Traveldoo introduces Traveldoo Enterprise, the first pan-European online travel spend management platform.

Paris, France, 17 May 2004 - Traveldoo, the European software solution provider for online travel spend management, announces the release of Traveldoo Enterprise, a new online travel spend management platform. This solution proposes a new set of capabilities to help large organisations improve the performance of their travel procurement processes and optimise their European travel spend.

Traveldoo Enterprise is based on the unique combination of three components: an online reservation platform, designed for scalability and open to European content diversity; powerful tools for extended travel policy management; and a set of interactive dashboards delivering an unprecedented visibility over travel program performance.

Traveldoo Enterprise has drawn on experiences from first pan-European implementations, emanates from ideas and suggestions of our clients and large organisations in Europe. Thus, Traveldoo delivers a new solution fully aligned with today's diversity of the European market and offers the flexibility to adapt quickly to future changes.

Because the success of online corporate travel services depends on their adoption by end-users, Traveldoo Enterprise integrates content in sync with European market specificities, and process innovations such as the '3-Click Booking' and the '1-Click Search' for hotels around company's frequent destinations. Usability is also very much linked to application response time and reliability. Traveldoo Enterprise is built on Java 2 Platform (J2EE), uses Web Services and the latest GDS interfaces (Amadeus epower, Galileo Web Services…). This translates into immediate benefits for our clients: scalability, interoperability and reliability.

"Although global trends underpin the evolution of the travel industry, each regional market is characterised by its own dynamic and specificities. Today, no 'global' product in the marketplace can effectively serve large organisations in Europe" said Olivier Mindren, Vice President Marketing, Traveldoo. "We propose a new evolutionary solution, Traveldoo Enterprise, to address more efficiently the diversity and the growing complexity of European markets".
