VEOCI – Digital 2.0: The New Paradigm

The Re-Think in Aviation

Aviation is a dynamic industry. Innovation and rethinks are the norm. On the other hand, Covid 19 has threatened the very survival of Aviation. The warning signs preceded the pandemic. In India, Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways went bust and Government run Air India has been looking for buyers. Losses in the industry mount to billions of dollars and Airlines and airport operators have needed healthy doses of government support to remain functional. With plunging revenues, Airport and Airline operators have had to think out of the box and come up with innovative ideas that translate into cost saving and survival. This Re-Think now extends to every employee and needs to be a part of a daily calendar across all levels.

The re-think is centred on cutting cost, being nimble and innovative without compromising any safety concerns. In rapidly changing circumstances, the inability to reposition resources and assets in double quick time can be disastrous.

Hence Digital 2.0 and Digital Transformation. This means adopting platforms to rationalise and consolidate software applications and moving from legacy high-cost silos and standalone systems to platform based agile no-code models that allow for rapid deployment and meet the challenges of the continuous disruptions resulting from Covid 19. The Future is Digital and Covid has accelerated digital adoption more than any research or consultant advice. In retrospect, the 2020s will be synonymous with business rethinking and digital transformation.

Going Digital moves thousands of users to systems that can be designed and launched at scale to quickly leverage business insights from the most experienced business resources. Digital does away with the need for on-premise company owned infrastructure or expensive licenses and expensive contracts to teams of IT consultants and coders. The NOCODE platform facilitates this.

One example of going Digital would be Work From Home. WFH is now a way of life and companies successfully met the challenges of moving infrastructure and security systems from offices to homes of employees. The office models of the future will make this a default and hybrid models will include continued WFH.

An Aviation Industry example of a Digital 2.0 paradigm are Veoci Airport Runway Solutions. Keeping runways operational and compliant with FAA Part 139/Annex 14 regulations is an integral part of Airport Operations. Non-Functional Runways and Connectors immediately lead to an immediate financial loss to the Airport Operator. By using a comprehensive Veoci module on Airside Inspections, the Airport management gets a clear real time view of each inspection and the status of the maintenance follow-up, saving valuable downtime and scheduling repairs to low traffic periods.

While digital was “a nice to have “concept pre Covid every company now needs to have a focused digital strategy to meet business goals.
