Travel Inc. realized long ago that success in corporate travel would be realized through aggressive deployment of technologies that would lower costs and automate time-consuming functions. That is why Travel Inc. made the strategic decision to invest in its own technology division, Travel Technology Solutions (TTS). Maintaining an in-house, research and development lab ensures that our operations and clients are always being supported on the most cutting-edge, responsive and cost-effective platform.
Capitalizing on Web Services Technology
Travel Inc. is ahead of the industry by deploying a comprehensive automation framework that leverages the power and benefits of Travel 2.0, web services architecture and embraces its XML based workflow definition language. This cutting edge position gives us a unique advantage over competitors because it provides unlimited flexibility and options for interfacing and supporting our clients and suppliers. Key benefits of web services architecture:
- Allows applications running on different and incompatible platforms to integrate and interact with one another in a flexible, dynamic way.
- Allows for easy customization and modification as business requirements evolve.
The power of web service architecture is exemplified in our Single Sign On (SSO) option that allows customer to interface with our travel applications within their corporate, Intranet environment in a seamless and secure manner. It has also been deployed as a powerful supplier tool, exemplified by our groundbreaking partnership with Continental Airlines that allows customers to check-in and /or change seats prior to leaving for the airport.
Travel Inc. leads GDS companies and third party software developers in the development of numerous, progressive applications, many of which were industry “firsts” and became industry standards.
