Seamless Transition to AMOS: Successful Data Migration for TAP Air Portugal

Roland Berger and CrossConsense GmbH & Co. KG (CrossConsense) are proud to announce 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—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.

  • Leading the joint TAP-CC-RB Project Management Office with end-to-end delivery responsibility
  • Implementing robust governance frameworks for efficient decision-making and risk management

CrossConsense’s Contribution:
The technical execution, not only of the data migration itself but also of other activities related to data migration, was managed by CrossConsense, leveraging its deep knowledge of aviation IT systems. CrossConsense’s tasks included:

  • Establishing the data migration strategy and ensuring accurate data conversion within the defined scope.
  • Conducting thorough data cleanup to maintain consistency, accuracy, and quality.
  • Preparing and migrating data, alongside supporting End-to-End automated testing and rectifying any issues.
  • Conducting comprehensive User Acceptance Testing to ensure the system meets all business requirements and user expectations.

Setting up and configuring interfaces to ensure seamless integration with existing systems and workflows.

Achieving such a complex migration within a tight timeline underscores the power of effective partnership and coordination. Both Roland Berger and CrossConsense would like to thank TAP Air Portugal for their trust and cooperation throughout the project.
