Earlier this week,
Unisys Corporation
(
UIS
) declared that after three months of hard work, it has finally
launched the first ever home-printed baggage tag solutions at
Billund Airport in Denmark for international passengers. The
solution is designed to render the passenger check-in process
simpler and more convenient.
The Internet check-in application and local check-in assistant
program had been previously installed successfully by Unisys
through its passenger facilitation solution program started in 2007
at Billund Airport. With the implementation of this bag tag
solution, the company demonstrates its continued interest towards
ameliorating overall standards of performance enhancing customer
experiences.
In today's world, time is money. Everyone is looking for means
and ways to reduce even the slightest time lags at any juncture.
Gone are those days when passengers would wait in queues to first
avail paper tags, then tie them to their baggage items and then go
for the final drop off at a bag drop counter. With the
implementation of this new system, baggage tags can be printed by
passengers even before setting foot at the airport.
The system has been designed to operate smoothly with a separate
line for pre-tagged baggage items at the airport. The printed
boarding pass contains the number of items for check-in, which
shall be presented at the counter along with the printed bag tag
which would go inside a plastic bag tag holder provided at the
airport itself. With this system, passengers can save valuable time
at the airport, an aspect of burgeoning importance globally.
There still exist companies, however, which threaten Unisys'
formidable industry position at all times. These include big
players such as
CoStar Group Inc.
(
CSGP
),
EPAM Systems, Inc.
(
EPAM
) and
Acxiom Corporation
(
ACXM
).
The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter of
2012 and for fiscal 2012 is 48 cents per share and $2.90 per share,
respectively. The company currently retains a Zacks #1 Rank, which
translates into a short-term 'Strong Buy' rating.
