Solution · Provider Migration

Change travel providers without rebuilding the data foundation and downstream processes.

NP4 maintains the customer-specific data and process layer during planned transitions between TMCs, security, data, content or other travel providers.

Discuss your use case Solutions

Situation

A provider migration separates the changeover, data transfer, parallel operation and acceptance from the stable data contracts used by reporting, duty of care, approvals, communication and enterprise systems. The aim is to continue supplying the shared Travel Data Suite data foundation and agreed downstream processes in a controlled way during the transition.

A previous and a new provider connect to the shared data foundation within the Travel Data Suite. Reporting, Duty of Care and other processes remain connected.

NP4

NP4’s role

NP4 has provider-independent data consolidation, integration and mapping experience. Scope, parallel operation and migration tooling are agreed for each project.

Approach

Every provider change is planned as a controlled transition.

Inventory

Capture sources, fields, downstream systems, responsibilities and dependencies.

Map

Relate legacy and new data to a shared travel model and defined quality rules.

Validate in parallel

Compare data states, process views and exports throughout the transition.

Plan the provider transition

Define cutover, error paths, transition period and old-provider exit unambiguously.

Typical situations

When this solution becomes relevant

Global or regional TMC, OBT or back-office change

Change of a travel risk or security provider

New data, content, payment or expense provider

Consolidation of multiple providers across regional or global travel programmes

Relevant products

Map travel data from agreed old and new sources to a shared structure so that data states can be compared during the planned transition period.
