Minneapolis, 11 August 2020 – CWT, the business-to-business-for-employees (B2B4E) travel management platform today announced the expansion of its messaging, chat-style service with the integration of Microsoft Teams into its channel roster. Effective immediately, customers who have messaging enabled and use Microsoft Teams as their internal, organizational messaging tool will now be able to instantly chat with a CWT counselor by using the myCWT Microsoft Team’s app. So as and when such companies and their employees decide to resume to business travel, they can connect with CWT via this channel to amend, book, or simply manage their travel needs.
With 44 million active users globally1, the addition of Microsoft Teams to CWT’s digital customer service proposition further expands upon the various channels that customers can reach CWT, both simply and securely across any chosen device and platform.
“Messaging is a key element to our digital proposition, with engagement merely a click and message away, and Microsoft Teams further enhances that,” said Niklas Andreen, CWT. “Bringing the best consumer experience to our customers and their travelling employees, while giving them what they need to maximise productivity, is at the very heart of our anywhere, anyhow, anytime proposition.”
This introduction is part of CWT’s ongoing customer service digital strategy to deliver unparalleled 24/7 connectivity and omnichannel customer support. Over the last three years, CWT has broadened its customer service digital communication channels to include myCWT web, myCWT app, Facebook Messenger and Facebook Workplace and now Microsoft Teams.

As many countries emerge out of lockdown, business travel is beginning to resume. It should come as no surprise. An Oxford Economics study found that each dollar invested in business travel can result in as much as $12.50 in revenue.
Back in the 1950s, the concept of ‘telecommuting’ was first touted as being the future of work. The term was said to have been coined by Jack Niles, a former NASA engineer who proposed it as an innovative answer to traffic, urban sprawl, and scarcity of non-renewable resources. The concept is still around, but in 2020, we all know it simply as ‘working from home’, or just ‘WFH’.
As hotels gradually reopen their doors to guests around the world, we can expect some big changes to the guest experience. For one, health and safety measures have taken top priority, with many hoteliers launching new initiatives to step up their hygiene game and ready themselves for when it’s safe to travel again.
Minneapolis, 16 July 2020 – CWT, the business-to-business-for-employees (B2B4E) travel management platform, today announces two new additions to its return to travel resources, which will further arm companies and their traveling employees with the information they need to make confident decisions in the rapidly evolving travel landscape.
We have experienced one paradigm shift in recent months. Has it kick-started a chain reaction and highlighted the need for another? Christel Cao-Delebarre, CWT's Global Privacy Officer, reflects on why gender balance in technology is more important than ever.
What if I said that you could drop your mundane commute altogether and instead, make your face-to-face interactions with colleagues really count?
Around the world, travel restrictions are gradually being eased. In recent weeks, a number of countries have allowed domestic travel to resume. Some have even restarted – or announced plans to restart –international travel through the formation of “travel bubbles” and “travel corridors”, where borders are only being opened only to visitors from certain countries.
