Virtuoso is the world's leading network of luxury travel advisors, who work with the best hoteliers, cruise lines, tour companies, etc. in the world to create one-of-a-kind experiences for customers with very high expectations. Succeeding in this business in today's age requires a software platform that allows travel advisors to add value above what individuals could find themselves just searching the Internet. Virtuoso's technology organization needed a transformation in order to create that platform.
In late 2008, Virtuoso turned to Maxsam Partners to provide technology leadership and software development to help them streamline processes and build the new platform. Maxsam brought a full leadership team - software engineering, product management, program management, architecture, and IT Operations - who created a top-notch team out of existing and new hires, delivered the first version of the platform in six months, and continue to release new innovations regularly. Maxsam and Virtuoso continue to work together to transform the luxury travel market and related opportunities.
