What may have pushed them over the edge was the discovery that many of their employees were going and booking online anyway, without official permission. Also helping are new offerings from the various travel sites to offer customized pages for corporate travelers to match with corporation rules and regulations. Somewhat surprising that it's taken this long, but some habits die hard - especially in big companies.
