Sabre has deepened its partnership with India-based global digital services and solutions provider Coforge to "supercharge" its product delivery, particularly its AI initiatives, the company announced.
Sabre already had been working with Coforge on a smaller scale as one of its preferred development partners, but the expanded partnership will allow Sabre to tap Coforge's "scale and expertise" in order to further "Sabre's ability to accelerate product delivery and launch additional innovative AI-enabled solutions," according to Sabre. Coforge reported the partnership contract has a term of 13 years and is valued at about $1.56 billion.
Similarly, Sabre signed a 10-year agreement with Google in 2020, in which it moved its IT infrastructure to Google Cloud's services and tapped its data analytics tools. Sabre SVP for North America agency and Americas delivery and corporate travel solutions Todd Arthur told BTN last year that partnership had enabled "a lot of unique deliverables," including its offer-and-order-capable Mosaic platform.
"Sabre is in an advantaged position to pioneer, build, and deploy the next generation of solutions alongside our continuously expanding travel marketplace, and we look forward to Coforge's partnership in expediting the process," Sabre president and CEO Kurt Ekert said in a statement.
