Our Business
Smart Platforms The Key to a New Infrastructure
Building the better mousetrap is every entrepreneur's goal. That is where the value proposition begins. NAUP Software Services (DBA: North American Risk & Energy Systems), subsidiary of NAUP, knows that with any venture, especially in today's digital era, you are only as effective as your systems allow you to be. True value, therefore, is created once you have identified all the processes that are unique to your business model and implemented technological solutions to provision those needs and intelligently interact one with another.
At NAUP, we are ushering into the archaic world of energy the Integrated Virtual Utility via intelligent platforms and systems that will enable our partners remain ahead of the technology curve. No longer will you have to worry about system integration issues that potentially may cost your business millions of dollars in losses or having to cease operations in any one market. By partnering with NAUP, you will have a higher total return on investment while maintaining focus on your core service offering the value you bring to your customers on a daily basis.
Information Systems
We at NAUP understand the significance and cost of having timely, accurate, and cost-effective customer information systems. With NAUP's modular approach to software development, you will be able to select from a full range of automated processes that will handle every aspect of customer provisioning. Our software will intelligently speak your company's language and tie in with virtually every piece of your business. These processes include point of sale enrollment, customer verification, service connection/disconnection, meter reads, and billing. Related functions also included are payment processing from multiple vendor systems, collections, commissions, contract and customer relationship management, and aging receivables modules and much more.
For power marketers, generators and large commercial and industrial entities that manage their own energy load obligations, NAUP provides wholesale scheduling, forecasting, and settlement modules; along with QSE Management Services. We also custom develop software for those interested in asset optimization, load management from distributed generation projects for arbitrage opportunities, and installation of roof-top solar panels.
We understand how volatile the markets have been historically, the uncertainties they present on a daily basis, and concern that they present to risk management committees. Therefore NAUP has developed this series of functionality to help risk managers effectively manage and reliably track and reconcile data with each respective market participants. These services define what it means to meet daily operating and financial reporting requirements and ensure that no electron goes unaccounted for.
Typical software providers offer all these modules as stand-alone features; regardless of the market, the functionality (in essence) is the same. However, where most fail is the ability to interact with and effectively speak your company's business language. Without the need to operate several disparate systems each uniquely configured to handle various aspects of the business, with NAUP, your data will tie-in to your proprietary business rules and communicate with each of your third-party vendors that help differentiate your company and bring customers value.

Im in canada right now and waiting for my LMIA am i eligible for this changes? Thanks
Express Entry Begins in January 2015
The new Express Entry system in Canada will be effective as of January 2015; it will involve a two-step online process that begins with the candidate completing an online profile and concludes with the government, after ranking those found eligible, inviting candidates to apply for permanent residence.
The purpose of the system is to match potential immigrants with highly skilled vacant jobs in the Canadian labour market where Canadians are not available. "The idea is that more and more applicants will be coming in [to Canada] with that job offer already in hand," said Sarah Anson-Cartwright, director of skills policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
The Express Entry system is expected to decrease permanent residency processing times to six months for those invited. However, some are concerned that the program will ignore those applicants looking for unskilled labour or low wage positions. As well, employers will not be given direct access to those in the Express Entry pool and it will be up to the government to match businesses with potential employees. In short, the new system we will have to wait and see what the new system has to offer once it comes into effect.

