Tags: , ,

The story is very clear: managing travel on a global basis has switched from being the exception to the rule, and the pace of globalization is increasing. “Think globally, act locally” is a much-used phrase in corporate travel. While easy enough to say, putting it into practice is considerably harder. This white paper therefore defines some local issues which continue to trouble global programs and suggests ways in which the gap between global and local might be bridged.

Mobile travel management tools continue to create a lot of buzz in the industry, whether in the form of itinerary managers, flight delay/cancellation notification, mobile hotel check-in or other newsworthy technologies. These service-oriented applications are great for travelers, but they do not necessarily support enterprise travel management, with data, compliance assurance or other benefit for the travel program. To that end, the managed program would likely need configurable travel shopping, booking and expense reporting tools on a mobile platform.
