The Frankfurt International Airport is an organization that lives and breathes analytics.

With nearly half a million take offs and landings, more than 50 million passengers, and over 2 million tons of freight each year, the Frankfurt International Airport is one of the largest air traffic hubs in the world.

So how does the organization manage so much traffic and reduce costs?

Dieter Steinmann Senior Manager of Information and Communications Services for Business Systems, Fraport AG explained along with his co worker Christian Wrobel, Product and Solution Architect during the Analytics 2014 conference in Frankfurt this week.

I caught up with Steinmann for a quick interview after his presentation.
