Cisco Aviation Innovation Forum
To meet increasing demands, today’s airline industry is relying on technology more than ever before to improve safety, security, and service while also growing market share. Cisco is bringing together fellow CIOs, Head of Strategy and Aviation of the major airports across Australia to network, share common challenges and begin a journey of innovation with Cisco as the innovation partner as part of the National Industry Innovation Network. This ongoing initiative is seeking to address the key aviation challenges of Asset Productivity, Profitability, Risk Mitigation, Customer Experience and looks to pursue growth opportunities. With Security measures, budget cuts, consolidations, rising passenger expectations, and federal mandates requiring improved operational efficiencies, reduced costs, and new revenue streams for airports and airlines, Cisco is well placed as a technology vendor to partner with our Australia Airports.
