The Power of Collaboration: The Power of The SAP Concur Partner Ecosystem

It’s a whole new world when it comes to how your company manages finance, travel, and expense programs. Success in the remote work age and beyond will be less a matter of individual effort than of collaboration among a constellation of specialized services. SAP Concur makes it easy to find and connect with the best of them through a vast network of partners and applications—and this is your chance to integrate them and begin 2021 on the right foot.

Build resilience into your travel and expense program with diverse solutions and services

Seize this time to adapt your program for the greater good of your fellow employees and your company. A recent report from IDC states:

“Data shows that due to the pandemic-driven increase in remote work, digital transformation efforts are advancing, and companies are expected to spend more on cloud-based solutions.”

By adopting and providing additional cloud service solutions, this will help you on your path to standardize, simplify, and automate your travel and expense (T&E) program.

The SAP Concur partner ecosystem is here so you can deliver a better employee experience and still meet the ongoing demands of the COVID-19 and post-pandemic era.

• Improve employee experiences from procurement to automated vendor payment.
• Provide tools and technology to enhance services offered by travel management companies (TMCs).
• Get help with the latest industry/geographic regulatory compliance, and immigration and taxation issues.

This blog marks the first of several we will publish this year to highlight this unique and highly beneficial global ecosystem.
