Amadeus Launches New UI for its Online Corporate Travel Booking Tool

Amadeus has launched its new e-Travel Management User Interface.

The online corporate travel booking tool, Amadeus e-Travel Management (AeTM), used by over 6,000 corporations in 59 markets, helps corporations reduce costs and gain total control of every aspect of the corporate travel process.

AeTM has undergone a completely new workflow redesign, streamlining the booking process itself, making it easier and faster to search, book, review and approve. These changes, coupled with a new look and feel, enable travellers and travel arrangers to make their way through the booking process more intuitively and seamlessly, saving time on tasks. The new intuitive experience, which is closer to the flow that travellers are used to on leisure websites, better enables a higher acceptance of the company travel programme, while reducing the need for heavy management and mandating processes, hence driving business costs down.

Olive Kavanagh, Travel Category Manager, Strategy & Technology, Microsoft said, “We welcomed the introduction of the new AeTM user interface, which provides an updated user experience that is more aligned with familiar consumer travel sites. Following a successful pilot in Ireland, we are currently in the process of migrating a number of other EMEA markets. The rollout has been seamless, requiring minimal communication to our employees and receiving only positive feedback. It’s great to see AeTM evolving and we look forward to continued updates and new functionality.”

In conjunction with the launch of the new UI, Amadeus is preparing to launch its mobile booking app, Amadeus e-Travel Management Mobile, which is currently in beta testing mode in Scandinavia and should be available to users in the next few months.

The new tool allows travellers to make new air and rail bookings via their mobile devices including iPhone and Android, ensuring efficiency and continuity of service for travellers on the road.
