Why Going Systems

People who have taken airport systems from design to bid to go‑live, now on your side of the table

  • Independent

    Our recommendations are built on your business case. The advice is the product.

  • Ability to execute

    Our people have designed, priced, bid, compared and delivered airport systems. The plan works because it already has.

  • Senior practitioners

    Each engagement is led by the principal best matched to it. The people you meet are the people who do the work.

  • Built to be run

    We design for decisions that hold up in the business case, in procurement and in daily operation, long after the day of award.

More on ability to execute

Who we work with

Operators and authorities choosing the systems. Vendors and suppliers building and bidding for them

Airport operators and authorities

You are choosing, buying or replacing systems that the airport will run for a decade, and the people selling them have done this many more times than you have.

We bring that knowledge to your side of the table: requirements, architecture, business case, evaluation, negotiation and delivery.

Airport technology vendors and suppliers

You are entering a market, localising a product, pricing a deal or writing a bid, and the outcome depends on judgement that takes years to build.

We give you the presence in Asia Pacific and the Middle East that winning here takes: market entry, localisation, pricing and bids, and the people on the ground once contracts are won.

For vendors and suppliers

What we do

Technology, delivery and the commercial deal, handled by one team

  • Airport systems and technology

    We design the systems an airport runs on: solution design, target architecture and technical advice, vendor-neutral and localisation-aware.

  • Programme management

    We run the programme from the first decision to a system in service: requirements, procurement, vendor management and delivery governance.

  • Strategy and commercial

    We shape the deal behind the technology decision: market entry, localisation, pricing, business cases and bids.

More on what we do

Where we join you

One direction of travel. We join wherever you are

Every airport technology decision moves through the same stages, whether you are buying a system or selling one. Going Systems joins at the stage you are at and stays as long as the work needs.

  1. Where you are

    Brief

    You have a question, and it needs framing before anyone acts on it.

    You leave with a short written brief that frames the work, whoever does it.

  2. Where you are

    Assess

    You need the options, costs and risks laid out.

    You leave with an assessment with options, costs, risks and a recommendation.

  3. Where you are

    Decide

    You are choosing: business case, requirements, RFP, evaluation, bid.

    You leave with decision documents you own and can defend internally.

  4. Where you are

    Deliver

    You are implementing, and it has to work on the day of go-live, and for many years after.

    You leave with a system in service, built to still be running years after go-live.

Where we join you

This week, Going Systems goes to Passenger Terminal Expo Asia

Passenger Terminal Expo Asia opens this week at Marina Bay Sands: the first regional edition of a show that has run in Europe for three decades, with Changi Airport Group as host partner. Going Systems is Singapore based. We are stepping onto the floor with a plan: find the operators and authorities weighing a systems decision, find the vendors and suppliers building their case for Asia Pacific, and start the conversation while the show is live.
