7 Steps to Travel Success: The Current State of Business Travel

SAP Concur Team |

The world of business travel is changing at a rapid pace. Gone are the lavish days of the 60s flying clubs where business travel was for the elite. Technology has made the world accessible and travelling for business is now a key component of success whether you’re an SMB or Enterprise organisation. And with it comes a new array of challenges. 

Some of the top priorities’ companies have identified are:

  • Connecting T&E
  • Addressing a lack of visibility
  • Getting real-time insight
  • Duty of care to their staff

Regardless of the size of your business, having an incomplete managed travel programme can be costly. 71% of organisations reported that they are only seeing travel costs after trips have been booked according to a study done on finance directors by SAP Concur.

Watch the first webinar in our 7 Steps to Travel Success series - The General State of Business Travel where Tim Page, Senior Director, Head of Partnerships and Alliances and Lisa Occleshaw, former Business Development Director UKI Enterprise at SAP Concur dive into some of these challenges. 

Join SAP Concur during our 7 Steps to Travel Success webinar series where we will look at topics from online booking tool adoption, employee safety, NDC and many more alongside various travel partners.
