JAL Group introduces "HULFT Square" to establish a self-development environment

- Promoting fast system development, reducing development costs and construction time for data integration platform by 50% -

In order to promote in-house development and efficiency, JAL and JAL Digital introduced "HULFT Square" as a dual-purpose tool that can be used separately from the existing heavyweight data integration platform group, creating an environment in which even inexperienced data integration developers can perform self-development. The development of projects that were difficult to achieve with the existing data integration platform group, such as the DXing of flight information data acquisition for airline routes and the smooth data integration of code-sharing flight information with other airlines, reduced development costs for data integration platform by 50% and shortened the construction period by 50%.

background

The JAL Group is promoting customer, human resources, and digital transformation strategies as part of its cross-business initiatives to realize its "JAL Vision 2030," which is based on the core concepts of "creating a safe and secure society" and "creating a sustainable future," and to become "the world's most chosen and beloved airline group." Japan Airlines and JAL Digital are working together to use IT to improve operational efficiency and service quality, accelerating the digital transformation of the group and its customers and contributing to the development of society.

The existing data integration platform operated for each business area of the JAL Group, such as passenger, flight operations, maintenance, airport, and cargo, was quality-oriented and required specialized knowledge to handle highly important areas such as customer information and flight information, making it unsuitable for fast system development.Therefore, a new cost-effective data integration platform was introduced, and an environment was created in which it could be used in conjunction with the existing data integration platform group depending on the content of the development project.

The following are some of the benefits of implementing "HULFT Square".

• A rapid increase in development projects that were difficult to realize with existing data integration platform
• Reduce development costs related to data integration platform by 50%, shorten construction time by 50%, and reduce operational man-hours by 40%
• Establish an environment where even those with no experience data integration can self-develop through self-study
