rapidsuite
designed
rapidfids has been designed as part of the larger rapidsuite. rapidsuite’s foundation modules provide a well-defined set of interfaces and services for controlling user authentication, data access, storage, security, integrity and synchronisation between all applications in the rapidsuite.
The foundation modules which reside in rapidsuite enable a tight integration of all rapidsuite applications, meaning that configurations that are common between all applications are managed centrally.
This not only enables the proposed system to be setup and managed efficiently, it streamlines the future expansion to additional rapidsuite applications giving the airport the option to easily and cost effectively expand its operational software resources.
system access
and security
All rapidfids apps are security protected requiring authorisation prior to accessing the application or data. Authorisation is granted by entering a valid username and password at login.
The system is designed around a user authentication model which supports the use of strong passwords, enforced regular password changes, maximum login attempts and automatic log out after ‘x’ minutes of inactivity.
Users are assigned to groups and groups are assigned permissions on a ‘need to know/need to access’ basis providing each user group with the minimal amount of access required to perform their role effectively.

FIDS page features and capabilities
thinkclever
FIDS is about more then just flight information, it's integral to the passenger expeirence. It's the differnece between making a flight or missing it, between being relaxed, confident and spending or lost, stressed and not. It's a crucial element of your airports overall wayfinding experience and your brand image.
Intersystems strongly considers the way FIDS impacts its environment. We're thinking behond the screen and looking at how it can be done better, how we can improve the passenger expeirence, how we can facilitate operators roles in a more user friendly way, and, perhaps most improtantly, howe we can improve airport efficiencies and revneues.
In short, we believe FIDS can, and should, be much more.
