It is the main source of information for movement and control messages for dnata Airport Operations. The main functions performed by DMIS are as follows:

v  Flight schedules - Flight Schedules for all airlines serviced by dnata Airport Operations in Dubai are maintained in DMIS.

v  DMIS captures operational data such as Estimated Time of Arrival & Departure, Actual Time of Arrival & Departure, Flight Delay Information, Short Finals [flight landing in ten minutes], Aircraft Registration Numbers etc.

v  Movement Messages (MVT) that convey information on delay in flights, movement of flights from one bay to the other etc. are generated through system and are sent to a registered address in the system for further processing.

v  Special Handling requests such as Wheel chair, Lift-O-Mobile [Equipment to lift wheel chair if the aircraft is not parked near aerobridge] etc. are captured in DMIS via messages sent by the airline.

v  Inadmissible passenger (Deportee) details are captured in DMIS. dnata works closely with the immigration authority and the Police to handle Inadmissible passengers. DMIS provides the facility to store scanned documents and communicates with Airlines to support Inadmissible passenger processing.

v  Management  Information - DMIS provides reports for functions such as flight schedules, special handling, aircraft handling etc.

v  The users of DMIS are as follows: Flight Scheduling Officer, Flight Control Supervisor, System Support Supervisors,

Engineering Services, Customer Services, Load control, Baggage Services etc.

v  DMIS has 40+ Interfaces inbound and outbound with different systems.

CAMS (Customer Asset Management System)

v  It is a state-of-the-art application, designed for a highly competitive banking & financial services industry, offering a

complete automated business process solution for “bank loan processing and management.” CAMS has been a pioneer in the local market since 2001. In its 12 years of existence in the banking industry of Pakistan, CAMS has been deployed in and used by some of the top banks in Pakistan, including ABL, MCB, and NBP.

v  CAMS provides a one-stop solution for an end-to-end management of loan based products. However the modular approach provided by CAMS enables a bank to deploy a single module for a set of products or complete suite across the bank’s complete assets portfolio. This is possible through the system's independent yet integrated set of modules: Loan Origination System, Loan Management System and Loan Collection System.

v  It has been managed, enhanced and supported by a highly competent team of experienced bankers and techno-

        functional consultants, with extensive domain knowledge of the industry.

Marketing, Production & Purchase. In future it can be extended to other departments as well such as Yarn, Grey Processing, Stitching, Finance etc.

v  The most important feature about this system is that it only takes Buyer’s P.O as an input and then

        All other work is nearly self generated.

v  This system generates Order Sheet, Consumption Sheet, Sales Contract, Process Order, Stitching

Program, Purchase Requisition / Material Requirement, Purchase Order, Purchase Follow Up & Planning / Goods Receive Note.