Ventersdorp - Judge John Horn on Tuesday said that there was no justification for the brutal killing of Eugene Terre'Blanche as he found farmworker Chris Mahlangu guilty of the former Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging leader's murder.Mahlangu's co-accused Patrick Ndlovu, whose name was revealed for the first time on Tuesday, as he has now turned 18, was acquitted of murder
and attempted robbery, but found guilty of housebreaking.Ndlovu was described as a passive bystander and Horn said he was not convinced that he played an active role in the murder murder. The pair had been on trial for hacking and beating Terre'Blanche to death on his North West farm in April 2010.During his judgment, Judge Horn rubbished Mahlangu's claim that he acted in self-defence. He said there was no evidence Terre'Blanche was killed due to his political views. The dispute was over wages."He was revered by some, but despised by others," Horn said.While Terre'Blanche was portrayed as arrogant and violent, neither of the two accused testified about this, or any claims of abuse."None of these things could justify the brutal attack on the deceased."Horn also rejected claims that Terre'Blanche sodomised Mahlangu."Sodomy is such a personal intrusion, I can't believe [Chris Mahlangu] would not have raised it immediately," Judge John Horn said.OpportunisticHe called sodomy an attack on a person's dignity and said it was demeaning."It is the equivalent to rape."He asked why it was only mentioned towards the end of the trial, and also only through other witnesses.Horn said Mahlangu saw the semen-like fluid seen on Terre'Blanche's genitals as an opportunity to use sodomy as a defence. However, Horn said the notion that this had indeed been semen was never proven. The same applied to the origin of the fluid."I therefore reject any suggestion that [Mahlangu] was sodomised," Horn said.Horn also rejected a claim by the pair's lawyers that the fluid was deliberately removed after the murder. This was a ridiculous assertion, he said, adding he doubted that any of the officers on scene would have done so."There was no earthly reason for them to lay their careers on the line to act in such manner; they had nothing to gain. It simply does not make sense."
Justice served! Yes ET might not have been innocent himself, but those guilty must be punished
You call bed, 3 meals a day, entertainment, punishment. BRING BACK THE DEATH SENTENCE NOW. It's already being practiced by criminals, just make it official. Do it soon.
Agreed, proof that two wrongs dont make a right
Surely if you accompany someone and join him in a crime you are also guilty as the accomplice if he commits a more serious crime.
George as crass as it might sound - he will now learn the meaning of sodomy - even a week in our prisons is potentially a death sentence in the long run
"It simply does not make sense" no criminal act ever makes sense. They got what they deserved, killing in cold blood is killing in cold blood regardless of gender, age, religion or race.
Sense prevailed. I still feel Ndlovu got off lightly. The sheer brutality of this murder deserves a severe sentence.Wether E.T. was liked or disliked -murder must be punished to the full extent of the law. This should be seen as a victory against crime,not an excuse for a racial confrontation.
I would love to read the case record of the evd tendered to see what the reason for the Housebreak was. Why was the little creep only convicted of Housebreaking and in the least not Housebreaking with the intent to rob and robbery with aggravated circumstances? I cannot comment until I know more about that specifically. If anyone can enlighten me I would be glad, as long as it is based on proven fact and not assumption or emotional outbursts.
Wally he had blood splatter on his shoes, so he was there, the judge seems fair so I am assuming some evidence was thrown out due to bugger ups.
The police made huge errors that made some evidence inadmissable. But what I do understand is that both lawyers nor prosecutuion would not exactly push the racial attack or the murder being politically motivated. All the judge can do is pass judgement on that which was presented.
How did this become about race? The judge made a ruling, a man was killed and the killers were found guilty. Black or White law is the same...
Thanks tell your black brothers
Now can we move on, This ET is still getting publicity.
But when will They be sentenced?
Bunch of savages
You are right about the awb
Chris dnt worry we'll pertition the president to pardon you
@Twentyfivemay- I pity you. So just because ET was white and a racist, he deserved the brutal death your comrades bestowed upon him? You are a racist- would that then justify the same fate for you? Oh no, you're black, so you can be racist, support murder and reversed apartheid. You give educated, decent blacks a bad name. Shame on you. The day of reckoning is near- and then you'll have to explain to God why you were filled with this burning hatred for whites. Our blood, my friend, is the same color. Just sad that you're a bloodthirsty savage.
Could have been saliva
SO there are actually justification for such a murder, just not in this case... WTF!!!!
why does News24 always remove my comments?.i was merely exercising my freedom of expression.NEWS24 you suck
Just like the painting-freedom of expression as well.
Racism is far from being ova here in SA if u can still see and read such comments...and i ask maself "Where is the LOVE...SA's"....GOD BLESS SA
Chris Mahlangu now says that life imprisonment is preferrable to a life of poverty.
Listen you f... You are from Zimbabwe. What were you doing here?
Maybe like yourself,Chris Mahlangu,is an immoral atheist who enjoys bashing religion,the bible,God etc and thinks there is justification for it when writing articles in MyNews24.The only difference between you two freaks is that this sociopath with multiple personality disorder,Chris Mahlangu,took it a step further by brutally killing an innocent farmer,Eugene Terre'Blanche. Who knows what your brain dysfunction will prompt you to write or do next?
so where are those idiots who say farm murders are organised by the ANC. He did not pay for two months and eventually paid with his life to what he hated the most "Black people". The story of full life circle from the credible to the grave now he is burning in hell. Burn in piece
He couldnt pay them because he had paid for his housekeepers funeral.
Many people in their wildest dreams want us to believe that we are a rainbow nation, but the fact is that we are always confranted with racism.
The man was a card carrying NAZI with a modified swastika for a flag. Mussolini got worse!
What the F**k was he suppose to do with that old ugly son of a bitch raping him like his mistress?

