Etihad Airways opts for SAP's cloud-based solutions

Etihad Airways is deploying SAP's state-of-the-art, cloud-based solutions across its human resources, finance, procurement and supply management functions, as part of a company-wide business transformation program.

The technology transformation will enable Etihad Airways to redesign its vital back-office processes entirely, standardise its subsidiaries and partner airline Air Seychelles, and scale up to support its continued growth. In the first phase of implementation, the airline has modernised and simplified the recruitment process by introducing new abilities through SAP's Success Factors.

A new Etihad Airways careers website, with easy-to-use digital functionalities, has been launched to enrich the candidates recruitment experience. The latest features include a fresh layout, job alerts, and integration with the world's largest professional network, LinkedIn. It also offers real-time visibility on the status of job applications for candidates, hiring managers and recruiters. Chief Information and Technology Officer, Etihad Airways, Robert Webb said, "This deployment reinforces our technology and innovation strategy of connecting Etihad Airways, our partners and ultimately guests through modern sustainable solutions."

"This cloud-based platform will leverage abilities within the HR function and across our business to increase efficiency, improve information sharing, and promote better cooperation," he said. The next phase of the implementation will transform performance management and career development, while offering access to learning and development content across multiple platforms and devices, positively impacting every employee across Etihad Airways and its subsidiaries.
