Summary

During this webcast, travel technology provider Amadeus will explore critical issues for the efficient procurement and management of travel in 2009. Following recent research undertaken by CFO Europe Research Services and Amadeus, this webcast explores selected key findings and trends in detail. For example:

Making the right cost cuts: How are companies adjusting their travel programmes and policy to the current economic climate?

• In today's climate when is it productive to travel? When does travel result in the highest return for the company?

New travel technologies for travel savings

• Online self booking tools: the visual guilt effect in action
• Automated expense reporting: no pain, lots to gain
• Social networking tools: a danger to company policy compliance or a great cost savings opportunity?

The need for hard data

• How can the elusive 'single view of travel' be achieved to give companies greater visibility and control on what and how they are spending on travel?

The integration of T&E; with corporate IT platforms

• The majority of CFOs see the benefits of integrating T&E; systems, however they are very far from achieving it. What can companies do in the short term to bridge the gap?

Travel & Finance: bridging the relationship gap

• What does Finance want Travel to focus on in the short term and how can technology help Travel teams deliver?

In short this webcast will advise financial teams on how to manage travel costs to ensure maximum impact to the bottom line with minimum impact to business performance and customer satisfaction.