Responses to the upcoming Cantonese Cuisine Chowmeet at Maple Yip had been an overwhelming success! All 22 slots were assigned for within the first 48 hours!
Quite a few interested chowhounders missed out on this opportunity and send me e-mail messages requesting for a 'possible 2nd sitting' ??!! I am honored and happy to oblige pending on the number of people interested.
With the holiday season fast approaching, I therefore proposed the 2nd sitting be on Thursday, 29th November at 7.00pm. Once again, to allow enough lead time for the chef to prepare our mainly 'off-menu' special tasting meal, please kindly e-mail me your interest by 24 November, the latest!
Menu, cost per person and criteria will be per 1st Sitting.
My e-mail address is posted in my profile. Please address all questions to me direct and NOT on this board! Thank You!!

Whether you want to enjoy sport for the fun of it, play competitively or discover friendships, sports clubs are a brilliant way to immerse yourself in university life.
We have over 60 student-led sports clubs at MMU, and many are open to all levels and abilities. Find your club on The Union website or speak to them to set up a new one. Keep an eye on clubs' social media or contact the club directly for more information. You can join our sports clubs at any time through The Union's sport clubs website. You can also sign up to any club at The Opportunities Office in The Union at any time.
All sports clubs have membership fees that you must pay to join. Fees vary from club-to-club, ask the club you're interested in for more info.
Some clubs ask that you attend a trial because there is huge demand to play for the team(s). And if it's been a while since you have played or you're new to the sport, some clubs have a taster session so you can try things out and get to know club members before you commit.
Trials are run by clubs because they have multiple teams or high levels of interest. They allow coaches to hold an open selection process, typically involving drills and match-based activities.
Taster sessions are activity-based sessions that are open for the first couple of weeks of term so you can try out sports. They are free and open to everyone. Find out when they're taking place by opening the Give Sport a Go timetable below.
Just bring along appropriate clothing and footwear - and if you're taking part in an outdoor sport, please remember to consider the Mancunian weather! If you need equipment then contact the club through their website.
Joining a sports clubs gives you the opportunity to compete alongside 100,000 students and 4,000 teams in BUCS competitions, leagues and events - competition usually takes place on Wednesday afternoons.
BUCS is the national governing body for University sport in the UK. Manchester Metropolitan University joins almost 170 other UK higher education institutions to compete in BUCS across 52 different sports.

