As fares become more and more economical, travellers are frequently opting to fly. Faced with this influx of passengers, airlines must take up two main challenges: to guarantee that the passenger travelling experience flows smoothly and comfortably, while at the same time ensuring a high level of supervision and safety. IT systems play a key role in this complex equation, both in coordinating the activities of the various players and in tracking objects through RFID technology, for example. This edition of Premium will explore how, in the age of the hub, airports must increasingly adopt a logistical vision and think in terms of common procedures and no longer just in terms of juxtaposed professions. This summer the athletes belonging to CSC teams did not take a break either. Quite to the contrary. Team CSC was magnificent in winning the most recent Tour de France thanks to the performance of Carlos Sastre and his teammates. During the Olympic Games held in Peking, Fabian Cancellera of Switzerland (Team CSC) won the gold medal in the time trial race, beating Gustav Larsson, another Team CSC athlete. Finally, we are also very proud of the success shared by CSC and students during the “Tour de France à la voile” yachting race. CSC was kept busy this summer by the launch of its new brand identity. Repositioning of this scale is always a delicate exercise. Striking the balance between the company’s fundamentals and the need for innovation is both subtle and indispensable. We believe that we have found the right formula with CSC's new branding and we hope that you will be pleased by our new identity. Please do not hesitate to pass along your suggestions, impressions and comments, particularly on Premium’s new layout, which reflects our new identity. Enjoy your reading!
