Structured and supported implementation

Over the years, we have built and refined a structured implementation methodology based on 80+ deployments with very different airlines. From day one, our team takes into account your systems, your constraints, your organization and your operations to design an implementation plan that fits the way you work.

The implementation process was a highlight for us because we have experienced similar implementations in the past, and the whole process was smooth on our end, with the data set and systems we had and the team and implementation team required. All the documents were smoothly integrated, and we followed the timeline exactly as we planned.

SkyBreathe®’s implementation process was well structured from the start. OpenAirlines provided a very detailed plan outlining what we could expect at specific intervals and when we should meet certain milestones. That clear plan from the start allowed us to really identify internally which teams we needed to speak to and what we needed from them to deliver the project on time."
