SABRE Corporation has announced a 10-year preferred, strategic partnership with Google which will see the company’s IT infrastructure migrate into the cloud and use Google’s analytic tools to enhance Sabre’s current and future products.
The move is part of a “strategic realignment” of Sabre’s global operations, with CEO Sean Menke also confirming a “right-sizing” of the company involving the loss of about 800 jobs in 43 locations.
The reduction is in addition to about 400 jobs already gone from the company in previously announced voluntary severance and early retirement programs.
Menke said remaining staff would return to work by 06 Jul with 100% of base pay restored, with the new organisation “built upon the premise that retailing, distribution and fulfilment of travel will continue to evolve over the next decade”.
