Guenther Willacker graduated 1966 with a diploma in Electrical Engineering. He than worked as professor for Informatics, as system specialist for Sperry Rand UNIVAC (now UNISYS) and senior consultant for Diebold Germany.
He has been active in the airport and airline business for 25 years. He led the development of some systems like FIDS, central database, resource allocation and various EDP-technologies. Main strengths are the organisation, the analysis and the development of IT-systems. He is familiar with modern project management and design methods. He played an important role during the design and development of Munich International Airport. Their concept of system integration originated from his ideas. His main skills are:

Software design
and definition

Planning of
integration processes

Co-ordination of
information presentation

Database design
and implementation

Definition of
interfaces and standards

Integration,
test and training

The last big project was IT-planning and co-ordination for the new Terminal 2 in Munich (capacity of 20 million passengers) in co-operation with Lufthansa. He was co-ordinator of all IT- and communication-activities (systems and infrastructure) as the responsible core process organiser. Another focus was the new FIDS-system which makes use of some new technologies. He developed the concept including prototyping and monitored the realisation.

The third strength (besides airline/airport and IT-Know-how) is the consideration of the human factor. During system development he can motivate and lead the team members (even in an international environment). He attaches great significance to software ergonomics, training and familiarisation of users. Special focus is on prototyping, preparation of electronic manuals and presentation.
