• Up-to-the-minute flight status, flight check in, seat availability, and gate and baggage claim information provided by OAG.
• The ability to view, hold, reserve and purchase Amtrak rail travel from a smartphone.
• The ability to incorporate a Twitter feed, with the ability to share travel plans via the most popular social networking sites including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter slated for release later this year.

Our goal is to empower employees by delivering smart, real-time content and connections to them anytime, anywhere," said Rajeev Singh, president and COO of Concur. "We also believe that companies that embrace mobile solutions will drive costs out of their business while making life easier for their mobile workforce."
