Hobart Airport selects rapidsuite for enhanced FIDS

Hobart's decision to replace their existing FIDS system hinged on the requirement for greater flexibility in terms of both functionality and future systems integration - rapidsuite is the same system that drives some of the worlds largest airports providing many options for advanced features and functionality out of the box. 

"As a site with an existing FIDS for some years it's always inherently more difficult to convert over - planning and testing was crucial. However it's also an excellent opportunity to work with the customer and show them the latest technologies that bring new ideas and improved ways to handle tasks etc." commented Richard Allen, Intersystems Services Manager, Asia Pacific.

"Whilst we had a couple of minor unforeseen issues transitioning over to our system, it was nothing the team couldn't resolve quickly prior to cutover."

rapidsuite drives both Hobart's Flight Information Display System (FIDS) and their integrated digital advertising via rapidfids and rapidengage respectively, however rapidsuite has the ability to be easily expanded to include other apps within the suite such as an airport operational database, a resource management system or a airport commercial information system - all of which provide Hobart with unique abilities to optimise operations and revenue streams.
