The new platform being offered enables business- es to send, receive and manage their foreign pay- ments online quickly and securely. Payments and expenses flow through one end-to-end meetings resource, and payments can be processed world- wide in over 110 currencies.
American Express' solution has been designed to address the following needs: processing of indi- vidual payments to health care providers; tracking and aggregation of all payments to health care providers; comprehensive reporting that includes fully managed payments that are reported back to clients; a client hierarchy used to categorize the payments and manage at the event budget level; and payments fully reconciled in the same man- ner as other fees such as venue, meals and AV.

In addition, American Express Global Business Travel recently announced the launch of Mobile Communications Management (MCM), a dynam- ic, visual traveler tracking and integrated two-way messaging solution. This new capability can assist companies in promptly locating employee travel- ers and communicating to them on the spot to offer direct assistance in times of travel disruption. MCM also offers the added benefit of continuous- ly monitoring and mapping major travel disrup- tions such as weather systems or other events to help with contingency planning.
Charter Solutions provides the patent-pending dynamic mapping functionality of this solution. Companies that use MCM can create a road map view of the world and visually pinpoint traveler locations through color-coded markers on a map as well as through a list view of traveler names by location. The two-way communications feature then allows for custom messages and sending of pertinent information, such as location requests and status updates, to be sent to travelers mobile devices. The dynamic mapping feature is integrat- ed into the messaging tool enabling group situa- tion management by clustering travelers based on their responses.
MOBILEXTEND was launched by American Express Global Business Travel last year. It provides travelers support and relevant information based on a destination, including maps, currency con- versions, tips on preferred ground transportation
