• Traditionally, larger corporations rely on negotiated rates when booking business travel
• Marketplace:
  • Limited companies to shopping only the largest travel, hospitality, and transportation providers
  • Left out schools, corporations, associations, foundations, and the government
  • Left out small, medium, and large providers of hospitality and travel services who may be on-line but not connected to the global marketplace
• Marketplace complexities make it difficult for many companies to compete due to:
  • Emerging new channels
  • Eroding price margins
  • Increasing customer demands
  • Soaring energy costs
• Overcoming market complexities:
  • Technology has become a strategic tool
  • Solutions have become available for small and independent companies to compete
• The RFP Marketplace allows for:
  • Larger numbers of opportunities
  • Larger numbers of respondents
  • Prescreening and inviting of bidders
  • Private secure comparison of offers and communications between parties
  • Intuitive user interface designed to support the business parties
