News Sabre Selects Stonebridge Technologies for Innovative Infrastructure Solution DALLAS, March 26, 2002 – Stonebridge Technologies, a provider of business and technology integration services, announced that it has been selected by Sabre Inc., to architect and provide pre-configured technology platforms for the latest release of the Sabre TravelBase for Windows application for travel agencies. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Sabre, the leading provider of technology, distribution and marketing services for the travel industry, is migrating current TravelBase users to its latest software release, v.1.X. The software runs on a new platform based on Sun Enterpris servers from Sun Microsystems. TravelBase is an onsite accounting and information management solution designed to meet back-office data processing and reporting needs of travel agencies. In the agreement, Stonebridge will design the technical architecture for three TravelBase configuration options. The Stonebridge solution is scalable, providing appropriate levels of processing power and storage capacity based on anticipated transaction volumes. Stonebridge is the exclusive provider of this service to Sabre. After receiving an order from Sabre specifying the pre-determined configuration option, Stonebridge consultants will bring the hardware into the company’s Technology Center in Dallas. They will configure the hardware to the exact specifications of the travel agency and load the TravelBase applications. Stonebridge will ship the equipment to the travel agency where Sabre technical personnel will bring the system up and into production. Stonebridge CEO James Ivy said, “This relationship is structured to allow both companies to focus on what they do best. For Sabre, that means providing industry-leading technology for the travel sector; for Stonebridge, it means providing superior infrastructure solutions tailored to our client’s needs.” About Stonebridge Technologies Stonebridge Technologies, a provider of business and technology integration services, helps companies achieve a higher level of operational excellence through more effective integration of data, technology, processes and people.
