"Un dernier groupe d’entreprises ... qui considèrent que le voyage d’affaires n’est ni un coût , ni un investissement. Elles sont de tailles plus importantes en matière de CA et de dépenses voyages et ont une part plus importante d’actionnaires étrangers ( x% vs y% pour les deux autres groupes). Elles consacrent plus de z% de leurs dépenses en dehors du marché domestique. En 2011, ces entreprises ont eut une augmentation de leurs budgets de x% et y% de leurs employés ont fait des déplacements professionnels en 2011 avec une part des budgets à la hausse de z%. Ces entreprises, moins processées que la catégorie précédente ont un recours plus appuyé et formalisé vers les agences de voyages ... et à leurs services."

restricted
..just a hunch based on the context. I don't find any "dictionary" reference to this, but it sounds as if these companies are less "put through the mill" (processed), thus somehow less "restricted" in how they proceed.

[except/minus] those processed [in the previous category]

that have less policies in place
i.e do not have set policies on how they organise their overseas travel, which airlines and taxi companies they use etc. and their staff are therefore at liberty to simply go through a travel agent.
The word procedure could also be used.
Some examples:
Travel and Expense Policy
This is the company's need for cost effectiveness and the employee's need for quality services and support. Employee travel should be via the lowest cost alternative, consistent with good business practices. Neither luxury, nor sub-standard modes of transportation and accommodations should be used.
http://www.westrav.com/corporate/TravelPolicy.html
These policies and procedures are designed to act as a guideline for business travel and entertainment expense and miscellaneous expense reimbursements. They are based on practices employed by most organizations of our size and take into consideration what is considered reasonable and customary.

Discussion
Since I'm not a native speaker myself I didn't want to jump the gun and volunteer a claim like that but, since someone else thinks so too, I concur.
"2. Un deuxième groupe d’entreprises ... pour lesquelles le voyage d’affaires est plutôt un coût qui sont de tailles intermédiaires, majoritairement chinoises, avec des budgets voyages légèrement plus importants. Ce sont les plus tournées vers les process en matière de politique voyages, d’outils de suivi et de contrôle internes, mais avec toutefois un recours plus important à des agences de voyages ...% – Ces entreprises consacrent la quasi-totalité de leurs dépenses sur le marché domestique ( Près de y%).
En 2011, ces entreprises ont eut une augmentation de leurs budgets de x% et y% de leurs employés ont fait des déplacements professionnels en 2011 avec une part des budgets à la hausse de 40%
Elles sont principalement à la recherche de leviers sur l’amélioration de leur politique achat et de voyages, ainsi que des solutions online et de sourcing"
