- Privatization led to the promotion of open systems, creating a need for linking functions between diverse systems.
- They wanted a seamless data integration system that connects mainframes and open servers.
- Airport management operations require high stability, and we want to minimize the risks associated with implementation.
Key points of the solution
Following its privatization in April 2004, Narita International Airport Corporation (NAA) promoted the open system transformation. In the process, it introduced HULFT as a tool for linking the diverse systems that had developed. This not only automates file transfer between systems, but also code conversion between mainframes and open servers. As it is backward compatible, it also minimizes the implementation risks associated with system updates. HULFT is essential for NAA's system linkages, and with its high stability and ease of operation, it plays an important role in the management operations of the ever-evolving Narita International Airport.
Various systems work together based on information from aviation authorities to calculate landing fees, parking fees, security fees, etc., and bill each airline. HULFT, as part of NAA's system integration function, enables safe and reliable file transfer processing.
