The Who, How and What of Data Aggregation

The who, how and what of data aggregation goes largely unanswered in the environment of today's procurement based travel program. Sourcing and procurement have an insatiable appetite for information. But the information traditional tools provide are not sufficient for the business. Average ticket price was yesterday's requirement. Today the company's financial executives need metrics that can be shared easily across the enterprise with business unit leaders to help them make informed decisions. Necessity has become the mother of invention for a number of travel managers, who have filled the void of useful date through development of their own financial dashboards. These pioneers will share with attendees how they transformed expense data into financial intelligence for the corporation.
