Most people who understand travel don’t understand mobility
And only some realize the importance (right now).
Let’s Face It…
Our Mission
1. Create state of the art mobile applications derived from common and available product and enterprise services.
2. Utilize best practices and consistent infrastructure in design, development and testing.
3. Ensure ubiquity in solution and device independence.
Decentralize
• UI Development:• Mobile web browser
• WebKit
• Native application
• Services (if BU specific)
Centralize
• Application Testing:• Device
• Simulators
• QA Testing
• User Experience:• Design Guidelines
• Best Practices
• Technical Consulting:• Programming Methods
• Technical Strategy
• Services (when common)
These are the services that Sabre Travel Network is building that we’re
deploying throughout the organization today and can deploy
more broadly in in 2012
Our Approach to Mobile Services
The Roles We Play
1. Enterprise Mobile Services
2. Enterprise Messaging Services
