Cloud computing is a fundamental shift in the model of how IT is provided. In Nicholas Carr’s The Big Switch, he compares the development of cloud computing to the evolution of the modern electric utility grid 100 years ago,when companies moved from locally generated electricity within factories and regional areas to centralised generation and distribution.

This instigated a chain reaction of economic and social transformations leading to today’s modern world. A similar revolution is now under way in IT, thanks to the cloud. This migration is facilitating a shift in the mind-set of travel providers. It is the first wave of web-based, utility services and products.

And it is not just that the technology is ripe for a movement to the cloud; there are a number of economic benefits to a centralised model. While each airport is different in terms of their unique priorities, many of these benefits can be applied to airports across the board.
