Modern T&E Management: The Path to Business & Economic Recovery
According to Oxford Economics, $1 spent on corporate travel returns $12.50 in revenue. As enterprises look to accelerate their business recoveries, the safe and cost-effective return of travel is mission-critical. Yet according to a survey earlier this year, most CFOs don't believe their organization's T&E -- their second largest controllable spend -- is managed well.
Legacy T&E solutions have long forced CFOs to compromise between cost control and traveler experience -- often doing neither well. Join Aragon Research founder, CEO and lead Analyst, Jim Lundy, as he dives into the latest research on enterprise T&E management and hosts a discussion with CFOs who have ditched the status quo for a better path forward.
