Hewlett Packard Enterprise made significant policy changes
focused on cost savings in 2016. The company cut down its premium traveler
list, implemented ride-sharing and eliminated black car and taxi use. HPE
exceeded savings targets associated with Cvent's online events management
software and introduced an automated dashboard for travelers. U.S.-booked air
volume decreased 17 percent.
For 2017, HPE plans to drive compliance with its strategic
meetings management program and implement a corporate card program with Citi.
The travel program also will support some HPE restructuring. HPE spun off
Enterprise Services and merged it with CSC in April to create DXC Technology.
And Micro Focus' acquisition of HPE's software segment is expected to close
this year. The transactions follow Hewlett-Packard's 2015 split into Hewlett
Packard Enterprise and HP Inc.
For HPE, 83 percent of air spend booked in the U.S. went
through approved online tools in 2016. Last year, 59 percent of U.S.-booked air
volume was for domestic travel. HPE has 90,000 travelers, and the company
reported $50 billion in revenue for 2016.
