One of the best parts of my job as CEO of Emburse is to build strong relationships with partners in order to deliver better solutions to our mutual customers. So today, I’m incredibly excited about the announcement of the strategic expansion of the partnership between Emburse and Amadeus.

We have had a technology partnership for several years, and we share several major global customers. But with this new alliance, we’re taking things to the next level. As of today, Emburse will be the preferred expense partner for Cytric by Amadeus customers across the U.S., UK, Scandinavia and Benelux, and Cytric Travel and Cytric Easy will be offered by Emburse in those markets.

This brings major benefits for customers or prospective customers of Amadeus Cytric in these markets. Emburse delivers a world-class, enterprise-scale expense management solution that integrates deeply into the Cytric travel booking environment, reducing complexity and making the business travel process easier for your entire organization.

When travelers book - or change - travel in Cytric Travel or Cytric Easy, the booking data and receipts will flow automatically into Emburse, making it incredibly simple to reconcile itineraries and payments. And then when your team is on a trip, it’s so easy to do expenses - just take a picture of the receipt, upload it, and our AI-based receipt reader will do the rest for you. All expenses are automatically verified against your organization’s spending policy, so your managers can focus on their work, instead of having to go through every line item for approvals. This deep integration simplifies the T&E process for travelers, approvers and accountants–improving everyone’s experience.

We are partnering with Amadeus because of its innovation leadership and footprint among global enterprises. This relationship enables us to empower the businesses with state-of-the-art tools that offer greater simplicity for their end-users, while creating value for the enterprise through greater visibility and more efficient travel spending.

Taking a quick step back, if you haven’t heard of Emburse, allow me to do a quick introduction. We deliver award-winning expense management tools that are used by about 12 million business travelers in about 120 countries worldwide. We have more than 18,000 customers across all of our solutions, with customers that range from Exxon Mobil to Nike and Honda.

Our Emburse Chrome River Expense solution has won countless awards and is rated as a Leader in IDC’s influential MarketScape report. In addition to simple expense creation on the go, our mobile-centric solutions include Emburse Go, a powerful travel companion app to streamline the entire trip experience, and Emburse-issued virtual cards, which enable businesses to easily track and control employee spend, while eliminating the need for out-of-pocket spend.

When it comes to managing your organization’s overall travel spend, Cytric and Emburse can not only apply your corporate policy to travel bookings, but can also easily control out-of-pocket spend. And with all of that detailed transactional data, our sophisticated spend analytics capabilities can help you to easily spot potential areas for additional cost savings.

I’m certain you’ll see the value that this strategic partnership can deliver for you, so please reach out to us for more information.
