BARRINGTON, IL - September 25, 2007 :  Trondent Development Corp., a leading provider of travel related SaaS (Software as a Service) applications and data management services, has partnered with the advertising and marketing conglomerate, Interpublic Group, to develop a flexible and sophisticated travel profile portal for the company to use in its North American operations.

The portal creates a centralized profile management system that effectively keeps traveler profiles in sync with multiple travel agencies, on-line booking tools, GDSs and the company's PeopleSoft HR system. The tool implements proven technology that pulls up-to-date profile data into newly created PNRs that were either booked on-line or off-line.

Interpublic decided to partner with profile management specialist, Trondent Development Corp., because of the company's reputation and proven track record in building sophisticated travel tools. "With 42,000 employees spread across 100 countries, we needed a great partner to help us make our travel system more efficient. Trondent's ProFILER Web product was the right choice for us," commented Fran McClarnon, Director of Global Travel Services for Interpublic. "Automating and synchronizing our ProFILER tool with our HR system was a critical step in upgrading our consolidated reporting and in preparation for deploying an online booking solution for Interpublic companies in North America. Trondent's flexibility and collaborative efforts enabled us to manage a complex and challenging project," McClarnon continued.

"Over the past 13 years, as a consequence of integrating sophisticated profile management needs from companies like Interpublic, Trondent's ProFILER Web product has essentially evolved into a universal profile management system", says Theo Szymanski, Trondent's Director of Sales. "By taking advantage of XML data exchange standards, combined with the latest web services and data encryption technology, any corporation or travel management company can implement an affordable web-based profile management system that synchronizes in real-time with any database on the planet", continued Szymanski. "Combine that with secure SSO (Single Sign On) automation and an easy to navigate user interface, ProFILER Web is the ideal solution for travelers, corporate travel managers and travel agencies."

The Interpublic Group manages U.S. booked air volume in excess of $70 million, with American Express providing travel management services for it's consolidated U.S. and Canadian travel volume. Interpublic Group has just begun the process a Global Travel and Credit Card consolidation bringing Europe into their program.
