EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
GCR provides software licensing, hosting and maintenance for a properties and billing software program for the Airports Department (Airports) business management function, commonly referred to as an Airport Business Management System (ABMS), which Airports has been using since 2005. The Contract will upgrade the software, as the current software version will no longer be supported.

The ABMS also includes a Capital Projects Module that will allow Airports Projects Division to track all aspects of airport capital work.
