TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY FIRM AMADEUS has partnered with US-based IT company Cornerstone Information Systems, to provide new tools for business travel agents and corporate travel managers.
The deal, announced at the ACTE conference in Paris, initially sees Amadeus distribute two new Cornerstone products: iBank for enhanced business intelligence reporting, and iQCX, an automated reservation management system.
Amadeus corporate travel vice-president Albert Pozo said: “Agents and travel managers urgently need to implement smart technology to improve the time-consuming and costly manual aspects of the reservation management process, and have access to relevant information to manage and measure travel programmes more effectively. Our partnership with Cornerstone gives customers access to exceptional value at a global level.”
