Intelligent Spend Management Using SAP Concur (openSAP)

Second only to salaries, Travel and Expense is the largest operational cost a business confronts, and it is the most difficult to manage. Employee-initiated spend – monies originating from and controlled by the employee in the service of their role or job function – has shifted buying decisions from finance teams to individuals. Employees have more power over spending decisions, with less oversight than ever before. Organizations with manual or disparate processes often have limited visibility into when and where spend happens. This leads to finance teams spending their time tracking expenses instead of proactively influencing how their budgets can deliver the most impact.
