BAA calls on India for application management

Airport group BAA, which owns seven UK airports including Heathrow, is outsourcing its software application management to India with LogicaCMG.
Under the five-year deal LogicaCMG will deliver the outsourced services through a "blended" onshore/ offshore model using its shared services centre in Bangalore.
The outsourcer will manage more than 400 applications, ranging from aircraft stand allocation and staff rostering to BAA's Oracle Enterprise Suite.
Around 50 BAA tech staff will transfer to LogicaCMG as part of the deal.
Richard Rundle, BAA IT Director, said LogicaCMG will become part of the company's multi-vendor strategy.
The contract became operational last month.
