project developments have taken place within Qantas BIS in 2009-2010 following a wide ranging business review designed to ensure it was operating at maximum efficiency, both internally and in terms of vendor partner relationships. Following the review, BIS engaged Fujitsu to provide end-user desktop services and continues to work with Telstra as an existing partner in other areas. IBM has also been engaged to perform a range of project delivery functions. The Next Generation Check-in experience, part of the Airports of the Future program, was successfully launched on a trial basis in Perth in July and next generation loyalty and freight projects have also had successful first phase implementations. Qantas Engineering’s system refresh program also continues, with the first release scheduled for implementation in early 2011.
SUSTAINABLE IT  Qantas BIS continually reviews opportunities to support the company’s sustainability initiatives and strives to reduce costs and waste.  A Green IT program actively identifies opportunities to retire ageing systems, projects to introduce server and storage consolidation and virtualisation, IT power consumption reductions and a continued focus on reducing unit costs and consumption across the breadth of the IT Services portfolio.
