| CSY’s
acquisition is taking off
More than four months after acquiring the Open Skies company to deliver airline solutions using HP 3000s, the new operation’s marketing manager reported the company is integrating well with CSY, creating new processes and yes, winning new business. Keep in mind that Open Skies sales are for the service of managing airline ticketing, not selling new HP 3000s. Roy Breslawski of the operation said “Two recent airlines added are Athabasca Airways in Canada and Avior Express in Caracas, Venezuela. We have a couple of others that have signed, but they are not ready for any public announcements. Stay tuned later this year for some key announcements about some very high profile wins.” Breslawski said that one of the best aspects of this business “is the customer decision process. It’s not based on operating system. It is based on what company is providing the service. The HP 3000 is their number one choice to run the reservation system because it is HP’s number one choice. That’s great to see. I wonder how many other markets that would hold true in?” Open Skies is still facing a
challenge to hire experienced software engineers. “We especially need
MPE application development capability,” Breslawski said, which puts
him in company with many others in the MPE community. “Growth has been
fast, but I’d like to see it even faster. We’re going to turn up
the heat even higher later this year and it’s a great opportunity for
software engineers who want the challenge. We have been very successful
recruiting, but there is an overall shortage of talented, experienced
software people. This is a much better challenge to have than some of the
alternatives.” Copyright The 3000 NewsWire. All rights reserved |
