add new products and services.
We chose the Microsoft platform…”

Reservations
Dollar cost-effectively opened up another sales channel that has
provided thousands of new reservations per year, equating to
millions of dollars in additional revenue
Partner connection richer, deeper and more dynamic – live with 25
partners in 2 months!
Customer Feedback
“We knew exposing our reservation system as a
Web service would provide a standard interface
that could be used by a wide range of other
applications, both internal and external.
However, at the time, we had no idea just how
often we would use it, or the magnitude of the
benefits it would deliver.”

messaging frameworks
– Point to Point
– Difficult, Expensive
– Not business context driven
Today: Loosely coupled endpoints built on standard
messaging framework
– End to End
– Easier, Lower Cost
– Business context driven
