Architecture Matters: A Services-Oriented Architecture for Unisys AirCore LOYALTY

Unisys Global Transportation has offered its Customer Loyalty Solution (CLS) to airlines for over a decade. CLS is at the heart of the Loyalty marketing business function at such major carriers as Cathay Pacific Airways, Northwest Airlines, Vietnam Airlines and Air Berlin, among others. Unisys has had a long and successful history of providing its air transport clients with leading edge solutions. In accord with this strategy, Unisys plans to re-architect CLS in order to achieve the benefits of a modern, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This white paper examines the commercial drivers for the planned migration to a new architecture, using Unisys AirCore as the exemplar for its design.
