Top RESX Clients Discuss Industry Trends, Strategy, and Product Innovation at Second Annual User Summit

ATLANTA, March 13  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TRX, Inc. , a global technology company that develops and hosts software applications to process data records and automate manual processes, announced the successful completion of the second annual RESX 100 Summit. RESX is a leading online booking tool allowing corporate travelers to create policy-compliant and on- budget travel reservations via a hosted Web interface.

Hosted by RESX Technologies, TRX's RESX service delivery team, the two-day Summit brought together top travel management companies and corporations using RESX as well as a host of integration and alliance partners.

The Summit featured a keynote address by TRX President and CEO Trip Davis, a best practices panel discussion on integrating travel booking and expense management, a review of RESX's 3rd party integration strategy, detailed discussion on future product development plans, and a review of upcoming marketing initiatives.  The event also featured an alliance and integration partner exposition where nearly a dozen vendors showcased their integrated RESX offerings.

"Attendance was more than double our inaugural Summit, and the positive attendee feedback indicated the Summit and the expo were an overwhelming success," said Shane Hammond, President, RESX Technologies.

"Attending the RESX 100 Summit was an eye opening experience.  Currently, we primarily interface with our travel management company when it comes to online booking; hearing directly from RESX as the technology provider gave me a broader understanding of the RESX offerings," said Roger DeGroot, Director, Business Services, Grainger, Inc.

RESX Technologies also recognized TMCs and corporations for growing their RESX online program, supporting product innovation and building solid relationships during the awards dinner ceremony.

"Great businesses thrive on great partnerships, and we have cultivated some of the very best with our TMC and corporate partners," said Hammond. "While we value all of our partner relationships, the 2007 award winners and honorees excelled across numerous categories such as annualized growth, implementation of impactful adoption strategies, and facilitation of direct contact with corporations and end-users."

"While our strategy calls for us to support and distribute multiple products, RESX Technologies has proven time and time again to be an outstanding partner.  They are true innovation leaders, who deliver a high level of customer support, allowing us to focus on servicing the needs of our clients," said Kevin O'Malley, EVP and CFO, Travel and Transport. "Being recognized for the success of our RESX program is a testament to our great working relationship."
