Product Description

The Xcelerater CD contains an online booking tool adoption kit with over 20 customizable templates, as well as a detailed manual.  Xcelerater contains over 55 links to allow for easy navigation.  If printed, Xcelerater contains over 75 pages.

Adoption content within Xcelerater is based on best practices researched over six years and contains proven strategies.  

Should a company prefer a mandate, a separate section provides the necessary information for a successful mandate.  Travel Logics does not recommend mandate over adoption strategies and vice versa.  We simply provide instruction and tools for both, in order to accommodate all client interests.

Xcelerater was designed to increase adoption by:

· Providing corporations with the tools to ease the labor-intensive preparation of online tool adoption related marketing materials.
· Eliminating most of the guesswork that corporations currently experience whether adoption planning or mandate planning.
· Allowing for an easier assessment of individual corporation needs and the creation of a plan built off of a set foundation of critical adoption fundamentals in order to arrive at a proven, yet customized, solution for each company.

FAQs

1. What benefits can a company realize with Xcelerater™?

· Cost savings!  Usage with the adoption strategies often fall between 30-45%, and in some cases over 70%, depending on the tool in use.  Should a company desire usage in the 80-90% range, Xcelerater offers a mandate section that contains details to help achieve these high numbers.  Travel Logics realizes that customer beliefs and culture will dictate what is right for each corporation, and, therefore, Xcelerater was designed to provide tools and instruction whatever the route a company decides to take. 

· Xcelerater saves labor and time!  With over 20 customizable templates, tool marketing material preparation time is decreased significantly.  This savings in itself will more than pay for the low cost of Xcelerater.  

· Faster adoption due to the decrease in preparation time, as well as the removal of much of the trial and error experienced by corporations in the past.

2. My company is in the online booking tool selection stage. Do I need to think about adoption at this point?

Yes!  Regardless of whether a corporation plans to use adoption strategies or deploy a mandate, it is advantageous to plan at the beginning of the implementation process. 

3. My corporation has been utilizing an online booking tool for several months and we have only achieved 6% adoption. Should we look at migrating to a new tool?

Xcelerater was designed to help corporations drive adoption on any online booking tool.  Perception in the industry exists that the “right” technology will drive adoption.  Some companies have deployed two, and even three, online booking tools in the quest for one that will yield the promised return on investment.  While it is true that online booking tool differences can have an influence on adoption, none are capable of self-promotion.  With no tool promotion, an average of six percent usage is all that can be expected.  Xcelerater provides customers the tools and instruction for the necessary promotion that is critical to a successful online program and return on investment.

4. I am a member of a travel agency/online booking tool company and we have interest in providing Xcelerater to our client base. Does Travel Logics offer a partner program for Xcelerater?
