Manchester Airports Group (MAG) has chosen Capgemini to provide an enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform as part of a one-year contract.

MAG is the country’s largest UK-owned airport operator, controlling four airports – Stansted, Bournemouth, East Midlands and Manchester – and serving roughly 48 million passengers every year. Capgemini will be upgrading MAG’s IT capability so that the group can continue to efficiently serve its growing customer base.

The deal is part of a larger transformation for MAG, which includes the use of a geographical information system (GIS) provided by Esri.

Garry Dowdle, CIO at MAG, commented: "The ERP transformation programme is at the core of MAG's IT strategy and will provide finance, human resources, and procurement with the right processes, data and technology for the job, delivering a step change in the user experience, and helping to make MAG a great place to work.”
