ProfitLine News

From September 8-10, 2008, users of Lufthansa Systems’ products NetLine, Advance, SchedConnect, ProfitLine, and FrequentLine radiated a very special spirit around the lakeside Kongresshotel am Templiner See near Potsdam: 480 delegates from 70 airlines all over the world exchanged their product ideas and requirements at this year’s Lufthansa Systems Airline Forum, thereby doing justice to the event's motto - The spirit of integration.

Integrated solutions are the key to improved efficiency. Even though integration has been a buzzword for some time now, the issue is more pressing today than ever before. "Our integrated platform solutions offer the customer significant added value. By integrating standalone applications into a coherent platform with a standard user interface, we have reduced complexity and increased transparency. Platform-based applications allow airlines to speed up and slim down their processes – and so reduce costs. Not only that, but these innovative solutions equip their businesses for the future challenges in the industry," said Dr. Gunter Küchler, Member of the Executive Board, in his opening address.

This year, the “market place” in the hotel lobby was the central information and communication area for delegates. The 22 Lufthansa Systems product islands together with user group meeting points provided our customers with an excellent opportunity to watch product demonstrations, to talk shop with our specialists, and to meet and exchange views with other users. Delegates were also able to discover more about methods for maximizing market opportunities and to actively contribute to product development by participating in a lively “open space” session.

The spirit of integration floated above the whole event, particularly the warm welcome offered to our new customers. All participants were invited to enjoy a virtual round the world trip, with new members boarding the flight during stopovers in Italy, Denmark, Estonia, Russia, Egypt, and Brazil.
We are already looking forward to seeing our customers again next year – in Frankfurt, Germany.
