InterSystems has over 30 years of experience in the airport industry and is now offering the fourth generation of its software products to our any customers worldwide. InterSystems is the only truly global supplier of Airport Operational Databases (AODBs); our offices are strategically placed in the United States, Australia and The Netherlands and our solutions are installed on all continents.

InterSystems offers RapidAIMS, an innovative, revolutionary AODB capable of incorporating every aspect of terminal management in a secure, maintainable, easy-to-use, customized framework. RapidAIMS integrates current and future systems, with its flexible interface and customizable modular design. RapidAIMS is configured to meet the specific needs of any airport. Its open architecture will grow and expand as the airport grows, transforms and reaches its potential.

RapidAIMS accumulates data from a multitude of sources both inside and outside the airport, for the operational planning and management of the airport terminal. This data is then analyzed and distributed to the many operational sectors inside the airport and broadcast outside the airport to provide passengers with accessible and up-to-date information.

For example, selected data can be distributed to various automated systems, such as RapidFIDS (Flight Information Display Solution) and/or can be summarized and reported to other groups in the airport, such as terminal retail tenants. Data can also be posted on information websites, television stations, dynamic displays in hotels and train stations, or to automated voice information systems. Since RapidAIMS is an integrated modular Solution that can be merged with new and existing information technologies, the possibilities are essentially limitless.

The designers at InterSystems have anticipated the future by designing RapidAIMS with a wide range of capabilities, including the ability to interface with a variety of external systems. In other words, RapidAIMS has not only anticipated the challenges of today but is also prepared to meet the challenges still beyond the horizon.
