Why participate?

Customers have many reasons to participate in the KDS customer reference program. They may be interested in strengthening their marketing and branding activities—or desire greater thought leadership within the travel & expense  community.
 
Thought leadership: The program enables customers to promote travel & expense  technologies actively and increase their participation in the travel & expense  community.
 
Marketing: Participating in the KDS customer reference program ensures increased market exposure. When appropriate, we also provide reference partners with leads from lead generation events in which they participate.
 
Information exchange: Customers have the opportunity to share their travel & expense  implementations and technical successes with other companies, many of whom are eager to learn about travel & expense integration. Reference partners may also be put in touch with customers from whom they can learn more and may directly dialog with KDS product management.
 
Joining the KDS ecosystem: The KDS ecosystem consists of a large network of KDS partners and customers, working together in symbiotic relationships. The reference program enables customers to strengthen their relationships within this ecosystem and further leverage KDS and KDS partners.
