TCS Teams With I-SEC Technologies

Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global IT services and business solutions firm, and I-SEC Technologies, a fully owned subsidiary of ICTS International N.V., a world leader in aviation security, today announced through their partnership with Star Alliance, a global airline alliance, the launch of its premier alliance product for automatic document checking, aimed at simplifying the complex task of verifying travel documentation requirements for travelers.
The development of this automatic document checking software is a Star Alliance joint initiative involving experts from eleven of its member carriers. TCS designed the overall solution and managed the prestigious program for Star Alliance, while I-SEC Technologies maintains the systems' rule engine database and assisted in designing its concept.
"The automatic document checking solution helps carriers to significantly expedite check-in processes," said Lee Hock Lye, Vice President, Products and Services, Star Alliance.
Automatic document checking has already been implemented at one leading Star Alliance member carrier. Additional Star Alliance member carriers are presently working on future implementation schedules. This state-of-the-art solution will reduce the time for passenger check-in and help airlines avoid immigration fines.
The automatic document checking solution shortens airport check-in time, especially for international travelers. The automatic document checking software evaluates the passengers' travel documents and provides clear Yes, No or Conditional decisions on whether the passengers' travel documents will allow them to continue to their intended destination. The system also provides travel warnings and restrictions associated with the rules of the country they are traveling to, in a clear, easy to understand format.
