Expanding Partner Solution Progression Through SAP Concur Endorsed Apps

Partnerships make the world go round—at least that’s how we feel about them at SAP Concur. They are essential to our business and bring success to both our customers and partners alike. That’s why we continue to invest in partner solution progression, helping innovative partners to quickly scale through collaboration, showcasing their applications on our global App Center, and identifying opportunities for growth.

What is partner solution progression?

The SAP® Concur® App Center offers 270+ partner applications that connect to and enhance SAP Concur solutions, enabling businesses to optimize travel and spend management programs. To strengthen our investment in our partners, we are expanding the ways partners can grow and evolve with us by introducing a new category for partner solutions: SAP Concur Endorsed Apps.

Select App Center partner applications will progress to become an SAP Concur endorsed app, reserved for partners with proven customer success or in rapidly growing categories, that have completed an additional security review to ensure they meet the requirements of the endorsed app premium certification.

For a select few partner applications, there is an additional progression to become an SAP Concur Solution Extension, which is a category of solutions that can be purchased directly from SAP Concur.

Why partner with us?

Our partners have innovative applications that businesses around the world need – applications that solve critical challenges we can’t tackle on our own. Together, we can bring partners’ expertise to customers, open new doors for their businesses, and help build a path to sustainable growth. For example, partners with an SAP Concur endorsed app are provided with a path that brings additional opportunity, backed by marketing and sales support from us.

What value do these partnerships bring to our customers?

SAP Concur nurtures a community of partner applications, so our customers can bring innovation to their organizations at a faster pace. These are the disruptors delivering breakthrough ideas for tackling detailed processes, taking on unique industry requirements, and applying intelligent technology in new ways across every line of business.

Customers can discover these diverse options on the SAP Concur App Center, where we’ve curated the best applications that can extend their SAP Concur solutions – bringing ideas that represent immediate value to their businesses and deliver more return on their investments in SAP Concur solutions.

More on endorsed apps.

SAP Concur solutions cannot solve all our customers’ business challenges alone. Our partner ecosystem provides additional innovations to help customers on their journey to become an intelligent enterprise and a best-run business. This new initiative allows customers to take advantage of complete, proven solutions, with the most innovative technology brought to them by partner apps endorsed by SAP Concur solutions.

Since last summer, we have launched our first five endorsed app partnerships:

• CHOOOSE: Enables organizations to easily measure, reduce (via Sustainable Aviation Fuel), and manage travel-related carbon emissions based on Concur Travel and Concur TripLink data.
• Motus: Empowers companies to reimburse employees for the business use of personal assets —vehicles, devices, broadband, etc.—  in a tax-free, fair, and accurate way. This simplified reimbursement process integrates directly with Concur Expense.  
• Zylo: The Zylo integration for Concur Expense provides comprehensive visibility into software purchases made by employees – empowering companies to organize, optimize, and orchestrate all enterprise SaaS applications from one system of record.
• MedPro Concur Connect solutions: Empowers Life Sciences organizations to effortlessly search, capture, and export accurate healthcare professional (HCP) data to comply with U.S. Federal Open Payments (Sunshine act), state, and international transparency reporting regulations.
• International SOS: Provides duty of care solutions with real-time tracking, health and security intelligence, and alerts with 24/7 assistance, integrating with booking data from Concur Travel, Concur TripLink, and TripIt Pro.

Regional availability varies for every endorsed app. To learn more each partner and its availability, please visit the listing in the SAP Concur App Center. Endorsed apps are identified by a purple “Endorsed App” banner.
