MASKARGO CUTS OVER TO CLOUD-BASED LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) -- MAB Kargo Sdn Bhd (MASkargo) has
successfuly cut over to Unisys' cloud-based Logistics Management System (LMS) to
manage its domestic and international cargo services to replace its legacy cargo
management system.

MASkargo said all of its core system functions from the previous mainframe-based system were transitioned to the LMS and the cutover included 

customisations to integrate with the carrier's automated warehouse system.

 In a statement today, MASkargo Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Luqman Mohd
Azmi said due to the nature of the company's daily operations, a heavy-duty
system that is accessible system-wide is needed.

"Being a cloud-based system, it will enable us to access regular updates and
enhancements in the future.

"The Internet-based system provides global access in a direct and
cost-efficient manner and enables users to make reservations anytime and
anywhere based on controls built into the system," he said.

Unisys Vice President Logistics Solutions Christopher Shawdon said LMS is
used by leading airlines worldwide to manage their air cargo business.

The cloud-based delivery model allows airlines to reduce costs compared to
running traditional software systems, and speeds the pace of change as
enhancements are deployed each month for all clients, said Shawdon.

The cloud model also helps members work collaboratively on developments, he
added.

MASkargo is the cargo division of Malaysia Airlines Bhd, and processes
approximately 1.5 million master and house air waybills per year.

 It is the largest ground handling agent in Kuala Lumpur and acts as the
agent for more than 30 foreign airlines at its Advanced Cargo Centre to accept,
process and deliver cargo shipments which are carried on foreign carriers'
flights.
