iJET Offers Content and Service Syndication for Integration into Partner Applications
Annapolis, Maryland - August 21, 2002 - iJET® Travel Intelligence®, the travel risk management company, announced today a flexible syndication service providing targeted access to iJET´s travel risk management content and services. This access is offered through a specialized Application Programming Interface (API) which enables companies to integrate continuously updated Worldcue® Travel Intelligence content into their own applications, Web sites, corporate intranets and information services.
Examples of content and services that can be integrated into applications include constantly updated destination intelligence for 180 countries and 286 cities, real-time travel alerts and advisories, itinerary-specific reports, comprehensive travel advice and "pushed" alerts for travelers. A company's proprietary information can also be integrated into the intelligence provided to travelers. Among other options, iJET provides fully rendered HTML suitable for immediate placement in the customer's screen layout with virtually no Web programming effort. To support sophisticated Web-based applications, the syndicating company can utilize the XML format to maintain complete control of the "look and feel" of the intelligence.
"iJET has been providing content syndication to numerous companies including GetThere and Orbitz," said Bruce McIndoe, CEO of iJET. "Our new syndication service, however, provides companies with greater selection, simplicity and flexibility in offering the content that makes sense for their specific needs. This is vital and current information made available on a cost-effective basis."
Presenting Travel Intelligence information contextually within an application is very powerful and eliminates the need to provide Web site links requiring users to spend time looking for information. Applications for this intelligence include on-line travel sites, corporate aviation systems, insurance and risk management applications, travel health sites, GDS terminals and virtually any application that needs up-to-the-minute information on a given destination.
GetThere™, a Sabre Company, the leading provider of Web-based travel reservation systems for corporations and suppliers, uses the iJET content API to provide relevant intelligence to employees at corporate clients as they book a trip. "iJET's real-time travel safety and security information is highly useful to our customers," said Jay GaBany, director of product marketing at GetThere. "Clients only see information that pertains to their trip and are frequently able to minimize disruptions by following iJET's recommendations."
"The Worldcue platform provides information in fully-rendered HTML, XML or JavaScript for flexibility and complete control," said Greg Meyer, CTO of iJET. "Companies can now easily establish within a few days an automated information query from their application or Web site to provide up-to-date, personalized, high-value content for their customers."
