San Mateo, California (PRWEB) February 5, 2008 -- Greenplum, a leading provider of database software for business intelligence, today announced that AirTran Airways has implemented a Revenue Performance Management system from Greenplum and Daxpy that provides AirTran with timely, actionable information to support better operational decision-making. Built using Greenplum Database, the world's most scalable business intelligence database, the system has allowed AirTran to optimize its routes and pricing based on customer needs. The system significantly accelerated AirTran's yield and pricing analyses, enabling the airline to integrate and access massive volumes of data for analysis in a matter of seconds.
AirTran Airways is the second-largest carrier at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, offering passengers more than 700 affordable, daily flights to 56 destinations throughout the United States.

The integrated solution allows AirTran to access and analyze these massive data sets in under 30 seconds, representing a major improvement over previous methods.
"The Revenue Performance Management solution from Greenplum and Daxpy has helped AirTran Airways ensure that we are providing our customers with the flights they want at the best possible prices.
