Wizz Air soars higher with value of unlocked data
Wizz Air and Avanade executives discuss transforming data to build a stronger airline : faster insights , lower costs , and better customer experiences
Leading European airline Wizz Air aims to give its customers the lowest cost . To find new ways to drive efficiency , they needed to squeeze insights from every data set .
Zsolt Nadas , Wizz Air Head of Technology , called upon Avanade to help transform their data on Microsoft Azure : “ I was looking for a partner who wasn ’ t just going to come in and provide the delivery muscle , but somebody who would guide us and be more prescriptive with the vision ”.
Alan Grogan , Global Data Platform Modernisation lead at Avanade , rapidly assembled a multi-geographic team to align data strategy to Wizz Air ’ s operational ambitions . “ We saw a huge opportunity to help improve data accessibility and trustworthiness – and accelerate the time it took to generate high-value insights from that data ,” said Grogan .
Accelerating data and better decisions
A delay in data availability meant Wizz Air ’ s systems and people couldn ’ t act quickly
enough to make time and cost-saving decisions . With data now streamed to a modern Azure Data Platform , Avanade helped the airline unify and accelerate data value for near-real-time visibility into nearly every aspect of operations : from on-thefly decisions to staffing models to tweaks to flight paths that save fuel . Every incremental operational improvement meant reduced waste , reduced down-time , and ultimately , lower cost for Wizz Air customers .
Better green outcomes and beyond
Wizz Air aspires to be the greenest airline in the industry . By moving to Azure , the world ’ s greenest cloud , Wizz Air can immediately lower its carbon footprint , and scale its data and analytical processing in a responsible way .
“ We ’ re proud of the data-driven culture we ’ ve helped develop with Wizz Air ,” said Grogan . “ I ’ m thrilled to say we ’ re only getting started .”
Nadas said , “ Data projects are easy to dream and hard to deliver . And that ’ s why partners like Avanade are really what make this possible .”
