Amadeus makes case for open source software
A new report, entitled ‘Open for Business’, makes the case for the travel industry to embrace open source software in order to benefit from greater innovation, respond faster to industry and consumer change and reduce costs.
The report outlines how open systems could free the industry from its reliance on proprietary software and provide travel companies with greater competitive advantage.
Authored by Professor Jim Norton, a technology expert, and sponsored by Amadeus IT Group, the report explores the role of open systems in demanding real-time processing environments.
The paper outlines how open systems have developed and why today they are not just fit for purpose but have the potential to deliver industry-wide benefits.
Professor Norton said, "The road from proprietary to open systems is long and often challenging but represents nothing less than a revolution in the IT industry.
"Almost every major business will need to make at least some elements of this transition over the medium term, so understanding how open source software can bring benefits, but also realistically evaluating the challenges of transition, is critical."
