AirportNow® – it’s ServiceNow built for Airports

AirportNow® is a cutting-edge service management solution designed specifically for airports.

Airports represent a traditional wide-area campus, but with the additional complication of areas with restricted access, lengthy travel between terminals and short restoration time for failed equipment. With ESP’s unique, out-of-the-box AirportNow solution, one click connects the incident to the nearest engineer, enabling proactive response, reducing time to repair, and ensuring resolution within expected SLAs in the airport environment.

Powered by ESP’s 32+ years of expertise in the aviation industry, AirportNow revolutionises IT support, streamlines operations, and ensures your airport’s systems stay running smoothly.

A SINGLE PANE OF GLASS FOR THE ENTIRE TEAM

JFKIAT implements ESP’s AirportNow IT service management solution

With a diverse ecosystem of systems supporting terminal operations, safety, security, and back-office functions, JFKIAT recognized the need for an advanced, centralized IT service management solution. Through collaboration with ESP, JFKIAT implemented AirportNow, a powerful IT Service Management (ITSM) platform, to streamline processes, improve visibility, and enable efficient incident management across its infrastructure.

The single biggest win for the JFKIAT ‘IT & Digital’ management team has just been a single pane of glass for the entire team to be able to view, manage, and report on their respective IT Service domains. It provides us the ability to standardize our approach to Incident/Service Management based on ITIL principles. Having everything in a centralized repository provides us the ability to access usable data and build dashboards to visualize things such as daily ticket volumes, ticket volume by IT Service, ticket volume by time of day, etc. These data insights have helped us develop new preventative maintenance schedules based on trend analysis, augment staffing to meeting peak passenger volumes during the day and to be able to monitor ESP plus 3rd party adherence to contractual SLAs.

At JFKIAT, we always seek to identify strategic partners and not just a service provider. As the program has matured, we have developed a collaborative operating model that has worked well for both organizations and has really shifted ESP from service provider to a trusted technology partner.
