Adelman Travel Group and IVCi Announce Partnership
MILWAUKEE – May 13, 2010 – Adelman Travel Group, a leader in corporate travel management and IVCi, an expert in the integration of video conferencing and telepresence solutions, audio visual equipment, and managed conferencing services, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate corporate travel management with video conferencing services. This partnership introduces leading edge, cost avoidance strategies to corporate travel clientele.
Through this partnership, Adelman Travel will offer its corporate customers an alternative to traditional travel as a means to conduct business. They will help businesses reduce travel time and expenses with video conferencing solutions that are cost effective, reliable, and easy to use. Adelman Travel's customers will have access to conferencing tools that can demonstrate a definitive return on investment.
IVCi and Adelman Travel are jointly creating a calculator function that will allow business travelers to compare the cost of a business trip to the savings achieved through video conferencing. This solution will provide potential travelers with point-of-sale metrics, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding their travel needs.
"Adelman Travel has been highly successful at increasing our corporate customers' online adoption percentages through proven strategies," said Ivan Imana, Adelman Travel's Vice President of Information Technology. "We will use our expertise and deploy these strategies to increase adoption of video conferencing solutions."
"Our new alliance with IVCi provides our customers with the opportunity to realize additional cost savings through a single solution. This puts Adelman Travel Group on the forefront of managing T&E expenditures through traditional and non-traditional business travel practices," said Steve Cline, COO of Adelman Travel Group. "Our goal is to continue to offer first class service and technology to our customers, while offering alternative solutions to help manage their second or third largest costs."
Through the ground-breaking integration of travel and teleconferencing data, Adelman Travel will offer corporations a transparent look at their expenses related to travel and non-travel. The merging of travel data and video conferencing activity will highlight employee exceptions and demonstrate savings opportunities for better overall program management and cost reduction.
