Traveldoo Technologies first software provider for business travel to be certified Amadeus Compliant for XML API version 2.0.

Paris - February 21, 2001 - Traveldoo Technologies, the leading provider of second generation (2G) electronic travel procurement solutions, today announced they are the first software provider to deliver Internet applications for business travel certified Amadeus Compliant for XML API V.2.0.

Traveldoo Technologies uses the latest version of Amadeus XML API to connect its electronic travel procurement product - Traveldoo ShopSite - and its electronic business travel selling product - Traveldoo Portal - to the GDS Amadeus.

"The success of B2B eCommerce for travel largely depends on the ability of technology enablers to deliver products with great response time and solutions at low total cost of ownership," said Olivier Mindren, Vice President Marketing, Traveldoo Technologies. "Interfacing our solutions with Amadeus host via XML-based messages was perfectly aligned with both of these two objectives".

"Our competitors have developed online corporate booking tools before the introduction of such API, using screen scraping. This has resulted in longer product development cycles, higher operating and maintenance costs, poor performance and a lack of reliability. Combined with our n-tier EJB/XML software platform, XML interfacing with reservation systems makes Traveldoo solutions much performing and reliable than first generation products. This is all benefits for our customers and reinforce our competitive advantage."
