1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The travel process and mobility these days of the basic things that cannot be dispensed with, where each of us has something to travel for him, such as education, tourism and pilgrimage and other things that cannot be avoided, and air travel one of the main factors moving these days, and that was surrounded by some problems are not an appropriate seat and booked at the right price without having to ignore the idea of comfort and well-being in some time, so we worked to create an application that facilitates the booking properly and favorable prices
1.1. Issue
Applications are considered in the Arabic language in general lack of efficiency and quality significantly, although there is some Najd attempts referred to Mendez, Arab users are suffering from a lack of service programs that describe as programs for travel and booking, where there are several in each price per seat at the same time application and some applications allow booking on a specific category but not for businessmen all this led us to participate in this humble work that may easily be characterized and suitable for many groups and users, we have worked to reduce the time of booking with an emphasis on safety dramatically and diversity of the times and the use of a graphical interface is It seems attractive and interesting for the customer, we hope we have finally according to work to reach the desired goal.
1.2. Anticipated Outcomes
After the completion of this project will have many suitable and easy way to get booked flight commensurate with the nature of his work and appropriate times and at competitive prices and through a program that has an interesting view of the content is useful where the project is interested in many of the categories that Insteps with them booking, whether economic or both male businessman and are not easy to distinguish the style of the program works with any of the categories, but offers a unique service to everyone in a fair and useful.
1.3. Recommendation
Through a set of standards that put us by the Doctor, and set the conditions and the elements that must project contains so we have to find a way put through which our experience in the material in the required service project where We sponsored some of the elements, such as a certain Tovar add of my classes and elements such as menus and other and the use of graphical interfaces that facilitate the user's work significantly so that we get the program easy to use and useful results.
1.4. Justification
The use of airline many employees in the currency and booking service and other administrative functions of the old centralized system to a platform on the Internet leads to increased cost in relation to the company's resources and business operations. Is opened many branches and hiring and office rents, which exhausts the project budget and this contrasts with the strategy and goals of any company because it the clearly profit. While the analysis of other alternatives and the status quo, has been selected a project to build an application to book a flight to the proposal in this business case because it provides the best opportunity to achieve the benefits of an accelerated manner while also allowing for greater improvement in the efficiency and reduce costs. Other alternatives are supposed greater risk, provided fewer benefits, it was very difficult to determine, or were not in line with the appropriate and / or the current strategy of the company's goals.
Preliminary estimates for the application to book a flight are:
‘ 25% reduction in overhead costs in the first 12 months
‘ 15% decrease in employee turnover in the first 12 months
‘ 53% immediate decrease in time to generate weekly and monthly financial reports
‘ 33% immediate decrease in the amount of time it takes to resolve payroll issues

3. PROBLEM DEFINITION
3.1. Problem Statement
Since we entered the section we have worked to be prominent members follow through technology and High Technical Sciences, we have noticed most airlines rely on a central system to manage payroll and other administrative officer functions. As the number of employees grows, so does the burden on the seat to achieve effective management of the company's management at acceptable levels. In the past two years it has hired Etihad Airways 20000 employees in public office to assist in the management and operation of bookings and through offices. This provides a few positions or no return on investment as they are positions that are not billable and only maintain the status quo. They do nothing to improve the company's management. In addition, the staff must now call regional directors to enter the working hours, and raise any concerns about the salaries and administrative tasks. This puts a huge burden on managers who have much balance these requirements with their day to day tasks billing.
And in the presence of the new application we may have to dissolve most of the problem one way or another by reducing the cost and increase productivity and improve eBook payment mechanism which helps to reduce the inflation that exists economy..
3.2. Organizational Impact
This section describes how the proposed project we will modify or affect the regulatory processes, tools and hardware, and / or programs. It should also explain any new roles that will be created or how it could be that the current roles change as a result of the project.
And create an application to book airline affecting air traffic and transport in several ways. The following high-level explanation of the extent of the organization affected, tools, and processes, and the roles and responsibilities as a result of implementation of a project to build an application to book airline:
Tools: will be phased existing old administration platform completely out as I stood a project to build an application to book airline until it becomes operational. This requires staff training on the application and used in support of other organizational tools.
Operations: with a project to build an application to book airline management processes and salaries comes more efficient and streamlined. This will improve the efficiency and reduce the burden on managers and provide autonomy for workers in business management and administrative procedures and salaries.
Roles and Responsibilities: In addition to a project to build an application to book airline more autonomy to employees and less burden on managers, and manpower needed to staff appropriately resources departments Human salaries will be reduced. While we highly value our employees, and the reduction of overhead functions as non-billable directly reflected in our profitability and provide immediate return on our investment. A new platform will be managed by the IT group, we do not expect any changes in the recruitment of information technology requirements.
Hardware / software: In addition to software and licenses for the project, there will be a need for the airline to buy additional servers to accommodate the platform and its growth is expected during the next 10 years.
3.3. Technology Migration
In order to effectively navigate the existing data from the platform of our heritage to the new platform on the new application, and has been a gradual approach to the development of which will result in minimal / no disruption of daily operations, management, activities and salaries. The following is an overview of the high level of incremental approach:
Phase I: will buy the hardware / software and will create a flight booked on the internet and tested by a group of information technology development.
Phase II The range of information technology platform to stand on a temporary heritage in the laboratory of technology to be used in the daily operations of the activities of salaries and administration. These will be used as a backup and also to archive all data from the computer company.
Phase III: the new application will be filled with all the salaries of existing staff and administrative data. This must be done in conjunction with the end of the pay cycle.
Phase IV: All staff will be trained on the new platform on the new application.
Phase V: The platform of the new application goes live and will be archived legacy of the central system and stepped down.
