In short they spent too much time and money keeping their system running with a resultant impact on their operational costs. With ACEnet, travel agents get the opportunity to focus on their real business without having to worry about new technology, disc capacity, backups etc. The centralized access to several databases over dedicated communication lines, instead of several dial-up lines, also cuts travel agency costs. All active areas of ACEnet are continuously monitored and updated so that also eliminates the need for the agency to upgrade applications software independently. ICSA T provides dedicated travel agency software packages to around 18,000 agencies in countries including the USA, Australia, UK, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Finland.
Access is via dial-up or leased line into a private frame relay network.
In each of our offices, we have one PC configured as a server, with a router and leased line providing continuous on-line access. That is vital to an active business like ours. We now have a comprehensive solution to our hardware and software needs and the fact that the solution is specifically tailored to the requirements of travel agencies is a bonus.
