Since beginning its journey with Lufthansa Group in 2017 , technology consulting firm LTIMindtree has positioned itself as one of the group ’ s key partners

A new kind of technology consulting firm , LTIMindtree helps businesses transform – from core to experience – to thrive in the marketplace of the future .

Headquartered in Mumbai , India , LTIMindtree has nearly 90,000 IT professionals and works for about 700 clients worldwide .

Today , LTIMindtree is working with all subsidiaries of the Lufthansa Group . But , as Klaus Seifert , Regional Vice President and Head of Germany , explains , the journey started in 2017 with a highly successful data and analytics project .

“ The project was about developing a predictive analytics system to properly forecast the demand and optimise the seat pricing for the airline ,” Seifert comments .

From there the relationship between Lufthansa Group and LTIMindtree has evolved , with the consulting firm helping Lufthansa Cargo on its cloud journey and later on taking over cloud operations for the AirPlus and Sky Chefs part of the group .

As with countless businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic , LTIMindtree was also able to help Lufthansa Group come up with new solutions to scale the business .

“ One part of Lufthansa was running extremely well , the cargo side ,” Seifert explains . “ But the travel side went down . We helped Lufthansa to downscale on one side and become more agile on the other side , where new solutions were needed to cope with demand . That really brought us together in a partnership .”

“ At LTIMindtree , we have a long history in travel , transportation and hospitality ,” concludes Seifert . “ At the same time , our focus on the client experience , customer experience , data analytics , and the cloud journeys are positioning us well as a future strategic partner to advise Lufthansa for their strategies in the cloud , and also for their development of migration strategies .”
