When we migrated our DCS and MARS Tour Operator System to the Amadeus datacenter in March 2006, we enjoy immediate benefits from downscaling the legacy Unysis platform. With this move we know now exactly what we are paying for, there are no hidden cost. Based on our Altea DSC migration strategy, the benefits was to concentrate the links and networks in Erding. This will simplify and reduce the project and migration effort when moving to Altea DCS. Choosing to leverage the hosting services from Amadeus has been a strategic sourcing decision towards the achievement of Finnair's business targets.
