How the Houston Rockets handled last-minute travel changes with a trusted team
"I think when we found out we were going to be working with an outside vendor for our travel needs, I expected a training session on how to log on with a portal or how to book things - things that weren't that much different than what we would have done on our own. But what we've found is we have an extension of our own company which feels like a colleague, and a coworker and a partner in Corporate Traveler."
- Gretchen Scheirr, President of Business Operations, Houston Rockets
