Travel Software

The Semi-Automatic Business Research Environment (SABRE) system goes online in 1960 to serve airlines, railways, hotels, and other travel companies. The system is created by American Airlines and IBM in the 1950’s and features the debut of online transaction processing based on real-time computing. By 1964, SABRE is the largest private data processing system in the world. Today, the Travelocity website serves as a consumer front-end interface to the system.
