How Much Would YOU Spend on Service Business Software?
Did You Know?
In the 1950s, American Airlines spent an astonishing sum of $40 million (about $350 million in 2000 dollars) to develop and install the first ever automated booking and reservations software – the SABRE system by IBM.
In the 1950’s, American Airlines was facing serious challenges in its ability to quickly handle airline reservations in an era that witnessed high growth in airline passenger volumes. Before the introduction of SABRE, the airline’s system for booking flights was completely manual: the entire end-to-end task of looking for a flight, reserving a seat and then writing up the ticket could take an AA agent up to three hours for each booking.
To solve this problem, American Airlines partnered with IBM to develop SABRE and when it went online in 1960, the system was an immediate success. By 1964, the system took over all booking functions for American Airlines and handled 83,000 phone calls a day.
Today, American Airlines is the largest airline in the world, with annual revenue of $40 billion, and the SABRE system is used by booking agents, travel websites, and other major airlines around the world.
