Headquartered in New York, MMC is parent to five global professional services companies: Marsh – a risk and insurance services company; Guy Carpenter – a risk and reinsurance specialist; Kroll – ta risk consulting company; Mercer – a major global provider of human resource and specialty consulting services; and Oliver Wyman Group – provider of specialized expertise in strategy, operations, risk management, organizational information and leadership development. Employing about 55,000, MMC generated roughly US$11.4 billion in revenue in 2007.

Judy Bauer, global corporate travel head for MMC, said, “We awarded the business to BCD Travel based on a proposed program that supports our overall business objectives in and beyond North America. We were impressed by BCD Travel’s willingness and ability to listen to what we need and create a program customized to the unique needs of our company, culture and travelers. We're excited to partner together in the coming years to streamline our growing travel program.”

Technology also played an important role in MMC’s decision, said Bauer, “Among other solutions put forth in the bid, we were impressed by BCD Travel’s TripSource: Portal and their ability to support our online program, which makes up a significant portion of our business today in major markets.”

John Snyder, CEO of BCD Travel, added, “After servicing MMC in several key markets over the years, we are now building on that success to work on their global program. We are proud that MMC values our state-of-the-art global data management capabilities, extensive consolidation and global implementation experience and ability to meet the needs of MMC travelers across the globe.”
