FRANKFURT, Germany, October 9 /PRNewswire/ --     cytric Version 7.6 includes a new function to present the locations of
all corporate travellers on a map. cytric is Europe's most widely used
Internet application for business travel bookings. It is a product of i:FAO
Group.

cytric gives corporations fast access to the locations of all company
travellers. The new VirtualView(TM) recently went live with Release 7.6 of
cytric Version 7. Thanks to its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) principle, this
new function is immediately available to all cytric customers. 
VirtualView(TM) helps companies to better meet their Corporate Responsibility
towards employees.

One of the definitive highlights of cytric's new Release 7.6 is the
enhanced hotel search with Ajax technology, including breakfast information
in the hotel display. cytric users benefit from greater transparency when
booking hotels. Also new with the latest release is the option to activate
the automatic import of offline (fax, email and phone) booking data into the
cytric Management Information System. Travel managers now have a full,
up-to-the-minute true-detail view of corporate travel behaviour.

Release 7.6 now presents accurate rate-information derived from cytric's
very own DynaWeb(TM) low-fare booking tool. The prices of the more than 100
low-fare airlines in DynaWeb(TM) are now easier to compare. cytric Release
7.6 also simplifies online check-in procedures. Where users were previously
offered a direct link to check-in online, cytric now takes the user's
language into account.

cytric has also refined its Webservices model. Corporations can now
smoothly import key data and functions from cytric into their own
applications, for example the corporate Intranet. Staff can view active
bookings on their own personal Intranet pages and for example check flight
availability.

All new functions and extensions are available free of charge to cytric
customers. cytric customers expect and receive a package of upgrades and new
additions every six weeks. More: http://www.cytric.com
