the travel request brief

  • High volumes of travel bookings are made via existing paper based Forms

  • The current process is complicated, time consuming and involves high user of paper

  • Users find the existing Forms difficult to use and to complete

  • Forms are often incomplete or contain numerous errors

  • There are 15 different forms which can need to be completed for a single travel request

  • The current travel request and approval process cannot be tracked electronically

  • Approvals cannot be readily quality assured or verified
  • Requests need to be completed online and offline

  • Significant double entry is occurring throughout the current process

  • The solution will impact high profile users with strongly held requirements and views

  • There is a widely varying user base requiring a highly usable solution

  • Core travel data (costs, approvers) need to be stored within SAP

  • Change management is difficult as it will impact the full company user base (2000+ geographically dispersed users)

the travel solution

  • A Designer Adobe Form met core needs through being highly usable, aesthetic and flexible. The Form supported the user at all stages of the request process

  • The interface was developed by professional designers and usability specialists in consultation with the business

  • The business were empowered to tailor the solution to their needs

  • The Form is easy to use, forgiving, and guides users throughout the process

  • The Form combines 15 paper Forms into a single electronic Form

  • The Traveller only needs to complete sections appropriate to their travel request. The Form minimises their work based on request type

  • The existing process was significantly simplified, paper use will be elimainted and double entry abolished


 

 

intergrating the solution

  • The Form is simply, reliably but effectively linked to SAP via web services

  • The Form maintains the latest approval structure from HR Organisation Structure

  • Travel Request data is submitted to the SAP database for Reporting and persistent storage

  • Travel requests and the approval progress is exposed via the SAP Portal for management and quality assurance purposes

  • The integration scenarios were completed quickly, efficiently
    and at low cost and risk using proven and repeatable patterns

  • The Form integrates to SAP via SAP PI, the Utility Enterprise Service Bus and Integration Hub
