title: Brussels Airport June 2007

message:

Brussels Airport Company is the renowned Belgian international airport. The Australian investment fund Macquerie holds 70% of the shares since 2004.  Partly due to this investment and partly driven by their wish to improve efficiency in a very competitive airport market, Brussels Airport decided early 2007 to re-automate their services.  A tender for professional services was won by CARE Consulting - management consultants from Hasselt Belgium.

The activities of Brussels Airport are very diverse : rental parkings, rental shop floors, rental advertising space, landing rights, flueling services, check-in desks and more. The processes are both complex and unique and needed integration and automation. CARE Consulting's study has been instrumental in the make-or-buy decision. All company processes were described in a blueprint, after which re-engineering consults took place. A request for proposal  of the Brussels Airport processes enabled an objective selection of the best fitting software. The selection of software solution and implementor were approved by the Board of Directors in August 2007.  The professional services of CARE Consulting position Brussels Airport in a perfect situation with budget security, contractual assurance and more efficient company processes.