Since public health seeks to protect the health of populations, it inevitably confronts a range of ethical challenges having to do primarily with the friction between individual freedoms and what might be perceived as governmental paternalism. This volume brings together twenty-five articles by leading thinkers in the field, writing on topics that concern both classic and novel problems. They open up new terrain in each area, including tobacco and drug control, infectious disease, environmental and occupational health, the effect of new genetics on the publics health, and the impact of social inequalities on patterns of morbidity and mortality. The volume editors offer a context for discussion with introductory essays for each of the books five sections.
Reviewer:Griffin Trotter, MD, PhD(Saint Louis University)
Description:This edited book draws together essays on core topics in public health ethics.
Purpose:It seeks to provide an introduction to theories of public health ethics, and to provide helpful introductory essays on a number of central issues. Though these objectives are worthwhile, the current paucity of scholarship in public health ethics hampers the depth and completeness of the treatment of some topics.
Audience:The book is written for anyone with a scholarly or professional interest in public health ethics. It should be helpful for public health students, policy makers, bioethicists, and others with an interest in public health practices. The editors are well qualified, and many of the essays are written by well known scholars.
Features:The book is divided topically into sections, with each section containing essays that address the topic from a variety of perspectives. General topics include the overall perspective of public health, the tension between autonomy and paternalism, justice and health, coercion in the response to infectious disease, environmental and occupational health, and genetics. Many of the essays investigate particular issues within a general topic area (for instance, there are two essays about tobacco in the section on autonomy and paternalism). These more focused essays provide helpful illustrations of issues examined in the more general essays. For the most part, the focused, practical essays seem more helpful than the general, theoretical ones, as many of the theoretical discussions are truncated, occasionally to the point of being misleading (for instance, the comments about libertarianism on page 20 and about utilitarianism on page 22).
Assessment:This is a useful addition to previously available anthologies on public health ethics such as New Ethics for the Public's Health, Beauchamp and Steinbock (Oxford University Press, 1999), and Promoting Healthy Behavior; How Much Freedom? Whose Responsibility?, Callahan (Georgetown University Press, 2000). None of these anthologies clearly is better than the others, and each exhibits theoretical weaknesses such as the failure to adequately address the multitude of competing concepts of justice.

Now here's an interesting admission. The Chinese Communists are more susceptible to hte social pressures of those who wish to continue to smoke than our government in the UK is.
China's stability could be threatened if the government tried to curb smoking, a senior official said on Wednesday at a discussion of the annual meeting of parliament.
"Smoking harms people's health, but restraining smoking threatens social stability," said Zhang Baozhen, deputy chief of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration.
"Smokers rioted when the former Soviet Union collapsed because they could not get any cigarettes... The principle applies in China as well," Zhang said, responding to proposals from some members of China's parliamentary advisory body to curtail the smoking industry.
Partial smoking bans are already in effect in many places around the world, including Hong Kong, which returned from British to Chinese rule in 1997, several American states and parts of Europe.
So, who is the democracy now?

Ranveer Singh couldn't take his 'eyes off' Deepika Padukone
Actor Ranveer Singh, who stars alongside his rumoured girlfriend Deepika Padukone in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani', says he couldn't get his eyes off her in the forthcoming historical romance film's new song 'Deewani Mastani'.
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone
The song, which was launched on October 17, features Mastani (Deepika) in all her beauty and glory. (Check the look here)
Ranveer took to Twitter on Saturday to share his thoughts about the song, which has been sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Ganesh Chandanshive.
"I couldn't get my eyes off her in this song either! #BajiraoMastani," Ranveer tweeted alongside a photograph of Deepika from the song.
'Bajirao Mastani', which is slated to release on December 18 alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dilwale', is Ranveer and Deepika's second film with Bhansali after 2013 movie 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela'.

Unanswered: case sensitive server - problems running scripts
I have just been given a new SQL Server 2000 box to look after in production. I just tried to run a standard t-sql script I use for setting up backup jobs and so on. However, it failed with a long list of errors - quite a surprise at first since I have run the same script on many other servers wihtout a hitch. On close examination, the problem appears to be that the new serer is setup with a server default collation... Latin1_General_BIN (I think a binary based collation makes this a case sensitive server).
This is quite an urgenet one since I have to get this wrapped up today. I don't think I can change the server's default collation without a lot of red-tape. Is there a quick way to run my scripts in a 'case insenstive' context within Query Analyzer? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,

We have that problem all of the time with the PeopleSoft servers. They can only run with binary sort orders.
If you find a way to work around the case sensitivity, please let me know!

Ok, well thanks anyway. It seems a bit over the top for a server to be set to case senstive by default. Even the master database is case sensitive as a result. I can't see why the s/w vendor couldn't have left the default server collation alone and just been a bit more selective about what tables/columns actually needed a _BIN collation. Laziness I suppose.

