The Frame Group, an Australian technology services company, announced that it had completed a 20-year ICT infrastructure plan for Melbourne Airport- which is owned by Australia Pacific Airports Corporation Limited. The ICT strategy was distilled into four separate strategic plans covering: data centre, network and systems infrastructure, applications and disaster planning.
A key requirement of the strategy was to identify how to consolidate ICT services across tenants and airlines in order to reduce the cost of operating at Melbourne Airport. To do this, Frame developed an enterprise service provider (ESP) framework: putting the focus on managing services (like wireless and email) rather than their infrastructure components in isolation (servers, routers). The model supports the organisation’s desire to consolidate and centralise business functions. And with the accompanying financial model, the Airport is able to attribute costs to services and to normalise capital expenditure with operations expenditure.
