Business Value

For developers

who need to buy ancillaries

the harmonization

is a benefits

that facilitates the implementation

unlike the current situation

our solution harmonizes the two worlds.

Business Outcomes

The measurable benefits that the business can anticipate if the epic hypothesis is proven to be correct.

Less implementation and testing efforts needed.

Leading Indicators

The early measures that will help predict the business outcome hypothesis. For more on this topic, see the Innovation Accounting advanced topic article.

Implementations are based on the harmonized approach.

Nonfunctional Requirements

• The reservation flow of the underlying H/H system needs to be supported.
• Compatibility with OSDM Offline Model

• Topics to Solve

  1. How to request?
     • Define Passengers: PERSON
     • Map Non Passenger Types to Product Categories (see Airline Taxonomy)
     • Add possibility to request more than one ancillary, needs improvement on OfferSearchCriteria
     • Cluster products --> improve products to have this meta information (add ProductTag,...)
  2. How does the offer look like?
     • BIKE/DOG/PET/PRAM: Mandatory Ancillary with non/optional/required reservation
     • CAR/MOTOCYCLE/TRAILER: Mandatory Ancillary with required reservation. Modeled as Transportable, needs thinking.
     • LUGGAGE, Meal, ...: Ancillary only
     • WHEELCHAIR, PRM, ACCOMP_PRM, ACCOMP_DOG: modelling needed, overlaps with Passenger.prmNeeds.
     • FAMILY_CHILD
  3. How does the booking look like?
     • On open systems we can have two independent bookings.
