VICTORIA, British Columbia and SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 16, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
UNIT4 Business Software (http://www.unit4software.com), a division
of UNIT4, the world's leading provider of business software for fast
changing organizations, and Sabre Travel Network today announced the
seven-year renewal of their partnership to advance their travel back-office
software, Sabre CentralCommand with Agresso. Representing a significant
investment, the agreement reflects the success of CentralCommand in helping
large travel management companies (TMCs) be more efficient, more profitable
and able to embrace business change independently in a simple, quick and
cost-effective way.
"Continuing our successful journey with Sabre will provide ongoing
benefits to our customers, which include many of Sabre's largest clients,"
says Ab van Marion, COO of UNIT4. "Our partnership represents a clear
commitment to ongoing R&D in CentralCommand ensuring it remains the most
agile business information system available for the travel industry. We look
forward to evolving CentralCommand, responding to new technology trends like
the cloud, and further establishing our presence in this key sector."
CentralCommand is a fully-integrated travel accounting and back-office
financial management and business intelligence solution. With its ability to
automate manual tasks and its multi-lingual, multi-currency, and
multi-country capabilities, CentralCommand has seen particular success among
large TMCs with multiple locations, multiple lines of business and global
operations.
"CentralCommand combines best in class financial management tools with
Sabre's industry-leading back-office solutions for large TMCs. Specifically
designed for the travel industry, CentralCommand helps customers save money,
increase productivity and access critical business information, no matter
how challenging or rapidly changing their business environment is," said
Chris Kroeger, senior vice president of marketing for Sabre Travel Network.
"For Sabre Travel Network, offering CentralCommand in partnership with UNIT4
represents an important part of our Sabre Red portfolio, ensuring we have
the most robust selection of business intelligence products."
CentralCommand's unique architecture is specifically designed for
organizations that are facing frequent, ongoing change - a hallmark of the
travel industry where key performance indicators are highly fluid, mergers
and acquisitions occur and considerable regulatory and competitive pressures
exist. With CentralCommand, customers can quickly respond to changing
business needs.
Sabre and UNIT4 originally partnered in 2002 to create CentralCommand,
which is now used by TMCs across North America, Latin America and Europe.
