Policy Best Practice Roadmap Report Posted!

While much of the industry took a break the past week to rest up in advance of what promises to be an exciting year in business travel, the EXPERT INSIGHTS elves were working until the wee hours of 2011 to put out our last Best Practice Roadmap report of the year: Course of Action - Update Travel Policy Today.

Careful travel policy development and on-going review is essential to successful business travel management. Based on analysis of nearly 100 policies in force at companies today, this report examines existing business practices to highlight where companies likely need to develop and revise their documents and compliance strategies to best address current industry trends in business travel.

EXPERT INSIGHTS subscribers should have received the PDF report in their email boxes Friday, but can also access the report and the whole archive of research, including the 2012 Forecast, in the EXPERT INSIGHTS section right here on btX.

Anyone else interested in a free trial of EXPERT INSIGHTS can email AdvisoryServices@aexp.com through the end of January and we'll be happy to grant access to all of our industry updates, best practice reports, price benchmarking data in the Busienss Travel Monitor, and Forecasts through the end of Q1.

We plan to do even more this year to use our access to the largest repository of aggregate business data, unique industry insight, and travel management program optimization consulting experience to help organizations achieve a competitive advantage through their travel programs in 2012.

Here's to a great new year!
