Amex teams up with GetThere.com


AMERICAN Express Travel has strengthened its position in the Internet market by signing a strategic alliance with on-line travel network company GetThere.com



As part of the agreement, Amex has taken a minority stake in the company, formerly known as Internet Travel Network. The two organisations will work together to develop e-commerce solutions to the travel management industry.



Projects that the alliance will be working on include developing a customised version of GetThere.com’s ITN Global Manager system that will be fully integrated into Amex’s corporate travel operations and into its on-line corporate expense management system, American Express @ Work.



Once developed, the system will be offered first to customers in the US before being rolled out in the UK.
