BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES

Access current data electronicallyCan Work anywhereConvenient Time savingCost controlClass room training ended

Challenges are particular to Lufthansa’s situation, many are shared by other global

organizations also, like

Provide a mobile workforce with equipment that fits their needs

Capital to invest New employees have to be recruited with computer skills Not suitable for employees who are not adaptable to new

technologies and may take time to be accustomed to it. Provide adequate support to mobile operations while

keeping a tight control on cost and being able to justify the investment.

Example could include: This problem may be faced by some transportation

companies and shipping companies while implementing mobile computing in their system.

Examples could include:

Increased, all-around, communication within Organization Personal relationships (family, friends, etc).Especially important for a highly mobile workforce such as

airline pilots. Remote access to

Corporate applicationsImportant as more of the employee’s interaction is self-

managed (payroll systems, expense reports, etc.) The Communication & effectiveness of its service

representatives in addressing the customers’ needs, benefits business in several areas, such as Sales & Marketing, Customer Service and Operations.

BENEFITS TO CUSTOMERS Flight information

Online timetable Arrival and departure Timetable to download Information via SMS Lufthansa Mobile Services

In-flight access internet to customers via FlyNet project

Improve Customer relationship Low ticket prices Providing data to support new initiatives, to

solve issues

Steps taken to manage the risk:

Ensured that technical specifications for the equipment were acceptable to both pilots and the union

Increased the chances of use by providing convenient alternatives to traditional tasks (such as carrying manuals and technical documents around).

Standardized on a unique hardware and software platform to reduce support and upgrade costs.

Before mass implementation feedback has been taken in phases to understand the feasibility.

Pilots may not be efficient to work on notebooks so for this initial training is given accordingly.

CONCLUSIONMobile technology Improves business processes Improves return on investments Reduce cost and time Customer and employee satisfaction

So every business organization will be benefitted by implementing Mobile technology as Lufthansa.
