INTEGRATED MESSAGING PLATFORM FOR TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY IMPROVES THE ECONOMICS OF OTA MESSAGING SOLUTIONS
The TwoConnect BizTalk Accelerator for Open Travel Alliance (OTA) provides a comprehensive and quick-to-implement OTA messaging solution for customers in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality industry. The Travel, Tourism and Hospitality industry is faced with difficult challenges: a myriad of applications and systems that need to be integrated with customers, partners, and external financial networks. OTA has created an broadly accepted structure for electronic messages, enabling suppliers and distributors to speak the same interoperability language, trading partner to trading partner. 
Companies in the travel distribution industry are looking toward messaging technology as a way to differentiate their businesses, including simplifying their infrastructure and reducing costs, all while providing greater flexibility to handle the changing customer requirements and continuous regulatory and standards changes. They are also looking to new, innovative, low-cost industry-standard components to help drive down the cost of implementation and maintenance.
TwoConnect leverages the Microsoft BizTalk Server platform and the TwoConnect Accelerator for OTA to reduce the complexity of EAI and deliver rapid return on investment through accelerated deployment timelines, simplified architectures, and lower initial and ongoing costs.
TwoConnect leverages the OTA messaging schema standard and made it BizTalk-ready. Here’s how:
· BizTalk Server compliant schema packs for the full OTA specification supporting BizTalk Server 2006, 2006 R2 and 2009 when available.
· Automatic support for BizTalk messaging properties based on OTA common properties.
· InfoPath Form templates for all OTA messages.
· BizTalk Server support for the EchoToken custom header when using HTTP.
· Integration of OTA Code Tables into the BizTalk Mapper & Orchestrations.
The TwoConnect BizTalk Accelerator for OTA extends the Microsoft BizTalk Server Platform to provide comprehensive and reliable delivery of travel distribution industry messaging using the OTA formats.
