Amadeus and Microsoft form strategic partnership for travel innovation

Amadeus, a leading travel technology provider, and Microsoft have entered into a global strategic partnership aiming to foster innovation and create improved travel experiences through cloud technology. The collaboration will integrate Microsoft's cloud platform and enterprise technologies with Amadeus' expertise in the travel sector.

The partnership will focus on three key areas: promoting industry-wide collaboration for personalized travel services, joint innovation and product development for advanced traveler experiences, and accelerating Amadeus' migration of its core technical platform to Microsoft Azure public cloud. Microsoft will serve as Amadeus' preferred cloud provider.

Teams from both companies will work to speed up the delivery of new cloud-based solutions, aiming for more seamless journeys in sectors like airlines and hospitality. Initial efforts are expected to concentrate on integrated business travel solutions and closer cooperation with health and travel authorities.

This move aligns with Amadeus' ongoing cloud strategy, accelerating its transition to the public cloud. The company anticipates this will lead to greater operational agility, improved service resilience, faster deployment of new technologies, and enhanced system security.
