It will also be utilising the contract management, revenue calculation and billing automation functions of the software.
The airport handles 1.6 million passengers a year and is known for the proximity of the runway to the beach – creating dramatic pictures like the one above.
Emcare introduces SOS phone
Emcare has launched an easy-to-use mobile phone for subscribers to its monitoring services. In case of an emergency, the user can just press the SOS button on the back of the phone and get immediate help. This service extends to anywhere in Malta, Gozo and the rest of Europe. The phone can also be controlled by the next of kin from a website, who will not only be contacted by emCare in case of an emergency, but who can know the exact pin-point GPS location of the phone user.
Emcare is a partnership between Vassallo Group’s elderly care operation, CareMalta and 6PM. Emcare, along with Go, is also the sole provider of the government-subsidised TelecarePlus service for the Maltese islands.

PwC rolls out digital services
PwC announced the formation of its digital services business, with over 2,000 digital consulting professionals around the world committed to helping clients thrive in an increasingly digital world. The team has been built around recent strategic acquisitions.
“Eighty-one per cent of CEOs who participated in PwC’s 2014 CEO Survey said that technological advances are the most important trend to transform their business over the next five years,” said Juan Pujadas, PwC global advisory leader.
“Yet PwC’s 2014 Digital IQ Survey found that most companies are not prepared to address the challenges and opportunities of digital. Only 20 per cent of companies even claim to have a strong ‘digital IQ’ – the ability to understand, value and weave technology throughout the business.”
