aviation IT departments need to be made to understand that…
…senseless policies
make users despise you, and don’t generate any
business benefits
IT resources are a scarce commodity
your IT guy
you need one of these…
…for every 50 of these
your users
your IT guy
this guy’s objectives must be closely aligned with…
a metaphor for your business

yes there is…
cyclical business trends - a period of de-centralisation for aviation IT - facilitated by cloud based services & virtualisation - outsourcing & department specific solutions
no more working in stealth mode - more autonomy for aviation IT users - delegation of specific IT functions to departments - IT guys will run business systems not develop them
