 FCM Travel has expanded its Cytric distribution
agreement with Amadeus to include Cytric Easy.

With this new agreement, the travel management
company becomes a reseller of the solution that is embedded into
Microsoft Teams, enabling corporate travel managers to have access
to the benefits of Cytric Easy technology as part of the FCM
solution portfolio.

Combining Cytric Easy with the global reach of FCM
Travel will allow corporate travel managers to provide a
collaborative experience to their corporate travelers by fully
embedding travel booking and trip sharing into Microsoft Teams.

“At FCM Travel, we work to bring agility to corporate travel
programs, driving value and creating simplicity. With an unique
approach to building technology, our partnership with Cytric Easy
from Amadeus is a great example of this ambition in action,” said Marcus Eklund,
FCM Global Managing Director. “The
tool has the potential to be a transformative addition to our
portfolio, driving efficiency, collaboration, and cost savings for
our customers.”

Cytric Easy allows users to search, compare, and book an hotel,
flight or car rental, without ever leaving Microsoft Teams. It
provides the ability to share trip information,
including trips from the airport or rail station with Share My
Transfer, minimizing the time spent discussing trips with
colleagues.

The Event Manager feature enables event planners to
provide a collaborative, seamless way to allow travelers and
non-travelers to participate in an event with real-time
information, including sharing participant trip data, trip
recommendations, the event agenda, or related documentation and
useful links, in one single place.

“Corporate buyers are looking for innovation
from technology providers while leveraging existing applications
within their corporate IT environment,” said Mark Cullen, Chief Commercial Officer, Amadeus
Cytric. “The partnership will
allow buyers to leverage the combined strengths of Cytric Easy and
FCM Travel within their existing productivity platforms, namely
Microsoft Teams.”

FCM Travel is the large market corporate travel
division of Flight Centre Travel Group.
