Expedia

We are the eCommerce Platform (or eCP for short), an organization of over 3,000 employees – not including our many customer support agents – that runs the technology engine under the hood of the powerful Expedia Group machine. eCP is the foundation for Expedia Group’s daily operations – from IT support to data center management, system access to traveler assistance, payment services to big data. Our teams are front and center in the lives of our employees, providing laptops, office space, network access, and data security, among many other things; and we are working steadily behind the Expedia Groups’ brand websites, converting customer “clicks” into incredible travel experiences. We power Expedia Group’s travel revolution with a world class platform of eCommerce technologies and services operating at a global scale.
Within eCP, the Global Customer Operations (GCO) team manages the customer experience on behalf of several Expedia Group brands across the traveler journey. GCO agents and products interface with the customer through voice and other channels to provide support, service and resolution to their shopping/booking and travel experiences. The Product and Technology teams of GCO build, service, design and iterate on the tools and products utilized by our onshore and offshore agents as well as our customers and affiliates; our Service Delivery team is responsible for the agent training and development, product integration and partner operations across our 30 call centers around the world, and serves as the company’s primary service interface with our external customers. Our Line of Business (LOB) teams serve as the conduit between the Brands and GCO, facilitating the partnership to deliver on new products, points of sales and acquisitions. GCO strategy, analytics, operations and project teams further support GCO through reporting, targeted initiatives and strategic direction.
