Singapore Aero Engine Services Private Limited (SAESL), the world’s largest MRO facility for the Rolls-Royce Trent engines, has partnered with Kyndryl, IT Infrastructure services provider.
Kyndryl will modernise SAESL’s digital infrastructure, deliver automated service desk management across the multichannel, and integrate comprehensive security solutions to enhance organisation-wide cybersecurity and resilience.
Currently, about 30% of the world’s Rolls-Royce Trent engines come through SAESL, powering aircraft such as the Airbus A330, A340, A350, and A380, as well as the Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliner. With airlines gearing up to meet the rapidly resurgent air travel demand, a digital-ready and future-proof SAESL is poised to clinch an even bigger market share.
“SAESL has experienced tremendous growth in the past 20 years,” said Simon Middlebrough, CEO of SAESL. “As the world’s largest MRO shop for Rolls-Royce Trent engines with a customer base spanning six continents, we are continuously looking beyond the status quo for further growth and improvement. This partnership to drive digital innovation will allow us to leverage Kyndryl’s expertise to further strengthen our IT infrastructure, streamline, and automate our processes and ultimately improve our productivity and operational efficiency,”
Kyndryl will shift from the company’s current managed services portfolio to an advanced model characterised by intelligence and automation.
SAESL will also have full access to the Automation catalogue in Kyndryl GitHub’s repositories with a wide spectrum of readily available automation assets for supported products and technologies.
A multichannel approach will be adopted to improve end user experience. This includes the deployment of Kyndryl Service Desk Integrated Cloud Contact Centre (ICCC) platform that enables centralisation and standardisation of cloud infrastructure for more efficient contact centre management and true virtualisation of service desk agents within the Kyndryl environment and a dedicated communications channel for urgent IT issues.
The partnership with SAESL will also include access to a broad range of security services and solutions from Kyndryl which covers all key cybersecurity aspects – from people to processes and technology. A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is made available for SAESL to help with developing and managing the implementation of the organisation’s security programme. Leveraging Microsoft’s Azure Sentinel, Kyndryl will implement an automated Security Operation Centre (SOC) that would deliver intelligent security response and analytics to SAESL.
“Modernising and managing mission-critical systems is at the centre of what we do at Kyndryl, and we are pleased to bring this expertise to help SAESL accelerate its digital transformation,” said Gina Wong, Managing Director, Kyndryl Singapore.
