Let technology make you stand out.Give your IT the competitive edge, unleash your data and get closer to
your customers.
There’s no escaping the role that technology plays in 21st century business success.
Sometimes though, the pace of change, the industry jargon and the sheer range of options are enough to make you want to go back to the ‘good old days’ when life was simpler. But because time travel isn’t an option, we have a much better solution.
You probably recognise Amadeus as the world’s number one global distribution system used by tens of thousands of travel professionals in almost 200 markets. But our technology know-how is so much more. Our consultancy experts can turn your entire IT investment from a cost centre into a true value creator.

A Typical Approach
• A kick off to identify and understand pain points / issues / challenges
• Ground work and analysis by Amadeus
• Presentation of the results is then shared
to all
The first step aims at really understanding what drives your business; getting under the skin your challenges and constraints. We’ll always start with what you have in place – your existing infrastructure – and how it can be used it its full potential.
The ground work can take many forms. This could involve observation, time and motion studies, process mapping, technical audits, industry benchmarking, workshops with key stakeholders and end users.
We'll then provide neutral, professional advice and recommendations with practical tips and guidelines. This can include process improvements, product usage enhancements, new product implementation or entirely customised solutions. We can work with you to deliver the whole project or just provide the framework for you to make it happen.

How We Work:
Overview
Many travel agents have already got perfectly good technology in their businesses but are failing to use it to its full potential.
This is the starting point to a Strategic Growth Assessment, the new consultancy approach offered by Amadeus.
Our role isn’t just to recommend how to use Amadeus products more effectively but also to recommend other third-party solutions and add value to in-house development.
No two cases are the same but typically we conduct a 3 stage process:
Stage 1
Learning, intelligence gathering and benchmarking -
including an impartial, in-depth technology audit looking at existing IT infrastructure: to understand what you already have and if it’s being used to its full capability
Stage 2
Onsite missions, interviews and the shadowing of travel consultants -
spending time “on the shop floor” to see how your systems and processes translate into the real customer experience.
Stage 3
Delivery of Mission Report with findings, recommendations and road maps -
suggestions on how to embrace your tech and organise data better, along with enhancing workflows, education and training, and sharing best practice.
Our Aim
Our aim is to help you understand the technology that can broaden your product offering and increase revenue streams -
to give you a competitive advantage and guide you through emerging trends like mobile app technology, inspirational search and traveller tracking.
The benefits to your business are fivefold:
- Streamline your processes for better efficiencies
- Increase productivity
- Boost revenues
- Reduce operational costs
- Industrialise your customer service
