CHICAGO
and TORONTO - Vision 2000 Travel Group Inc., the largest Canadian-owned
travel management company in North America, announces its recent selection of
GDSX as Vision 2000's automation service provider, chosen to implement the
company's innovative and customer-centered service delivery plans.
Vision
2000 is presently implementing the COMPLEAT Travel Automation platform provided
by US-based GDSX, Ltd. Asked how Vision came to their decision, Brian Robertson,
Chief Operating Officer, Vision 2000 stated, "As our name implies, we try to
stay ahead of the competitive curve by offering innovative and highly tailorable
services to our customers. It was important to find an automation company with
technology capable of delivering the scope and caliber of services we offer and
agile enough to ensure we can remain responsive to our customers' changing
needs. We were struck by GDSX's unique combination of powerful, self-directed
automation software, and unanimously-praised support."
According
to David Wass, IT Manager for Vision 2000, the days since implementation have
been happy ones. "Our staff has been thrilled with the introduction of COMPLEAT.
It has already enabled a much higher level of intelligent and efficient
automation than we were ever able to achieve with other vendors." We always try
to maximize the value from every technology we employ and COMPLEAT's 'Internet
Age' design is engineered to integrate with other travel industry software and
tools we already have."
"Adding
COMPLEAT to our Vision-Ware suite of products & services ensures that we
will always be able to deliver on the promises we make."
Jon
Farrier, CEO of GDSX added, "We are pleased to be associated with Vision 2000. I
believe that our company and our COMPLEAT Automation System represent a good fit
for Vision's needs. Not simply because of their size and market position, but
because of the diversity of their customers, products, and services. Our credo
is 'Empowering Innovation' and with Vision 2000, I think we'll have plenty of
innovative ideas to work from."
