Case Study: Berg-Hansen achieves higher productivity and growth with Progress Software OpenEdge

Maintaining Growth And Productivity In A Season Of Change

Berg-Hansen, Norway’s second-largest corporate travel agency, faced intense margin pressure as airlines cut commissions and online booking alternatives grew. To stay competitive, the company needed a highly efficient, corporate-friendly self-service booking model and relied on Progress Software, including Progress OpenEdge, to support its core booking and accounting systems.

Progress Software helped Berg-Hansen build a scalable self-service and integration platform with OpenEdge 11, advanced replication, transparent data encryption, and improved performance for web and mobile services. The result was more than 60% of air reservations processed via web self-service, seamless handling of peak record reads, stronger backup and failover capabilities, and nearly doubled company size over ten years while keeping headcount flat.
