Virtual collaboration is now widely accepted as a viable option for working with others remotely, advises Advito Managing Director April Bridgeman in a recent Business Travel News article on what’s ahead for corporate travel.
The article, part of a series that BTN calls “What to Watch 2016,” forecasts that the market for virtual collaboration services will double by 2020. “Travel managers should embrace the shift and show that they’re best positioned to manage professional collaboration, whether in person or virtually or somewhere in between,” Bridgeman said.
“With their depth of experience in helping employees make the right booking choices, travel managers will play a growing role in managing virtual options,” she added. “Effectively leveraging virtual collaboration assets will let travel managers drive travel savings or shift travel spend to higher-value trips.” Advito is the consulting arm of BCD Travel.
