This is part of the ongoing deployment of the Datalex business travel management solution throughout Deutsche Telekom’s global organisation by its subsidiary T-Systems, a European systems house.

Certified by Deutsche Bahn this month for all corporate bookings including group bookings, the new connection supports all Deutsche Bahn discount cards or ‘Bahn Cards’ as they are more commonly known. Designed for use by medium and large companies, and capable of managing corporate travel programs in a multi-national environment, the Datalex solution connects to several GDSs and CRSs including the Sixt car rental system.

“The hallmark of our travel distribution platform is its versatility which has enabled the T-Systems team to tailor-make this solution to the specific needs of Deutsche Telekom’s global organization,” says Andreas Schuerrle, Datalex Country Manager, Austria and Germany. “The T-Systems team has done a superb job of stretching and challenging the capabilities of our technology, developing innovative functionality which will enable Deutsche Telekom to see a fast return on its investment.”

Deutsche Telekom, Europe's largest and the world's fifth largest telecommunications group, owns numerous other communications companies globally.
