Delta Airlines wants to outsource to cut costs

Delta Air Lines has requested a bankruptcy judge to let them outsource the work to manage their computer systems.

The airline company wants IBM Corp to look after their computer networks as they claim it would help them save substantially on the costs.

Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton declined to reveal on how much the company expects to save if the courts allow them to outsource this work to IBM.

However, such a decision would affect as many as 200 workers in the company. Delta said in a statement: “The agreement will allow Delta to take advantage of IBM’s computer expertise so that Delta can focus its restructuring efforts on air transportation, and entering into and performing under the agreement will lead to cost savings for Delta.”
