The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is interested in a solution to improve automation of its travel processes via implementation of a travel management system covering travel requests, planning, approvals, online booking, travel expense claims and limited integration with its ERP solution (Oracle EBS 12.1).
Travel is critical to the OSCE. From field operations to conferences, for staff and non-staff, travel is a regular part of everyday OSCE business. The travel management support activities: budgeting planning, booking tickets, calculating DSAs, paying advances and travel claims, represent a material amount of staff effort and costs, both in programmatic and administrative areas.
Key approximate travel numbers from OSCE:
• 15,000 travel requests per year
• 12,000 air flight booking per year
• 20,000 new suppliers registered in 2014
• 10,000 travellers per year
• 200-250 Travel Arranger
• 250 Approver
The requirement entails the implementation and continuous operation, support and maintenance of an externally hosted Travel Management Solution. The solution should cover the following:
• Travel Requests and Planning
• Online approval workflow
• Online booking and ticketing (either proprietary or using our current AXTM tool)
• Travel Expense Claims
• Reporting
