(Alliance News) - Datalex PLC on Friday said it will partner with Aer Lingus Ltd to offer the airline a new digital transformation platform.

The Dublin-based software company, which specialises in digital retail technology for the airline market, said it will provide Aer Lingus with full access to its latest cloud-based, platform products and capabilities.

Other product enhancements include improvements of self-service options through the airline's website and its mobile apps, said Datalex.

"All of these enhancements will ensure continued scalability and reliability, and continuous focus of removal of legacy technology in favour of a future-proofed solution. This will also form the basis for the future towards an offers & orders transition pathway, reducing legacy technology reliance, whilst prioritising new scalable products, to achieve a fully connected customer experience," Datalex said.

Datalex on Friday also announced an extension to an already-existing partnership with Aer Lingus for a further five years.

Aer Lingus is part of the International Consolidated Airlines Group SA and is based in Dublin.

Datalex Chief Executive Officer Sean Corkery said: "This is a milestone in our partnership with Aer Lingus as we provide an extensive digital transformation plan to future-proof one of our longest-standing airline customers for the long haul. With a transaction model now implemented, both companies will now be fully aligned in achieving growth through digital, and we will both benefit from this growth. We look forward to being an essential part of this digital transformation project."

Shares in Datalex were untraded at 0.585 pence each in London on Friday morning.
