Trisept Solutions Expands International Reach
with 10th Airline Client, Air New Zealand


Milwaukee Technology Company is First to Launch Online Dynamic Booking Engine in New Zealand

MILWAUKEE, WI - April 6, 2005 - Trisept Solutions is pleased to announce that Air New Zealand has implemented Trisept’s dynamic packaging and travel distribution technology for the Air New Zealand Holidays operation. Air New Zealand is Trisept Solutions’ first international airline client, but the 10th airline to use its technology.

Air New Zealand launched its New Zealand point of sale products using Trisept’s dynamic packaging technology and plans to release other country points of sale, including the United States, in the coming months.

"For the past ten years, Air New Zealand Holidays has been providing customers with travel options to many of Air New Zealand’s destinations and this latest development now takes that offering into a dynamic, online environment," said Air New Zealand Group General Manager Marketing Network and Sales, Norm Thompson. "As the number one travel Web site in New Zealand, our customers have been looking for a dynamic online holiday product that offers a variety of ground options."

Air New Zealand Holidays operates from its offices in Auckland New Zealand, accessing Trisept’s technology via the Internet. Trisept Solutions’ technology allows Air New Zealand to create and manage a leisure travel marketplace with access to a broad range of hotel, car and optional inclusions as a part of the services that Air New Zealand offers.

Additional International Online Packaging Possible

Trisept Solutions’ technology is also scalable to meet the needs of other international travel providers. Trisept’s dynamic packaging and distribution services enable sellers of travel to share common inventory rules. Regardless of currency, time zone or unique regional tax structures, Trisept Solutions’ technology makes it simple to package, merchandise and sell leisure travel.

Trisept Solutions launched Air New Zealand Online Holidays on April 3, 2005 (http://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/). The multi-tiered travel technology rollout includes multiple consumer Web sites and the development of travel center (call center) applications, utilizing Trisept’s popular VAX VacationAccess technology.

“We’re excited to have Air New Zealand, as our tenth airline brand, joining our deep portfolio of airlines who use our technology for their leisure travel distribution platform,” said John Ische, president and CEO of Trisept Solutions.

“Working with Air New Zealand has provided a platform for us to show that we can provide industry-leading technology to international air carriers - just as we have provided to U.S. point of sale airlines for years,” said Ische. “For international air carriers we have an ideal travel distribution solution. One technology base, one inventory, rate and rules base, and an integrated service solution for all of points of sale.”

Trisept developed a direct link to Air New Zealand’s host reservation system, CARINA, to ensure their package operations sold air tickets in the most efficient way.

With Trisept’s technology, Air New Zealand is now able to package and distribute extensive air and hotel-inclusive vacation products to and from New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific and select U.S. cities.
