Data Services
The Right Data, in the Right Form, at the Right Time, to the Right People
Airlines share a variety of data with many different audiences. The requests for data never stop. Internal departments want data for analysis and business intelligence purposes. Alliance partners and government agencies need data so you can meet compliance requirements. And don’t forget freight forwarders, or online travel agents like Orbitz or Expedia.
If you are like many airlines, you rely on a diverse set of platforms and homegrown or commercial applications to manage a diverse set of data types. This type of data environment can result in a lot of problems; one being that IT can’t meet business needs fast enough. And because IT has no consistent and reusable way of accessing data, every data project becomes a one-off, creating inefficiencies and using up valuable resources. Also, when a data change is made to one endpoint, it’s often impossible to know the downstream impact to other endpoints that are consuming that data until it’s too late, which can mean lost revenue or a bad customer experience.
Progress Data Services provides a better way to handle all of this, by enabling you to:
- Achieve complete data visibility with a common model which lets you see where data is flowing, and how, between integrated applications and services.
- See the impact of any change across all systems with change management capabilities.
- Implement any changes using configuration, not coding, using model-driven tooling to improve developer productivity.
- Reduce development time and maintenance with an easier way to store and reuse data services.
