SITA Travels Further with Contivo Data Management Solution

SITA looks to enterprise data integration leader to enhance portable, platform-independent transformation and business data modeling

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liaison Technologies, a global provider of integration and data management services, today announced that SITA, the world's leading specialist in air transport communications and IT solutions, has selected Liaison’s Contivo solution to reconcile data definitions between systems and enable data integration based on a common business model.

“SITA’s implementation further establishes Contivo as the marquee data management solution for scalable, platform-independent translation and semantic integration that will give SITA and their customers’ competitive advantage in the ever-evolving air transport industry.”

SITA manages and delivers business solutions for airline, airport, global distribution systems (GDS) and government customers. Given the company’s complex integration design requirements, SITA needed a semantics-based data integration solution that would handle complex data transformations and meet its stringent service-oriented architecture needs. Contivo's data interoperability resolves data inconsistencies between internal systems and external partners or customers, and manages diverse sets of data models - improving the quality of data sent between disparate applications.

“With Contivo, we will reduce our integration efforts, improve time-to-market, stay on top of on-going data changes, and continue to improve our customer’s experience,” said Brendan Fitzpatrick, Senior Manager, Software Development at SITA. “At the same time, real-time data transformation and integration means improved information quality and a more agile business where operational efficiencies are improved and development costs and time are reduced.”

“Costly and resource-intensive IT platform conversions seem to have become just another part of doing business. We’ve seen renewed demand from customers concerned about the ability to accelerate the data conversion process from multiple disparate sources and dramatically reduce the time, cost, and complexity involved in their integration projects,” said Chris Hale, VP Product Marketing at Liaison. “SITA’s implementation further establishes Contivo as the marquee data management solution for scalable, platform-independent translation and semantic integration that will give SITA and their customers’ competitive advantage in the ever-evolving air transport industry.”
