Jon Pickles, Director Pro EQ says: "I was very pleased to win this contract with Thomas Cook Signature. The main challenge has been the integration of the web site to the back end reservation system and also in providing a platform on which Thomas Cook can easily and rapidly change offers and styling. In 2006 we will further enhance the site to link in with the content management system at TCS".