Binary sort order os a bit faster than case sensitive, as it bypasses all of the checks for 'A' = 'a'. That aside, you should probably go over the script and change the identifiers (table names, column names) to be the proper case (fortunately this is all lowercase for system tables), and change all of your variables to be the same case throughout. The variables can be doe with find/replace very easily. After that, you would have a new script that would work on Latin1_General_CI_AS, _BIN, and _CS_AS servers.
Since i have a couple of case sensitive servers around, I have had to write all of my own scripts to be able to handle case sensitivity. Even the ones that "should" only run on the case insensitive ones. It is a good habit to get into.

All of our main production servers are Latin1_General_BIN_437 which is actually what yours probably is. This was recommended back in the old days when it was based on 6.5. Since they reworked the architecture, It doesn't really make any difference on speed. Since it's not the industry standard to use this, it's just a big pain. Anyway, I've learned to use all upper-case for my commands and lower-case for my objects. We have a program at work that will automagically convert all your code for you. I'll see if I can "share" it with you. Saves soooooooo much time.MeanOldDBA

Human resources is the term given to the people who make up the employee workforce of an organization or company. It was initially used simply as a synonym for manpower or labour; latterly, with the advent of globalization, a cottage industry has grown regarding human resource strategy, as a way of enhancing business value through management of the workforce.
The idea of human resource management (HRM, or HR) has its roots in the human relations movement of the early 20th century. Initially, the theory was applied more towards transactional processes, such as the administration of payments, holidays and benefits. Soon the focus would turn directly to the labor force, and the idea of workplace productivity began to take importance. A gradual change in HR policy meant that workers began to be view less as cogs in a machine, subject to unrealistic production demands, and more like an asset to the company, who can be trained and rewarded in order to provide even greater productivity in their work.
In modern times, the importance of HRM has been fully accepted and integrated into working life, to the point where the HR department of a business will often be one of the largest divisions in the company. At a macro-level, HR is responsible for leadership strategies and workplace culture, adhering to labor laws, health and safety, and security. On a more individual basis, they will deal with worker grievances, performance reports, and all steps of the hiring process.
This emphasis on employee satisfaction and training is not just an altruistic notion; it has become something of a necessity due to the changing manner in which we do business. Companies have realised that constantly replacing a workforce is costly, inefficient and time-consuming — it's much more preferable to retain employee talent and knowledge, with a lower employee turnover. Business has changed in a global sense too — companies regularly trade internationally, with a wide range of partners, across different customs, cultures, and laws. As such, the modern HR department will find itself involved in the strategy behind mergers and acquisitions, diversity and inclusion, and industrial and labor relations.
It can be said that human resource management has four basic functions — staffing, training and development, motivation, and maintenance. The points below show some of the processes involved with each function.
Example 1. Human Resource Management
Example 2. Human Resource Development
With such a large and varied workload, it can be useful for an HR manager to design and create business process maps, that illustrate a specific process within the company. These can take the form of flowcharts, infographics or workflow diagrams. Specific diagrams work better with certain processes — for instance a flowchart acts a solution to a given problem; each step of the solution is represented by a box, from which multiple connections can flow dependent on the decision made at that step. An infographic is used as a graphical representation of data or knowledge, and act upon the human visual capability of spotting patterns and trends. All aspects of HR management can be mapped with their use, from macro to micro level — the versatility of flowcharts mean that one can be used to chart data flow through the payroll software system, or a more esoteric diagram can show HR management response and strategy in a given situation.
The advantages of business process mapping are numerous. They can be used as a plan, to try and stop initial mistakes with implementation; you see processes as part of a bigger picture, and can adapt them for certain scenarios; it can help you eliminate unnecessary steps, or speed up/automate parts of the process. Presenting data in visual form creates a unified message or strategy, and allows for easy distribution amongst team members.
Example 3. Human Resources Flowchart
With the new HR Flowcharts solution for ConceptDraw PRO, all these diagramming options and advantages are available to you. A comprehensive selection of predesigned vector stencils libraries allow you to create eye-catching infographics relating to any human resource management process. Also included are standardized flowchart notation symbols, meaning your diagrams will be relevant and understood by all business associates. We try to make things easy for you at ConceptDraw, so you will also find flowchart and workflow templates inside the solution to help you get started with your own design. Using the HR Flowcharts solution, you can create professional looking HRM business process diagrams in a matter of moments.

