Amadeus, a global technology and distribution
partner to the travel industry, and Concur, a provider of
on-demand employee spend management solutions, have entered into a
long-term alliance to bring key technologies together for a
combined travel and expense management solution.
This includes the integration of travel bookings
from Amadeus e-Travel Management (AeTM) into Concur Expense, as
well as unique integration of Amadeus core distribution technology
into Concur Cliqbook Travel – the first time Amadeus has provided
this type of technology to a third party. Both companies are
currently working towards delivery of the solution in 2010.
Announced at Fusion, Concur’s annual customer
conference in Boca Raton, Florida, the alliance is an extension of
the companies’ vision for offering end-to-end T&E solutions and
gives Concur and Amadeus customers even greater choice for
integrated travel and expense management solutions.
Lisa Akeroyd, Regional Director, Corporate
Solutions, Amadeus Asia Pacific, said, “Through this partnership
with Concur, we will be able to offer our clients an integrated
solution to expense and travel management. We understand that our
clients are looking for efficiency and cost savings, and having
the two industry-leading systems from Concur and Amadeus working
hand-in-hand makes good business sense for any corporation.”
Steve Singh, Chairman and CEO, Concur,
added, “Our
partnership with Amadeus expands our market reach and affords our
clients greater choice and flexibility for managing corporate
travel and expenses on a global basis. This is further validation
for Concur’s industry leading vision and a testament to Concur’s
commitment to be a global technology platform for customers and
partners. We look forward to working with Amadeus to drive greater
innovation in the market.”
