OAK BROOK, Ill - Jan. 15, 1999--OAG Worldwide, a division
of Reed Business Information, today announced the availability of a complete
Notes/Domino based travel solution designed to revolutionize the world
of business travel.
The OAG Travel Information System(tm) is a streamlined, easy to use, enterprise wide travel planning tool that provides integrated cost control, instantaneous access and immediate audits. By empowering employees to plan business trips at their desktops, corporations can improve productivity and reduce travel costs by up to 30 percent. "We've created an innovative, all-in-one travel solution that enables businesses to be more productive and to address today's third largest business expense -- Travel and Entertainment," said Dennis Flavin, OAG's Vice-President of Enterprise Sales. "A typical company that has 100 travelers can save up to $350,000 a year in productivity and cost comparison savings using the OAG Travel Information System(tm)." OAG has calculated the savings using data based on independent industry standards. Airline, hotel and car-rental savings, corporate preferencing and compliance savings, as well as employee productivity savings are all included in the calculations. Even greater savings can be accrued when the calculations include back office, general ledger, and expense report activity. "By combining the strength of OAG's travel information system with the cutting edge technology of Lotus Notes/Domino, we've created a travel software system that is unrivaled in the industry," said Nancy Dellamore, OAG's Sales Marketing Development Director.