Quantitative Analysis of the "Rumor-based Economical Damage" for Sightseeing Industry Caused by Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Station Accident (Japanese)
The Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Station Accident in March 2011 caused radioactive pollution problems of neighborhood area and also caused steep decrease of tourist number who visit and stay hotels, restaurants, sightseeing attractions and so on in the neighborhood area. The decrease continued several months and resulted in the economical damage to the sightseeing industry located in the area. More than two years have already elapsed and the tourist number recovered the pre-accident level in most of the area, but there still remains significant damage in some area due to the tourist's concern of pollution although most of the area are not actually polluted at all; due to the phenomena so called "rumor-based economical damages." The Tokyo Electric Power Company is liable for the damage and paying compensation for the damage including the "rumor-based economical damages" in accordance with the guideline of Government of Japan, but they are not sure whether the "rumor-based economical damages" are still existing, due to the simplification and speed up of the procedures of compensation payment; although that may cause some problems that the compensation may be used out of the original purposes. The author developed two quantitative judgement criteria to examine the existence of the "rumor-based economical damage" using statistical methodologies such as average treatment effect, and applied them to the regional tourist statistics of 28 major sightseeing area issued by 5 Prefectures, and analyzed and evaluated the results. The author found that the "rumor-based economical damage" still exists in Eastern and Middle Fukushima Region, Aizu-Central and Aizu-South Region, Nikko Region of Tochigi Prefecture and Northern Region of Ibaragi Prefecture at the point of 4th quarter 2012. And the damage has been recovered in Gumma Prefecture and most part of the Tochigi and Ibaragi Prefecture already. The author estimates that these regional difference of the damage is caused by following reasons; the distance from the Power Station and polluted area, specific decrease of tourists who visit Aizu and Nikko Region for historical and cultural tour and hot spring bathing tour, and decrease of sea bating and fishing tourists under the influence of the polluted water leakage accidents at the Power Station. Then the author recommends that simplified compensation payment procedures should be applied only for certain areas in Fukushima, Ibaragi and Tochigi Prefecture because of the continuation of the "rumor-based economical damage," but further checking systems should be introduced in other areas and other Prefectures where no such phenomena is found.

