After being released in various countries already, the Amadeus Selling Platform Connect is about to be launched in Switzerland during the Amadeus Customer Day on May 3rd in Zurich.
From 10 am until 2 pm the Amadeus staff will in hourly sessions present the platform to the agents. Snacks and beverages will most certainly be provided.
Agenda and Registration (German only)
With the move to the device and platform agnostic version of the Amadeus selling platform, Amadeus fulfils a long standing requirement from Agents. Since quite some time Travelport offers such a solution with the Galileo Remote Desktop or the TTS Web Agent also on Smartphones and Tablets. I assume however, that Amadeus will put a little more effort to get agents on the new web platform. The benefit for agents, apart from additional features and functionalities will be that access to the GDS is now possible from every web enabled device (as long as there is a display) and that there is no need to setup VPN-connections for remote access.
More details can be found on the product homepage for the Amadeus Selling Platform Connect unter “Put your Passion to Work”
Unfortunately I will not be able to participate on the 3rd May but I am very keen to hear the first user feedbacks and to see the new application live and in colour. But time my priorities have been set on sun, beach and dolce far niente. But this only for a few days before it is back to full steam in May with a couple of events and other news from travelBrain.
