The travel program at
computing technology firm Dell last year deployed rate-shopping tools for hotel
and air, strengthened controls on its card program and maximized unused airline
ticket funds. The company also altered its travel policy to globalize daily
meal limits and changed its receipt-requirement threshold. Dell travelers book
online through Concur Travel and file expenses through Concur Expense. The
company’s 2015 U.S.-booked air volume decreased by $13 million from 2014, and
70 percent of U.S.-booked tickets were for domestic travel. This year, Dell’s
travel program is focused on successful integration with EMC, having completed
the $60 billion acquisition of the information management and technology
company in September. Soon-to-be-named Dell Technologies, the combined company
of Dell and EMC has approximately 140,000 employees, though layoffs of between
2,000 and 3,000 employees are expected, mostly in the United States in the
supply, marketing and general administration divisions.