Bill Catlette could spend less on air travel, but he has chosen not to.
A principal in a consulting firm, Contented Cows Partners, Mr. Catlette is on the road about 100 days a year giving speeches and training executives. He could probably save money by booking airline tickets, reserving hotel rooms and renting cars on the Internet.
But like many frequent business travelers, he prefers to arrange his trips through a travel agent -- in his case, Gina Scott, who works in a one-agent office in Mr. Catlette's hometown, Collierville, Tenn., just east of Memphis.
''We realize that we can probably save a few bucks by working with Expedia, or direct booking with our preferred vendors,'' Mr. Catlette said. ''But until they have a Gina, it's not going to happen.''
Even in an era of Web-only fares, electronic tickets and automated check-in kiosks, many business travelers are sticking by their travel agents, for a simple, old-fashioned reason: personal service whenever they need it.
''If I am driving down an expressway at 65 miles per hour and I need to change my travel plans at the last minute, Expedia is probably not going to take my call,'' Mr. Catlette said. ''She will.''Continue reading the main story
The last decade has been tough on travel agents. Airlines at first halved and then largely eliminated commissions on domestic flights, forcing many agents to add fees to ticket prices. That led many leisure travelers and business fliers to book their tickets on the Internet. Then the stock market turned and the economy slowed, dragging travel down with it. Finally, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks turned the slowdown into a slump.
The effect on travel agencies, particularly small ones, has been swift and painful. By one measure -- companies accredited by the Airlines Reporting Corporation, which distributes tickets issued by the major carriers -- the number of retail travel agencies fell more than 30 percent from the beginning of 2000 to the end of last year. The biggest drop came in independent agencies, mostly small ones with a single location; 6,400 fell off the corporation rolls in those four years, an attrition rate of more than a third.
Some travel agents survived by burrowing into a niche where suppliers still paid commissions, like cruise lines or packaged tour companies. Others focused on business travelers, winning their loyalty by helping them navigate the complex array of fares, discounts, rebates, waivers and certificates that airlines use to increase revenue.
These clients are not necessarily computer illiterate, says Elizabeth Elwell of Blue Dolphin Surf and Travel in the North Hollywood section of Los Angeles, but include people averse to bouncing among Web sites in search of the best deals. ''The largest group of my loyal client base are savvy computer owners and Internet shoppers,'' she said. ''However, these people lead busy lives and don't have the inclination to waste a lot of their time trying to find the lowest fare when they need to travel. They would much prefer to pay me to do it for them.''
Stephen P. Bloom, a partner in two companies in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., is a case in point. He is on the road most of the year for his two businesses -- the Allied Bakery and Food Service Equipment Company and Tesori Wines Inc. -- and avoids arranging his travel unless it is a simple round trip.
''Once it gets complicated, there is no way you can do it yourself,'' he said. If he has to make multiple stops on a single trip -- Los Angeles to New York to Omaha to Chicago and back to Los Angeles, for example -- he would rather have somebody else shop for the cheapest fares and make the inevitable last-minute changes to accommodate unexpectedly long or canceled meetings.
He said he relied on his travel agent, Perla Georgino of Senator Travel, a family-owned firm in Beverly Hills, not only to book flights and handle changes but to navigate the airlines' complicated rules. She uses open-jaw itineraries that allow him to fly home from an airport that was not his original destination, advance-purchase waivers and other techniques to keep his travel costs low, he said.
''She has saved me thousands and thousands of dollars over the years,'' he said, including discounted business-class fares for his frequent trips to Europe. ''All of the things she is able to do for me that I could never do for myself online or in any other way. Anyone who travels a lot has to have a travel agent.''
Not everyone agrees, of course. Gloria Metrick, a consultant who advises laboratories on how to manage their information systems, said her experience with travel agents, big and small, had been so inconsistent that she books her own travel over the Internet.
''One small agency I used gave me good personal service; another one I tried was just unusable,'' she said. ''They didn't keep a preference file, so I had to give the preferences and frequent flier and renter information every time I booked. They typed the information out to give me an itinerary and it was wrong quite often.''
Independent travel agents cringe at such tales. They know that convenience is about all they have to sell these days; to persuade business travelers to pay a service fee of $25 to $50 a ticket -- and not go to American Express or other national chains -- their clients must find it simple to make arrangements and change them on the run, and to receive perks like upgrades as often as possible.
Kelly Daoud, who operates his one-man agency out of his house in Palm Springs, Calif., said that he took along his laptop computer the last time he went on vacation, and made sure his phone messages were forwarded to him as e-mail attachments. Even when he was supposed to be relaxing, he said, he was rebooking flights and upgrading hotel rooms for his regular clients as fast as their requests came in.
He uses upgrade certificates that he gets from airlines, he added, to make sure that a client who flies to Europe two or three times a month has a seat in business class even though he pays coach fare. ''I save him probably $4,000 every time he goes,'' Mr. Daoud said.
''If you are good and you treat your clients good, you can hang on,'' regardless of competition from Web sites and obstacles from airlines, he said. While his agency, the Travel Guru, has not added any clients during the slump, Mr. Daoud said, it has not lost one, either.
Mr. Catlette, the consultant in Tennessee, said his agent often did things for him that he would never have thought to ask her to do. When his travel plans change, for example, she calls his family to let them know he will be home later or earlier than expected, or staying in a different hotel. And when he was a few miles shy of maintaining his platinum level in Northwest Airlines' frequent-flier program, she called the airline to maintain his benefits.
The agent, Ms. Scott, dismissed the suggestion that what she had done was extraordinary.
''All we have to offer,'' she said, ''is our service.''Continue reading the main story
