January 12, 2004 - Bountiful, Utah New Online Booking Tool Enhances Hess Corporate Travel Website 'Concur Travel' Global Options Save Money & Time Staying ahead of the technology curve is no small task. But for Hess Corporate Travel, Northern Utah's leading travel management consulting and advisory firm specializing in business travel operations, upgrading and expanding its online client services program is a priority.
