Amadeus has extended its existing partnership with BCD Travel, which will see the global TMC become the latest reseller of Cytric Easy for Microsoft Teams.
Through Cytric Easy for Microsoft Teams, corporate travel managers will have access to the benefits of Cytric Easy technology as part of the BCD Travel portfolio.
