FRAPORT AG
A strategy for digital airport transformation The final pillar that was mentioned by Standhaft was ‘ strategy ’. This is where all of the technical innovations come together for Fraport , along with a multitude of partnerships , including SAP , Microsoft , and other national and international partners .
Standhaft says : “ We have well-established outsourcing partners we are working with , and we are currently in the process of setting up new ecosystems that we will roll out for international partners in the application arena where we have not focused before .” He also explains what the future looks like for the organisation , following the devastation of the pandemic .
“ We are looking forward to forming this new ecosystem in order to get more support for the speedy rollout of new technology in the best interest of the airport .”
“ We heavily reduced our headcount , and now we have to optimise our processes ,” he says , as he discusses Fraport ’ s strategy for future airport development .
“ It ' s about all the things we discussed so far : new technology , getting more agile , getting closer to the customer , but in order to focus on the main things , the key thing for airports is to ramp up after the crisis , which fortunately we ’ re already seeing in early-2022 .”
Now , the industry is in a critical period of recovery : Fraport ’ s IT team is supporting its internal and external customers through digital transformation and allowing them to ramp up their operations , helping welcome more and more travellers at optimal capacity .
“ The ramp-up is supported by everybody in the IT organisation . That means we have as many stable , well-running systems that we can provide , which supports the increasing number of passengers that we expect to see in the course of 2022 .” technologymagazine . com 211
