ARINC Managed Services Introduces Airport-Centric Staffing Division

Posted on: Monday, 25 September 2006, 18:00 CDT

How can airport managers improve their speed-to-hire and fill urgent IT staff vacancies faster? ARINC Managed Services (AMS) today introduced an answer: an airport IT staffing unit dedicated to filling technology positions at airports on a temporary, short-term, or permanent basis.

AMS will discuss the details of its new Staffing offering at the 2006 Airports Council International-North America Conference in Reno, NV. A press conference is planned for 9:00 am September 26, 2006 in ARINC Booth #1217.

"Among all our customers--government, aviation, or corporate--we realized airports have a critical need to quickly fill an IT vacancy when it occurs," stated Jim L. Martin, ARINC Managed Services Senior Director. "Many good potential employees simply aren't trained on airport-specific systems. We intend to fill that gap with AMS Staffing, and to become the resource of choice for the airport industry's IT staffing needs."

AMS Staffing can work with airport IT management or outside IT support and service companies, in effect providing scalable IT staff resources as required. This provides the flexibility that is often needed in the implementation of IT projects and enables project continuity when staff fluctuations occur. AMS Staffing is an ideal option for surge-related work, such as special projects that require staff quickly for a short period of time, but not on a permanent basis.

AMS Staffing is aware that the costs associated with bringing new airport IT staff up to speed are unrecoverable. Today it is more important than ever for IT directors to locate properly trained and qualified technicians and engineers. As an IT staffing and vendor management provider, AMS Staffing successfully fills government and commercial IT positions supporting a multitude of technologies, and places only the most qualified professionals with customers.

"AMS Staffing knows airports well, because they have supported AMS on all of our airport Service-Level Agreements. We have simply decided to make AMS Staffing expertise available directly to the industry," added Martin.

AMS Staffing will source experienced IT personnel for any airport--whether or not the airport is a customer of ARINC Managed Services.
