Client
Apple Leisure Group (ALG) consists of seven world’s leading travel companies that has been providing all-inclusive vacation packages for 16 years. The client distributes the products through its own vertically integrated online travel agencies, including CheapCarribean.com, Travel Impressions, and Apple Vacations.
Challenge
ALG needed a partner who could immediately grasp CheapCarribean.com’s system nuances and devise the most cost-effective approach for upgrading and maintaining their legacy platform.
Solution
The DataArt team applied a reverse-engineering approach in order to get a deep understanding of the client’s technology stack and business processes. Legacy system performance improvements were achieved through a combination of code optimizations and migrating to more advanced technologies. Within the assigned project the following integrations were implemented: Sabre Web Services, Chase Paymentech, Oracle Responsys, Google Hotel Ads, Bazaarvoice, in Contact, TripConnect.
