HighDeal and Bull Take to the Skies with OnAir

The Airbus and SITA subsidiary, OnAir, a provider of IT solutions for the transporation industry has chosen Highdeal and Bull to manage Mobile OnAir, its mobile telephony offer aimed at airline companies.

OnAir enables airline passengers to use their portable devices (laptops, mobile phones and PDAs) as well as the airplane’s own equipment, to communicate with folks on the ground using voice, text and multimedia messaging.

Highdeal’s Transactive pricing and rating solution will be used to calculate the percentages and manage the commission owed to airline companies from the OnAir service. Partners can be commissioned according to usage, percentage, variations in volume or hourly time slots. Highdeal Transactive is also used for the billing of Internet Service installations, WebMail and WebChat, that are offered by OnAir. Also, the bandwidth service provided by Link OnAir will also be billed using the Highdeal Transactive software solution.

Bull will create OnAir’s information systems, including billing, reconciliation from Highdeal Transactive, business-critical processes and Business Intelligence functionality.

Jean-Damien Beaud, Director of OnAir’s Information Systems. Said in a statement that “Our mobile telephony offer is at the crossroads of the telecomunications and aeronautics industries. We were quickly convinced by the different features of the Highdeal Transactive software solution as its functional coverage corresponds to our needs, particularly when calculating interconnection costs and bill-cross-referencing which are an essential part of our business.”
