Main aspects of this project Biggest change in the Revenue Accounting
Scope of functionalities was a green field,
Multiple existing interfaces – AIA, ACH and also ICH
Web of contractual relationships
Industry buy-in that prepares adoption after Go-Live Carriers and alliances but also system providers,

Preparation and launch of a new service
For IATA too, it is not just an IT project.

Objectives of the Pilot test Improve industry confidence in solution
Testing of the application in the final production infrastructure
Understand challenges of the migration with limited deployment
Benefit from end users feedback on key migration tools (CBT, User Guide,
Sandbox file testing, Training)
But it is not : A formal sign-off on the application acceptance from industry – IATA does it Full coverage test – Acceptance Test done by IATA prior Pilot testing
