Awarded a 5-Year contract to implement a complete Human Resource Management System including Payroll and Rostering at Cyprus Airways in consortium with Logicom Solutions Ltd, Cyprus.
Megabyte Ltd, a leading ICT and Professional Services company based in Mosta, MALTA has today announced the recent signature of a consortium agreement with Logicom Solutions Ltd of Cyprus, for the provision of a Human Resource, Rostering and Payroll system to Cyprus Airways.

Implementation will take place over a twenty-four month period. The whole solution is scheduled to go live by early 2012 and, upon commissioning, the consortium partners will be responsible to provide full maintenance and support services for their respective deliverables.
