Score another win for Sabre as AeroMexico selected SabreSonic for the airline’s new internal reservations system. You can also look at it as a little bit of revenge.

American Airlines still hasn’t signed Jetstream agreement with HP
January 20, 2010 By 2 Comments
Some five months after American Airlines’ parent company AMR Corp. signed a letter of intent with HP for it to develop a new passenger service system, Jetstream, for the airline, AMR chairman and CEO Gerard Arpey said Jan. 20 that the two parties have yet to sign a definitive agreement.
During AMR Corp.’s conference call about its fourth quarter 2009 earnings, in which the airline recorded a net loss of $344 million, Arpey said that the two parties have held detailed conversations about a definitive agreement, but haven’t “pushed it over the finish line.”
Arpey said AMR Corp. expects to reach a definitive agreement with HP in the “near future.”
Pegasus in 7-year outsourcing deal with Hewlett Packard
November 16, 2009 By 3 Comments
In a blockbuster move, Pegasus Solutions, the hotel technology and distribution services company, signed a 7-year deal to outsource the day-to-day management of Pegasus’s applications, data center services and network management to HP Enterprise Services, the company formerly known as EDS.
The two sides declined to tell me the dollar value of the deal leading up to today’s announcement, but I expect those figures to emerge later today.
One of the most important aspects of the agreement is that Pegasus’s RezView NG, which enables the melding of CRS, property management and Web functionality for hotels, would be integrated into HP’s Travel Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform.
Sabre pushes cubeless, but CEO opts for a cube
October 18, 2009 By 4 Comments
Sabre has been marketing cubeless, a social networking platform and knowledge base, to corporations inside and outside the travel industry, but now, it turns out, chairman and CEO Sam Gilliland has abandoned the corner office for a cube.
OK, no real connection between cubeless and Gilliland’s cube decision other than the fact that both symbolize a sort of opening up and a laudable democratization of sorts.
And, I wonder how Gilliland’s cubemates would have reacted to a Dallas Morning News interview over the weekend and, specifically, to the following spin about Sabre’s loss of its American Airlines’ hosting contract to HP.
