TP EXAMPLES & CASE STUDIES
SABRE HISTORY 8 A fledgling airline 8 Informal booking prior to the war 8 Demand for travel after WWII 8 Manual booking
SABRE HISTORY. . AIRLINE RESERVATIONS AFTER THE WAR “A large cross-hatched board dominates one wall, its spaces filled with cryptic notes. At rows of desks sit busy men and women who continually glance from thick reference books to the wall display while continuously talking on the telephone and filling out cards. One man sitting in the back of the room is using field glasses to examine a change that has just been made high on the display board. Clerks and messengers carrying cards and sheets of paper hurry from files to automatic machines. The chatter of teletype and the sound of card sorting equipment fills the air” [-- From “The Virtual Corporation by Davidow and Malone P 43]
SABRE HISTORY. . u. Charles Amman (R&D) takes charge u. Tubes and marbles prototype u Next improvement: “Reservisor” system u Still 8% transactions in error u Takes 12 people, 15 steps and 3 hrs! u IBM jumps in u. After many false starts, SABRE in 1962 u. Installation $2. 1 million, HW 37 million u$16, 000 per agent u. Revenues of $500 million
SABRE Is a classic example of a TP system reservation system used by AA ◦ Worldspan, Galileo, Patheo, and Abacus 45 million records 200, 000 new records added daily 60, 000 terminals 6 mainframes
DISCUSSION What characteristics of TP systems are exhibited by SABRE?
VISA’S CREDIT CARD PROCESSING Merchant’s bank Merchant/Store Cardissuing bank Cardholder
VISA’S CREDIT CARD PAYMENT 4 Customer makes purchase 4 Merchant’s bank linked via VISA network to the bank that issued the card 4 Card issuing bank approves the charge 4 Bank subtracts fee and pays rest to merchant 4 Merchant’s bank submits charge to VISA 4 VISA charges credit card company 4 Card holder’s acct # checked against black list
VISA’S CREDIT CARD PROCESSING +10 million merchants world-wide accept VISA + MC +VISA + MC largest TP system +45 billion transactions a year
OTHER APPLICATIONS OF TP Payroll Order entry Billing Credit card Reservations Inventory Stock trades
TP AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Competitive advantage of TP ◦ operational η ◦ better service For Discussion: ◦ What would TP systems do in a company like State Farm? What are the operational benefits?
THE END!
