DTS is pure waste fraud and abuse. An employee in my office recently spent four hours on this user-vicious system making travel reservations that used to take 15 minutes under our old system. This system has to go.

Yes! DTS is in use as we speak. Is it saving money? Not even remotely. If we actually use DTS, the cost of airline tickets is higher we never get the best routing. The cost of hotel rooms is invariably higher. I do have to admit that the speed of reimbursement has improved considerably, however. The appearance is that DTS is a program intended to spend taxpayer dollars excessively while giving much less bang for the buck

DTS is so broken it cannot be fixed. It takes the average employee more than two hours to book a trip using it when our previous system only took about 15 minutes. DTS is pure waste, fraud and abuse! The FBI should investigate the people supporting continued use of DTS when it finishes the Foley investigation.

Have these people never heard of Priceline.com? I know the government gets a break on the price, but at nearly $500 million I would expect the cost/savings lines to cross fairly far out. This has the scent of a boondoggle.
