AA.com Internet Booking Engine
|
|
|
Integrated with BroadVision, Conducive Technology developed the Internet booking engine that powered AA.com, the first personalized travel reservation site on the Internet. From 1998 to 2002 the booking engine supported AA.com as traffic increased greater than tenfold to more than one million visitors a day and transacted revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The site received numerous awards, recognizing it as one of the most popular and successful e-commerce sites on the Web. |

BookSmart Internet Booking Engine
|
|
|
Using the experience gained from AA.com, Conducive Technology developed BookSmart, a robust, fully customizable booking engine that offers air, car and hotel reservation functionality. Recognized as Oregon's Technology Product of the Year in 1999, BookSmart powered online reservations for customers such as Air Canada, Aer Lingus and ACES (Avianca). When introduced in 1999, BookSmart represented a very early adoption of the XML technology that has become so widespread in recent years. Running beneath the BookSmart booking engine, the Conducive Framework provided an underlying EAI platform that efficiently handled communications between legacy CRS systems and web applications. The flexibility built into BookSmart allowed each site to easily customize the booking process to meet their specific business requirements. |

AAdvantage Award Booking for AA.com
|
|
|
In October 2001, AA.com rolled out the Conducive-developed AAdvantage Award Booking application that allowed AAdvantage members to book the most popular 25,000 PlanAAhead award. With real-time validation of mileage balances and inventory availability the application both reduced internal costs and improved AAdvantage member service. Conducive also helped architect a solution that leveraged an existing CORBA technology at AA.com (developed by Conducive) to connect AOL AAdvantage to American's AAdvantage Loyalty System. This real-time connectivity enabled authentication of loyalty members that logged into the AOL AAdvantage web site and allowed members to update their AAdvantage profile settings. |
