  • Progress Towards Technology Independence

    Since 2019, Bristol has been fully reliant on technology from third-party services. While this isn't really horrible persay, it is a major problem in the case of if a third party service shuts down, dumps malicious code into their products, or takes away our licenses. So to avoid problems, we've started making progress towards relying on our own custom technology. Soon, there will be little to no third party tech in our airports.
