![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() | Chapman Freeborn Air Marketing Limited was established in 1973 as a company of aircraft charter brokers and freight forwarders. The company has 120 employees in total: 20 in the London office and the remainder in 12 operation/broking offices around the world, mainly in Europe. The London office has 20 PCs, all of which are networked using Windows NT. Up until two years ago the company had a Novell server and MultiMate software. The PCs are currently installed with MS Word, Office and a DOS application called SITA, which is aviation related. Chapman Freeborn has a colour printer and use this in conjunction with PowerPoint to produce presentations, tender documents and brochures. Alison Bannister, an Aircraft Charter Broker commented: "We are now able to produce more sophisticated presentations and the capability to produce our company brochures in-house means that we save money on printing costs. "Microsoft technology has helped Chapman Freeborn to run its operation more efficiently. "We have developed a programme in Access to give us a database which incorporates records of airlines, contacts and the aircraft they operate," Alison continued. In terms of communications Chapman Freeborn also enjoy many benefits. Alison explained: "Our operation functions more easily now as we have RAS connections to and from our other offices, we use e-mail and have an Internet link, with home-page. We use Delrina WinfaxPro for faxing worldwide, which has improved the quality of our faxes and made it much easier to transmit them. Our London office now occupies three floors, rather than just one, as previously, and therefore being networked and having such a user-friendly system with good interfacing is a great advantage - we use 'pop-ups' a great deal. Our chairman is based in France and can log in and send a document through Remote Access Server, or e-mail message. We are considering introducing a global group database link and may well use Microsoft technology for this purpose." | |||
