OTOSS |
| Description |
OTOSS intends to provide a reference implementation for the Open Travel specifications
based on an ESB/SOA architecture including an extensible and generic framework and best practises.
This idea was born while we were customizing our solution for another tour operator in germany.
Our current solution provides the main B2B processes defined by OTA for tour operators and agencies providing
prices, stocks, inventories and booking/cancel facilities based on the OTA specs.
Additonally we provide connectors to Amadeus's (former TravelTainment) dynamic packaging solution called X-Mix to import
the data coming from OTA sources into the X-Mix inventory, if the business relation between Traveltainment and the client allows so.
TravelTainment, now owned by Amadeus, was the first and is still the
biggest service provider for virtual tour operating and dynamic packaging in Europe.
Furthermore we got in our portfolio some tools helping mapping ids and importing static data.
In the first step we would like to consolidate and improve this solution and then introduce a generic and extensible
framework based on a SOA/ESB stack. We are still in the evaluation process looking for the right SOA platform and our first candidate is
Eclipse's SOA Framework named SOPERA. As we use Eclipse as well for software development it is obvious to start looking at that first.
A good candidate as welll will be FUSE (Apache ServiceMix/ActiveMQ/Camel/CXF/OSGi(Felix)). We started to evaluate FUSE.
We appreciate any help on this effort to make complex B2B processes for the travel industry easy to handle
by using the cutting egde of IT and the OTA specifications.
