2. The ProfitLine/Yield O&D migration path
The unique design and methodology
of ProfitLine/Yield O&D support seam-
less migration from segment control to
market-sensitive O&D control. This setup
allows our product to be tailored to the
requirements of any airline. If you do not
want to move straight to a market-sensitive
O&D revenue management system, you
can also advance step by step. You start
in segment mode, but using PNR data
as input. Later on you switch to full O&D
mode, resulting in true network control. It
is entirely up to you whether you shorten,
extend or even skip certain phases on
the migrating path to full O&D control.
Migrating to ProfitLine/Yield O&D means
that every investment is targeted towards
true O&D control; components no longer
needed are eliminated cost-efficiently.
