Data Consolidation
WHAT IS IBANK DATA CONSOLIDATION?
It is a proven process to load data from one or more sources, which ensures completeness,
evaluates quality, and improves accuracy. This gives you intelligent information to make
smarter decisions. Cornerstone will capture data from multiple GDS’s and back office systems, evaluate the data and enable corrections via our Data Cleanser, then we’ll apply your
preferences to standardize data from every source before we give you access to it from our
secure data center.

WHY USE IBANK DATA CONSOLIDATION?
Cornerstone gives you access to the best version of your data, all in one place, faster than a
manual solution. You’ll make smarter decisions with more intelligent information. Comprehensive data consolidation makes your data more meaningful by giving you all of your data
delivered in a way that you can understand it and at any time that you want it.

iBank Reporting
WHAT IS IBANK REPORTING?
iBank’s reporting feature delivers 95 standard reports, and unlimited user-defined reports.
Reports can be produced ad hoc or scheduled to run at pre-defined intervals and delivered
by email to anyone you select. iBank gives you control to focus on spend analysis, supplier
performance, and policy compliance, and information to answer questions about risk
management, reconciliation problems or calculate your carbon-footprint.

WHY USE IBANK REPORTING?

®

Corporate travel management offers a continuous challenge. Done well it requires trade-offs
among service, time, costs, technology, traveler friction, vendor goals, company objectives
and it’s deeply personal. New regulations, taxes, visa requirements, TSA rules and steady
pressure from suppliers are compounded when your endless data streams arrive on different
days in different currencies from different countries in different formats. iBank will give
you immediate access to your global travel data, whether a trip is in the future or a distant
memory. iBank reporting will give you a global view of travel spend on-demand anywhere
in the world. You can even export your data to other vendors or systems you depend on.

IBANK REPORTING DELIVERS
By capturing, consolidating and storing travel information in your own iBank data warehouse,
you can help your customers manage their travel budgets and give visibility and control over
travel policy, supplier contracts, and business results.

iBank Configurable Dashboard
WHAT IS THE IBANK CONFIGURABLE DASHBOARD?
You need the right information at the right time to make sound decisions. Travets are
micro reports (think instruments in your car); they provide discreet views of travel data in
a configurable dashboard. A single ‘click’ displays more detail; you can change the chart
types, summary information or data sources (Air, Car, Hotel, Rail, etc.). This allows you to view
information in the most meaningful way.

WHY USE THE IBANK CONFIGURABLE DASHBOARD?

®

When the pressure is on for you to bring constructive insights to the table with the visuals
and data to back them up, the iBank Configurable Dashboard gives you a fully customizable
and fast way to step up to the plate. Travets bring a unique view of your travel data that pages
of information from a canned report don’t show right away. By giving you multiple ways to
view, configure, and manage your data with a few clicks of a button, the iBank Configurable
Dashboard gives you insights that you might otherwise miss. Impress your clients and delight
your boss by uncovering trends and actionable insights that were previously hidden amongst
stacks of reports.

THE IBANK CONFIGURABLE DASHBOARD DELIVERS
iBank Travets give you a window to view the insights you need, in the way that you choose.

WITH THE IBANK CONFIGURABLE DASHBOARD, YOU CAN

iBank Analytics
WHAT IS IBANK ANALYTICS?
iBank Analytics combines the power of our iBank travel data warehouse with an intuitive
analytics engine. This easy-to-use tool transforms data into insight for busy travel
professionals when they need answers, not complexity. iBank Analytics enables you to
make insightful decisions and draw meaningful conclusions through comprehensive, multidimensional graphic views. Point-and-click navigation gives you quick information to support
your strategic objectives.

WHY USE IBANK ANALYTICS?

®

Successfully managing a travel program requires the ability to oversee multiple tasks
simultaneously—from ensuring exceptional client service to managing and enforcing
corporate policy, tracking supplier spending and complying with governmental regulations.

Analytics can help quickly uncover specific patterns within a vast sea of travel data. These
trends are presented with enough supporting detail to quickly indicate whether further
investigation is required.
