My last entry in this space was that of text mining. Since that piece, I have now moved onto learning the market trends in the multi-billion dollar business intelligence tools and so far the study has truly been a satisfying 'business discovery'. I emphasize the term 'business discovery' mainly because this is the catch phrase that is being used by...

Two weeks ago I was invited to speak at the 2011 Avionics & Defence Electronics Europe conference in Munich. I was particularly impressed with the number of different workshops and presentations running throughout the two event days, but not so much with the weather in Munich. My presentation focused on forecasts and key trends across commercial a...

Let me introduce myself. My name is Dio Papiomytis and I'm a Principal Consultant in Frost & Sullivan's Aerospace & Defence department, heading our commerc...

Earlier in the week I was returning home from Zurich when I realised that I had lost my passport. Up until that point, my journey home from the mountains had been perfect and I thought to myself “typical, Murphy’s Law!” But what is Murphy’s Law? On St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it fitting to debunk a British fallacy linked to this theory, whils...

I recently started with a new research on exploring the exciting technology area of text mining. The more I have learnt about the technology, the more I have realised the wonderful implications that it could potentially have on such multi-billion dollar sectors such as retail, banking & financial sector and healthcare. What the heck is text mining...
Unrest in Middle East: Oil Prices head Northward and Aerospace sector set to head Southward

The global aviation sector was expected to make good profits in 2011; however it looks quite unlikely considering the current political situation in the Middle East region. Frost & Sullivan forecasts this Middle Eastern crisis to hit the aviation sector soon. The Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices account for a major portion of the operational expe...
NBAA Annual Conference-2010-Day 3

Day three has been predictable. Many of the attendees showed up with their bags, ready to go to the airport after noon. The convention floor foot traffic was also typically lighter than on days one and two, but about typical for most day-three attendances of the past. Most exhibitors visited other booths throughout the day. The only notable an...

Day two has been fairly similar to day one. The convention floor foot traffic was perhaps slightly less than on day one, but not low enough that exhibitors had time to visit each other’s booths. Last year at this point, that was 25% of the foot traffic. Talking with avionics manufacturers was fairly educational. Most have downsized at least on...

I have been attending the NBAA conference almost every year since 1998. Each of the conferences has had a different flavor than the others. The 2008 conference was remarkable for the sense of impending doom that pervaded a fairly well-attended event. At that point, no one had announced cancellations and while orders were flat, they were still ad...
Economic Impact: Cutting Costs? What you don't see.. may hurt you!

Most companies are feeling the effects of the economic downturn. The mantra echoed around the world, "Cash is King," triggered companies to activate cost cutting measures of all kinds; budget cuts, re-organization, down-sizing, et. al. And now that there is a little uptick within certain markets, companies watch with bated breath to see if they mad...

You would be forgiven for feeling at least some anxiety when it comes to determining the most appropriate social media strategy for your organization. It’s difficult enough navigating through the seemingly endless landscape of possible channels, but now we’re supposed to know when and what to submit, post, tweet, upload, link, buzz, digg, up vote,...
