Business Processes Today: the travel market can be devided into 5 sectors of service operators Two of them the most can be combined from a service provider (transport operators and hotel services) Tomorrow: Service opertors can easily exchange information – no matter if it is within or between the respective sector i-Travel Will provide the convention, that enables service operators and service providers to exchange their information easily

General processes In general there are three methods to implement information in a service portal: Link to other services Join integration Deep integration
General processes Link to other service providers: An information by linking to another service provider in order to obtain additional revenues. Google is bringing this method on the top. Advantage: Adding new information to an existing service is easy. Many services can be offered. Disadvantage: Not user-friendly
Traveller and Supplier needs General processes 2. Join information: Prepared information of different providers can be combined with each other (e.g. rail way operators) Advantage: User gets combined information, can easily compare the information and take a desicion. Joining prepared information needs less effort than a deep integration Disadvantage: Suppliers have to deliver information within defined rules and formats Only a limited set of functions are available
General processes 3. Deep integration: Raw data of different information providers have to be prepared and combined (e.g. co-modal route planning with Bayerninfo.de, opodo) Advantage: User gets combined information, can easily compare the information and take a decision Deep integration is one of the preconditions for the implementation of an advanced agent Disadvantage: Needs lots of efforts to realise
