Travelport is a global technology company that powers travel bookings for hundreds of thousands of travel suppliers worldwide. Without Travelport, many travel agencies and websites would be unable to serve up options like checked bags, seat selections, upgrades, and even ticketing. It is one of the top three global distribution systems (GDS).
Travelport reduced server use by 33% over a period where transaction volumes increased by 19%, resulting in significant cost avoidance.
Travelport’s application suite was experiencing spikes of reduced performance until it implemented Azul Platform Prime on two applications. On an ETL (extract, transform, load) process, response times immediately improved, allowing Travelport to publish travel content to its customers even faster.
From 2019 to 2022, Travelport also reduced a query application’s response time by an impressive 80%, lowered its error rate, and virtually eliminated slower and stalled transactions. In addition, Travelport reduced server use by 33% over a period where transaction volumes increased by 19%, resulting in significant cost avoidance – such efforts by Travelport resulted in a well-deserved Java Hero Award.
Travelport flexes Java performance
Last week Azul announced this year’s winners of the Java Hero Awards – featuring 17 organizations that achieved world-class results with Java use cases. Based on their incredible results, Travelport earned the Application Performance – Customer Experience award.
The awards recognize organizations, teams, and individual champions globally who achieved innovative world-class results with Java performance to help their businesses become more cost-effective, successful and efficient.
“Travelport is great to work with and to have as a customer,” commented Azul Sales Representative Kevin Medeiros. “Their company is tight-knit, making them full of great culture with a lot of continuity and progression.”
