Cost Aviation for Process and Management Consulting INFORM is pleased to present a new collaborative venture that is of major benefit to both companies that want to implement the GroundStar system as well as to existing GroundStar customers. Cost Aviation, a part of Stuttgart Airport, offers to airports, ground handlers and airlines worldwide the know-how of its operational experts and its more than seven years experience with GroundStar. The consulting team focuses on the analysis and improvement of organizational, resource, process and service management and, in cooperation with INFORM, the company helps to make the most of GroundStar’s intelligent system support. “For many companies the change management process involved in the implementation of a resource management application is a major issue that presents a long-lasting practical learning process. We have been through all these stages and in addition benefit from the knowledge of an airport operator so we are able to let other GroundStar users take advantage of this experience,” says Mr. Wolfgang Müller, Partner at Cost Aviation. Thomas Schmidt, Director INFORM Airport Division, states: “In my eyes this partnership is a perfect symbiosis that allows our clients to maximize cost savings and improve efficiency. While we focus on the implementation and integration of our GroundStar Modules, Cost Aviation supports the client with the review of the related business processes around GroundStar and deals with the change management process.” Another important aspect of the partnership is that, by doing airport simulations and benchmarking, Cost Aviation is able to identify costs and potential for cost savings, and in this way helps to generate fast pay-back. INFORM and Cost Aviation already have proven success of their cooperation on the international stage. This combination of consulting services and IT know-how ensures sustainable improvements. It is a partnership that combines the unique strengths of both parties to develop new integrated services for the aviation industry.

A product of the then Logistics Systems Division of INFORM, initially implemented for a single area of Fraport’s operation, grew over time to cover more and more areas. >> |
