Introduction to SIS (General Webcast)

• Integrated Settlement is based on the
  principles of completely paperless billing,
  invoicing, and settlement
• Benefits include
• Data quality improvements to the billed carrier
• Billing carriers upload format doesnt impact
  billed carriers download format
• Reduction in paper and courier fees and internal
  supply chain (paper handling) costs
• Automation Optional Services
• Quicker cash flow due to reduced rejection
  timeframes
• Airline Profile to be a centralized database
  for all IS options and permissions
• IS features discussed are subject to change

8
Non-core Functionality

• Core functionality of SIS enables paperless
  billing and settlement.
• The non-core functionality is considered by the
  SIS Working Groups to be value-added services
  its final inclusion is dependent upon
  implementation costs and airline demand and will
  likely be billed to carriers separately, based on
  usage.
• Non-core functionality includes (but is not
  limited to)
• IS-XML File Format
• Non-core functionality is coloured orange on the
  following pages

  flag which identifies when the authority to bill
  has been issued
• Not tied to settlement periods like transactions
  in Integrated Settlement real-time and similar
  to e-mail but via IS-WEB interface
• Validation ensures no cross-over
  correspondence can only be in reply to another
  correspondence (or 3rd-stage RM) and cannot be
  out-of-order
