Roland Berger and CrossConsense announced the successful completion of a complex data migration project for TAP Air Portugal (TAP), marking a significant milestone in aviation IT modernization. Over a span of just 16 months, the migration involved transitioning TAP’s entire data repository from its legacy MRO backend system to AMOS, the renowned maintenance and engineering software developed by Swiss AviationSoftware. The project was officially kicked off on June 1, 2023, and achieved its go-live milestone on September 30, 2024 — calling it “a remarkable achievement for a project of this scale and complexity.”
The success of the initiative reflects the seamless collaboration between TAP Air Portugal, Roland Berger and CrossConsense, combining strategic oversight with technical expertise to ensure on-time delivery and data quality excellence.
