Hexaware's new Solution to Enable Airline Passengers to Download Bar Coded Boarding Passes on Mobile Phones

MUMBAI, India, November 18 - Hexaware Technologies, a leading global provider of IT & BPO
services and consulting, today announced the launch of the QwikCheck Bar
Coded Boarding Passes (BCBP) solution. The solution will help generate two
dimensional (2D) Bar-coded boarding passes. This ready to use solution can be
easily integrated with any existing Departure Control System (DCS) system
used by an airline, to enhance the web and mobile check-in facilities offered
to passengers.

BCBP is one of the initiatives mandated by International Air
Transport Association's (IATA) Board of Governors under the Simplifying the
Business (StB) program to reduce costs and enhance passenger experience. A 2D
bar code replaces the magnetic strips as defined in the Automated Ticket and
Boarding Pass Version 2 (ATB2) standard. All IATA member airlines have to be
100% BCBP compliant by the end of 2010.

"While Qwikcheck will enable a 40% reduction in equipment
replacement costs for airlines significantly reducing the check-in time and
associated costs, it will enhance the flyer's overall experience with the
airlines. The solution enables passengers to generate home printed or mobile
boarding passes thus avoiding long queues. It helps airlines and airports
reduce paper costs by 100%. As a strategic business partner of IATA, we at
Hexaware constantly work on providing solutions to reduce the cost of
operation," said Yogendra Shah, Global Head - Travel Transportation
Hospitality and Logistics (TTHL), Hexaware Technologies Ltd.

Hexaware's QwikCheck solution is built upon layered service
oriented architecture (SOA) for seamless integration with the existing DCS
system. It also supports all modes of check-in processes including Web
Check-in, Kiosk Check-in and Mobile Check-in. It gives passengers the option
to print their boarding passes at home, and then proceed to the baggage
drop-off or directly to the gate using one document for the entire journey,
even on a multi-segment itinerary, further simplifying the travel process for
the passenger.

Due to the IATA mandate, airlines will have to invest in a
BCBP solution and ensure that they upgrade the existing DCS so that it can
issue and read BCBP.

Hexaware has over 4000 person years experience in the airline
domain and services 8 of the top 20 international airlines and leading
product vendors.
