by the honourable Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh

Ltd. on 9th February 2007 at the NASSCOM IT Leadership Forum.
The Award recognizes
Kale’s innovation in creating a Platform Based BPO business
model for the Airline and Travel industry. Kale’s portfolio
of revenue accounting solutions provides clients the benefits
of transformation as well as outsourcing of their processes
in a simple compelling value proposition. It is a path breaking
innovation not only for the airline industry but for the Indian
IT and ITeS industry. Kale’s revenue accounting portfolio
have won wide industry acceptance with over 35 airline customers
including 10 of the top 20 global airlines .
Kale’s platform based solution
integrates business process outsourcing along with “best
of breed” software - REVERA™ and APEX™.
This unique combination helps airline and cargo companies
tackle accounting inefficiencies due to inaccurate audit trails,
revenue leakages, and lack of timely information. It enhances
service levels, while simultaneously reducing cost. Moreover,
it relieves customers from the headache of managing application
software, hardware, people knowledge and productivity, quality,
security and business continuity processes. In essence it
enables airlines to do the very important function of revenue
accounting in a very different way that is easier, faster,
better and at lesser cost.
Speaking
on the occasion Mr. Vipul Jain averred that, “It
is a huge honour to be presented the NASSCOM IT Innovation
Award by our honourable Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.
I would like to thank NASSCOM and my peers from the industry
for the recognition. This Award belongs to my entire team
at Kale who have shared the dream and worked very hard and
very diligently for this achievement.“
Mr.
Jain further added that, “This award is a sign
of things to come at Kale. We are very excited by the enormous
customer value that is created when you use technology to
simplify and improve processes and combine that with global
outsourcing to reduce cost and implement quality systems.
With our sharp industry focus, deep domain knowledge and solution
mind set, we are uniquely positioned to deliver this value.
We have won the Award for the work done in the Revenue Accounting
space, but the concept is applicable to many domains in the
wider Travel and Transport Industry. We will continue our
innovation journey with increased energy and vigor.”
