KUL – 20-22 Oct 20102010 ICH UG Meeting18 ICH UG Focus on SIS – this will probably be the last major industry meeting before go-live Most of the meeting has been given over to SIS briefings SIS fundamentally changes the way you make your claims E-invoice instead of ICH-Web/F12 Take the opportunity to talk to the SIS project team, and colleagues from other airlines ICH staff will answer any questions on impacts on ICH processes Give us any suggestions for improvements or changes in the services we provide

KUL – 20-22 Oct 20102010 ICH UG Meeting19 Final note For ICH Members SIS is mandatory You don’t have to migrate immediately, or all at once You can be part ICH-Web and part SIS In the SIS world, your invoice is your claim Benefit: Settlement always reconciles to invoices Corollary: Failed invoice = no settlement A huge change for all of us, including ICH itself We will do all we can to support and assist our Members during the transition
