Abacus WebConnect provides easy, fast and flexible access to Abacus’
system functionality and content. It is ideal for travel agents
and their partners who want to build a customised shopping &
booking application for their customers.
Based on OpenTravel Alliance (OTA) standards, Abacus WebConnect
uses web services requests and responses to provide a single point
of access to functionality and content from Asia’s leading
travel facilitator.
Key Benefits:
- Reduce development costs
and help you get your products to market faster
- Increased flexibility
Access functionality and content from Asia’s leading travel
facilitator, your own systems and independent 3rd party providers
using one development protocol.
- Eliminates need for screen scaping or translation of complex
Abacus system commands.
Based on industry generic technology standards that enable different
systems to ‘talk’ to each other using a single interface,
developers no longer have to understand Abacus system formats
but can still ensure you and your travellers have all the functionality
you need to sell travel – air, car, hotel, passenger name
record (PNR) and more.
What is web services?
Web services protocol enables unrelated applications to communicate
with each other regardless of the platform or programming language
used. A web service is a software interface that describes a collection
of operations or in business terms a task – for example flight
availability.
Using universally defined
interfaces makes it easier to reuse applications providing a better
return on investment for your development time.
Abacus WebConnect, using web services, allows
you to:
- Interact between services
on any platform, written in any language.
- Conceptualise application
functions into tasks, which leads to task orientated development
and workflows and a closer interaction between business requirements
and technical functionality.
- Allows for changes to
be made to individual services or tasks without affecting the
rest of your application.
- Enables existing applications
to be adapted to meet changing customer demands
- Provides service interfaces
for legacy software applications, extending the lifespan of existing
applications without the need for redevelopment
