Global footprint
Technological excellence spanning the globe
Sophia Antipolis (Nice) is Amadeus' central headquarters for R&D activities, with on-site and worldwide teams developing solutions for travel distribution, e-commerce, points-of-sale, airline and hotel IT.
Aside from Sophia Antipolis, Amadeus also has R&D teams in London, Bad Homburg (Frankfurt), Antwerp, Sydney, Bangalore, Miami, Boston, Munich, Aachen, Toronto, Paris, Bogota and Bangkok. This helps us to maintain close contact with our customers and enhance our global reach.
All sites provide stimulating environments that enhance creativity and help spark innovative ideas. They also bring together a wide range of expertise and a worldwide approach to develop global products.
The most highly-skilled professionals work in Amadeus' R&D organisation. Over the past 4 years, our world-class, multicultural resources dedicated to product and solution development have grown by 60% to reach 3,200 person-years in 2008.
Process improvement has always been a constant, systematic initiative in Amadeus. We were the first GDS to receive quality certification (ISO 9001:2000). Today we are deploying a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) approach to software development.
As the leading provider of IT solutions, Amadeus R&D teams have created the most advanced technology platform of the travel and tourism industry. But, above all, technological excellence means delivering the innovative solutions that our customers need and that will contribute to their success.
