Azul worked with the Oracle partner TQI to implement Oracle WebCenter Sites, succeeding in gathering all of the site’s key information onto a single platform.

- Gathered all of the Web site’s key information onto a single platform, facilitating its daily and constant updating, whereas the information was previously spread among at least three IT environments and had to go through a complex process to be made available online to customers
- Reduced time needed to update banners and other Web site content from an average of 48 hours to less than five minutes
- Simplified the flight ticket sales process thanks to tool flexibility that enabled the company to improve Website usability
