How Grasp Technologies Solved Data Complexities For Illumina

Better Travel Program Management

Illumina is a global organization at the forefront of applied genomics through advanced research and product development. The multi-tier public enterprise operates out of 12 commercial offices throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia with more than 5,500 employees throughout the globe. On the technology side, Illumina faced two challenges in realizing efficiency given the immense amount of corporate travelers.

First, there was data and coordination instability within the independent networks. As data is captured and stored throughout individual networks, the process for managing and visualizing can be difficult, especially as it comes to critical reporting.

The next challenge was the prescriptive approach the external travel management companies had taken with Illumina for delivering data up in the past. The existing consolidation was through a GLOBALSTAR network but fell short in uniting all the necessary data points across the organization.
