The core of the Sabre® Red™ travel solution is our powerful Sabre Red Workspace. It's not a "desktop" as other companies are touting, but a customizable workspace that provides unprecedented flexibility to put everything users need right at their fingertips.
The Red Workspace is built on a technology platform that is among the most elite systems in the world. In fact, this future-ready open technology is the same used by NASA to command its missions to Mars. Superior speed, superior dependability, superior flexibility, superior ability to simplify complex operations. The only difference between them and you? The ultimate destination of the trips managed.
Sabre Red Workspace is free to all Sabre ConnectedSM agents. Some of the available added features require an additional fee or subscription; however, many are available at no cost.
The Red Workspace will allow agents to utilize traditional GDS formats in a Classic View, or utilize a highly intuitive workflow in an all new Graphical View. Plus it's multi GDS capable - enabling simplified operations with standardized workflow across your locations.
The Red Workspace also delivers a continually growing list of new capabilities and graphical workflow modules via easy-to-use Sabre Red Apps. Examples of Red Apps coming soon from Sabre include fully graphical view (including graphical profile, graphical air shopping, booking and exchanges, graphical hotel), robust script library, a new administrative dashboard, business intelligence reports, and more.
But that's just the beginning. With the workspace platform's superior capability to integrate applications, customers can write their own Red Apps (or convert existing applications) using Sabre Qik Developer or standard development tools such as .Net, Java, Flex and Flash. And look for Red Apps coming from 100+ Sabre Authorized Developers. Red Apps seamlessly plug into the Red Workspace to create the industry's most customizable travel solution.
As it's increasingly harder to find experienced agents with GDS format knowledge - an intuitive, graphical workflow enables you to tap into a broader labor pool and to minimize training for new agents. Even for the most experienced agents - a keyboard-driven graphical view brings powerful, productivity into the Red Workspace. Agents benefit from advanced "online" shopping capabilities across many options and dates, as well as integration of ancillary options. And the Workspace enables you to bring quality control upfront into the workflow to minimize rework and service issues.
