About E-Travel, Inc. 

E-Travel, Inc. was incorporated in 1995 by a team of seasoned leaders in business travel management who saw a market in search of tools and methods to control travel spending,  streamline services, and reduce the cost of delivering travel services to corporations of all sizes. Based upon their individual experiences in airlines, global travel agency networks, and major corporations, this team knew that there were significant opportunities to advance the level of automation used in an industry where technology development had been allowed to stagnate after early successes. Believing that the best opportunity to control spending and reduce the cost of service rested in an automated solution residing at the customer's site, E-Travel developed its first system for a client-server environment, then a rapidly growing technology. When the marketplace was shaken by the introduction of web-based commerce in 1996, E-Travel rapidly responded with a new system which permitted corporate users to migrate to the Internet. E-Travel has continued to grow by incorporating new technologies and approaches to travel management in subsequent releases. Today, the E-TRAVELTM System is installed on more than 200  corporate networks.  Visit  www.e-travel.com.
