Our airBIOlogic reporting platform is the result of more than 6 years of extensive research, development and validation efforts conducted in live airline environment. We faced successes and failures on our path towards the delivery of what is now a highly mature, reliable and proven solution. The following list describes the current key features and will regularly be updated to reflect latest evolutions.
Critical to the success and sustainability of our approach, original system design and architecture were coached and reviewed by Microsoft Strategy advisors to ensure current & future accuracy, performance, scalability and reliability needs. With a properly layered and modular structure, we are ready to safely leverage the latest technologies along a smooth, non-disruptive path.
Microsoft BeLux appraised our work in leveraging and assembling their technology stack to be remarkable and creative enough to be put on stage during their Convention 2004 (presentation available directly from Microsoft here ).
