This will also allow the airport to shift its strategy from hindsight to foresight, predictive to prescriptive, and improve future decision-making processes.
The solution, which will be hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, will tap Azure capabilities such as Azure HDInsight, SQL Data Warehouse, Azure Machine Learning and Azure Advanced Data Analytics services.
Unisys Asia Pacific vice-president and managing director Tony Windever said: “This strategic collaboration leverages Unisys’ deep domain expertise and digital transformation capabilities, like the Analytics Center of Excellence, to create a more agile, predictive business model for travel and transportation customers.”
