What that means in practice

Build a relationship of trust with our customers

Win-win relationships and a great customer experience with Airbus DS’s Intelligence Team start with trust!

We commit to providing mutually beneficial long term relationship plans and levels of dialogue above and beyond any contractual obligations.

Evolve our technological and service offerings in harmony with our customers’ business needs

A reliable products and services portfolio and state-of-the-art technologies are the key to success for your business!

To ensure we fulfil your needs in terms of products and services offerings, we commit to understanding your company or organisation, your constraints, your drivers together with your explicit and implicit needs and expectations at an operational, tactical and strategic level.

We will thrive to invest in new technologies and use creative resources and innovative thinking in order to provide leading-edge solutions to improve accessibility to and quality of our products and services.

Actively listen to our customers at all times

We will listen to you and act on the feedback we receive on products, services, projects and your overall experience with us.

We will ensure that, wherever possible, your feedback is fed into our improvement and transformation programmes and treated with the appropriate level of importance and urgency.

Always be responsive to customer’s requests for information

Great customer service: It’s all in the details but with one point of contact and a simple process!

We will establish a point of contact and single mechanism through which you can submit your enquiry or request for information and we commit to keeping you fully informed of the status of your submissions.

At an operational level, we will respond to your requests for information according to our Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Keep our customers well informed of our

delivery and project status

Transparency is key! Responding to your high level of expectations is all about informing you, in a transparent and honest way, about our detailed project management plan, performance and critical path, our challenges, possible delays and the latest delivery status throughout the duration of our project… and we will always go that extra mile to deliver your project in time and provide the quality of service you deserve!

Make it as easy as possible for our customers to do business with us

It’s all about putting ourselves in our customers’ shoes. We will strive to deliver value for money by removing or adapting unnecessary processes and bureaucracy from our business where they do not add value to you, our customer. We will respect your specific business and cultural needs. We will establish relationship owners to ensure that you always have a single point of entry into the Intelligence Teams of Airbus DS or our parent organisations.

Support our customers in realising their missions

Your success is our success! We will work with you, to support your operations and to ensure that our business, our ways of working and our strategy evolve to reflect the strategic needs of you, our customer.

We will make every effort to keep you informed of our business, its direction, its organisation, its improvement and transformation programmes, its technological and innovation direction and its capabilities, products and services.
