I'm responsible for migrating legacy data from the legacy Objectstar system which runs on MVS to the new iCargo system which is Oracle/Linux based. We (SAA IT Development team) work together with the IBS development resources from India to deploy the new system at SAA Cargo. Phase 1 of the project went live on 1 April 2010. Phase 2 of the project is currently under development and it will go live in 6 months. The iCargo solution was developed in collaboration with five major cargo carriers, South African Airways Cargo, Gulf Air, Air New Zealand Cargo, Qantas Freight and Australian Air Express that formed a Core Group of Influence (CGI) along with IBS. The CGI laid down the product development road-map to include full functionality anticipating any airline’s need. The presence of cargo airlines in the CGI ensured the inclusion of industry-best practices in the product.
