Report
Summary
The Aviation Department's Technology Division manages technology-related projects for the City's Airport System. Much of the operations of the airport depends on efficient use of technology and the implementation of new applications, systems, and automated workflow systems. Large scale systems require meticulous planning in requirement definition, vendor selection, implementation, testing, and production execution. Technology functions must be managed by airport technology systems experts with a strong project management focus to achieve the strategic goals of the Airport. Phoenix Sky Harbor implements a large number of technology projects that require a dedicated team of airport-centric program management consultants specializing in the implementation of IT projects. Consultants are expected to provide the Aviation Department with a high level of expertise and support.
