ABSTRACT
Operational information management is at a crossroads as it sheds the remaining vestiges of its paper-based processes and moves through the uncharted domain of electronic data processes. The final outcome is not yet in full focus, but real progress has been made in the transition to electronic documents providing the aviation industry with the first steps in the right direction. This book looks at a combination of industry initiatives and airline successes that point to the next steps that operators can take as they transition to a fully integrated information management system. Although the route has not been fully identified, it is evident that the key to successful long-term efficient information management is industry-wide cooperation.
