According to IBM, the Dallas-based airline will be using the company's integrated portfolio of software products, including WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Personalization, WebSphere Portal Server, WebSphere Studio, MQSeries Integrator, MQSeries Workflow and VisualAge for Java.

Southwest will be leveraging the WebSphere platform to transform and integrate business processes including crew management and communications, flight operations, aircraft maintenance and other mission-critical applications.
