Technology providers Amadeus and Concur announce a tie-up today that will increase the market reach of both and create an end-to-end solution for business travel agents, from booking to collating management information.
The alliance offers a combined travel and expense management solution by integrating bookings from Amadeus e-Travel Management (AeTM) into Concur Expense. Amadeus distribution technology will be wound into Concur Cliqbook Travel – the first time Amadeus. Delivery is expected during 2010.
Executive vice president commercial at Amadeus Philippe Chereque said: “This partnership enables Amadeus to provide clients with an integrated system to make their travel and expense reporting process easier and allows us to expand our market reach and drive increased adoption. We have tremendous respect for Concur’s vision and product strategy and believe there will be great value for joint customers.”
Concur chairman and CEO Steve Singh added: “Our partnership with Amadeus affords our clients greater choice and flexibility for managing corporate travel and expenses on a global basis.”
