GDS, OBT, Profile System, TMC systems, Duty of Care system, Pre-Trip Approval system and EMS. These are the components of the typical “technology stack” involved in your travel management. But different systems aren’t compatible with others. If you try to get the best of each on its merits, you can run into problems. Join our expert panel to discuss how you navigate your way through the disjointed world of travel technology?
