As part of the Gelco Travel Manager suite, Gelco Integration Manager provides a comprehensive data warehouse and reporting solution.

Reap the Benefits
Gelco Integration Manager provides the marketplace with a data warehouse and integration tool for the reporting and analysis of expense data to efficiently understand and manage total spend. Designed to complement Gelco Travel Manager to extend the standard reports provided, Gelco Integration Manager supports the real-time movement of expense documents to a separate, customer-controlled data repository that allows non-technical users to drill down and easily customize ad hoc queries. Our latest enhancements include:

• A recovery mechanism for messages
• An option for small systems to run without JMS, reducing implementation complexity
• A mechanism to track amendments using a unique key throughout all document versions
• A Web-based control panel (Message Spooler window)
• A feature to automatically activate a broker whenever a server is rebooted
• The ability to control document deletions in the data warehouse

Real-time Information Provides Valuable Insight
With Gelco Integration Manager, you gain access to expense data in real time, allowing you to closely monitor, track, and analyze emerging trends and satisfy specific business needs. Based on your unique requirements, you can closely monitor documents by setting up triggers to create and communicate these documents early in the approval process. In addition, you can choose to send documents at key steps such as management approval or funding. The document’s information is transferred to the data warehouse in real time so the information is immediately available for ad hoc reporting or accounting system integration and synchronization.

Better Stability – Better Security
Gelco Integration Manager is a stand-alone data warehouse that requires minimal maintenance or support. It extends your Gelco Travel Manager installation by delivering richer reporting capabilities and can provide tighter integration with your existing accounting and back-office systems. This combination of real-time information access, ad hoc reporting, and system integration provides greater control over expenditures – and ultimately, dollars.

Since Gelco Integration Manager is based on industry standards, it has been built from the ground up with security and scalability in mind. The need to securely move data to where it is most useful is exactly what Gelco Integration Manager is all about. Whether it is publishing a periodic report to a group of middle managers or generating accounting transactions to the accounting system, data is handled safely and securely. Each message is guaranteed to be delivered once and only once. Each message can be encrypted as well to thwart prying eyes.

The messaging engine upon which Gelco Integration Manager is built provides a spectrum of security and scalability options from the simplest of architectures to cluster-based, distributed architectures that support millions of transactions. With Gelco Information Manager, your data is not only more available, it is also safe and secure. The latest features make Gelco Integration Manager even more flexible and scalable than it has been in the past, providing a robust reporting and integration solution.
