*This message is going out to all current Integrated Travel Manager users.*
*Please feel free to forward to others who may not have received this
message and would be interested in attending the E2 Travel Training
sessions.*

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will transition
to CWTSatoTravel’s E2travel system on May 22, 2017 and NOAA’s Integrated
Travel Manager (ITM) system will be retired onJuly 31, 2017. E2 is a
web-based end-to-end travel and expense management tool that offers a
convenient way to book travel reservations, create travel authorizations
(TAs), receive approvals, submit receipts and other supporting
documentation, and submit travel vouchers (TVs) for reimbursement.

Some E2 highlights include:

   - Online Booking Engine (similar to Travelocity or Expedia) for domestic
   and international airline, rail, hotel and car reservations;
   - "Travel for Others" feature, allows designated travel
   arrangers/preparers to make travel plans for other users;
   - Paperless Travel Authorization (TA) and Travel Voucher (TV) process,
   including automated approval routing with email notifications;
   - The ability to scan, route and attach receipts to the voucher
   electronically;
   - Faster travel reimbursement;
   - Enhanced, agency-wide reporting.


The initial round of NOAA E2 training is being provided by the vendor and
will be offered from February through May 2017 for all travel users.  All
training will be offered in a webinar format that allows users to take
training online with a live instructor from anywhere as well as hands-on
Instructor Led Training(ILT) training sessions here in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area.

The following courses will be offered:


   - Federal Traveler/Arranger Basic
   - Federal Traveler/Arranger Advanced
   - Federal Supervisory Travel Approver


*Attached are the courses that will be offered in March 2017*.  We are
working with the vendor to finalize the training schedules for March,
April, and May and will be sending out additional messages as we load them
into the Commerce Learning Center (CLC).

We suggest that anyone who is going to be a traveler, preparing their own
travel, arranging travel for others, or approving travel attend the classes
that are being offered prior to May 22, 2017 .  If you have anyone that may
be new and not on our communication, feel free to share the email with them.

Registrations for all sessions will be via the Commerce Learning Center
(CLC) https://doc.csod.com

For those new employees that do not have access or contractors who do not
have access, an email can be sent to cbs.trainingservices at noaa.gov stating
the class(es)/date(s) and time(s) they wish to attend and we will register
them outside of the CLC.

As training dates are finalized, schedules and training materials will be
posted to the E2 Travel Page:
