Sabre Web Services Transaction Growth


efficiency Sabre Service Strategy 2.x Vision

• The vision of Sabre’s Service Strategy 2.x initiative (S2) is to provide all of Sabre’s services and data available through a set of APIs in order to:

• Let the parts be parts

• Can be combined in multiple ways to solve business problems


efficiency Sabre Service Strategy 2.x Direction

• To evolve Sabre’s existing strategic services-based architecture into one that:

13

Stresses simplicity Provides consistent data structures

Promotes quicker delivery/faster time to

market

Reduces integration costs

Promotes reusability of existing

services/functionality

Promotes rapid customer adoption

Provides highly-flexible, highly-

customizable, customer-driven

workflows

Continues to scale in the face of

exponential growth

Expands Sabre’s development

customer base

Promotes a sustainable cost structure

Loosely couples components/systems


efficiency

Sabre Service Strategy 2.x Success Criteria

• S2 will be successful when:


All of Sabre’s functional as well as

operational capabilities are presented as

an integrated platform to customers,

third-party developers, and internal users

Customer-specific business logic and

functionality is moved out of the

underlying, content systems and into the

service-enabled Service Foundation

Layer

Both terminal-based as well as newer

graphical based applications have

uniform/consistent access to services

Presentation and formatting logic is

moved out of the content systems and

into the edge Gateway Layer to improve

time to market

Well-defined service interfaces are used

to bridge systems
