CONTOUR is an enterprise travel management and distribution system specifically designed for today's
sophisticated global travel entity, supporting organizations with multiple business units and complex travel
procurement, management and distribution needs.
Flexible Solution Architecture
CONTOUR is built with a three-tier service- and object-oriented architecture that separates the presentation,
business and integration layers. An innovative rules-driven database allows the tour operator to adapt the
system to current and future needs, implementing business decisions (product, pricing, distribution, etc.)
quickly and without reprogramming.
CONTOUR offers a rich call center interface and a customizable Internet booking platform for consumers,
travel agents and private label deployment. CONTOUR also offers an XML API for integration with online
and other booking systems.
Open Technologies for Integration
CONTOUR is built with standard open technologies, including Java, Web services and an underlying relational
SQL database that supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). This enables CONTOUR to communicate
with modern and legacy systems for distribution, inventory procurement and other data integration needs.
Performance, Scalability, Security
CONTOUR runs on a linearly scalable platform that can support a travel enterprise distributed across multiple
locations, call centers and distribution channels. Leveraging the HP NonStop enterprise server platform,
renowned for reliability and scalability, CONTOUR offers unlimited scalability and fault-tolerant performance
regardless of transaction volume, number of system users and database size.
