"Using preferred vendors within the Cliqbook tool allows us to make sure that we have greater adoption, better cost savings and it also helps us to re-negotiate better pricing for future. It also helps us get our arms around spend so as we look whether it’s geographical or whether it’s different departments, it really helps us to start and look and see where we can do better with that spend and it actually makes each individual person become an owner of managing their funds for each, whether it’s the budget or just their own spend in general."
"Going to an automated tool was basically driven from compliance whether it be SOX, IRS—auditing rules in general we had huge deficits in those areas from authenticating approvals to just where it came from. Was there fraud? It was much harder to deduct fraud so in order to reduce those risks and exposures we knew an automated tool was the answer to help us in those areas."
"Looking at different solutions and looking at whether we hosted or an in-house module that would be added, again cost was a huge factor. Space on your servers was a huge factor. Upgrades later was a huge factor and looking at technology today we know that hosting is definitely more the wave of the future so why not go ahead and adopt that now. It also gave us opportunities to know we could sign a long term contract and we didn’t have the heavy investment that we might have going like to something on our ERP system."
"I think having something like Concur from my point of view as something that I helped initiated really makes me feel good to know that I’ve probably or I have most likely affected the bottom line, affected those users lives and their day to day business and maybe allowed them more time to focus on what we need them to do for our company to build and grow our company."
"I think Concur has made a huge impact in our corporation. One, from reducing costs and I think that will only continue especially with the adoption of the Cliqbook as an added benefit. Two, from the time spent on doing expense reports; auditing, when they come in its much more easier, the tools, the information is very accessible. "

"One of the benefits with the Concur program and offering the EFT is that the employees receive their funds, the reimbursement within a timely manner. The checks don’t get lost and they’re all very excited about that."
