This innovative development is a real strategic move towards helping companies improve efficiencies and drive down the costs of their procurement operations.

"We are delighted to be working with EGS and to be launching travel as a supplier on Parabilis. The solution will take travel procurement to the next level in our strategy to further streamline the booking process for our clients" Said Jackie Lacey, Managing Director CTM.

"Adding travel content to Parabilis will allow universities to control and manage their travel budget more effectively. Travel is a large spend category within this sector and we are delighted to partner with CTM" said Craig Conkie, Supplier Manager at EGS.
