The term Business Intelligence (BI) indicates a new type of systems aimed at providing users with information to track and analyze corporate trends and to explore new opportunities. The term BI has a broader functional meaning than the underlying architectures (Data Warehouse, Data mart, DSS, EIS, etc.) and underlines the business-driven nature of these systems. The new Business Intelligence technologies have now played a decisive role in the search for the competitiveness of companies. To face these new challenges of the information society, Software Design has dedicated a line of development for decision support solutions in the airport world, in order to:

– to valorise airport resources through an optimized use that arises from the integrated analysis of historical data;
– improve airport profitability through detailed analysis of passenger flows and identification of the choices that involve maximum passenger traffic;
– improve communication between operators and company management.

Software Design, integrating the domain expertise in the world of transport and the tools of Business Intelligence, is able to translate the strategic objectives and functional policies into operational solutions integrating processes, data and technologies, giving rise to systems for identifying, measuring and monitoring the indicators over time, and allowing the dissemination of information both inside and outside
