WALTHAM, Mass./ Nov. 28, 2000--e-Travel, Inc. (www.e-travel.com), the leading provider of Enterprise Travel Management (ETM) solutions, recently hosted its Fall User Group at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, Cambridge, Mass. Held in the Fall and Spring, the e-Travel User Group (e-TUG) is an educational interactive forum specifically designed to give customers a better understanding of the industry, the ETM suite of services, and e-Travel's goals within the corporate travel sector. The featured guest speaker Henry Harteveldt, leading business travel industry analyst at Forrester Research, addressed the distribution environment, online travel marketplaces, the business traveler and the wireless web.
The User Group proved to be extremely beneficial. Customers had the opportunity to find out firsthand about product plans and to meet with the e-Travel team responsible for product development. The e-TUG environment was also conducive to networking and information sharing between colleagues.
"The User Group was a huge success," said Bart Littlefield, vice president of marketing, e-Travel, Inc. "The participants had the opportunity to interact with members of the e-Travel and Oracle teams, as well as our ETM partners. Customers provided us with insight into what they need from their business travel solutions, and e-Travel helped define the value of integration throughout their corporate systems. We are looking forward to continued success with our Spring User Group."
Among the topics covered at e-TUG were a case study presented by Andy Tellers, U.S. travel operations manager, NCR; updates on customer support and product plans; and latest on online meeting planning by John Lavin, COO and President of StarCite.
