What is Concur? Concur is the brand name of a travel and expense system. Concur, which has been in business since 1993, is used by thousands of organizations of all sizes around the world. At the University of Michigan, Concur will be used for tracking and reconciling employee travel, hosting, P-Card (travel and non-travel), and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses.  It can also be used to make travel arrangements (book airfare, hotel accommodations, car rental, etc.) How did the University choose Concur? The multi-step process to select a vendor to provide a travel and expense system for the University began with a detailed RFP and also included input from faculty and staff focus groups as well as vendor demonstrations. After a thorough analysis of this information, we selected Concur, a widely known and highly regarded vendor for this type of service. Benefits offered by Concur Concur offers a number of significant benefits to you. Among many other things, Concur:  Reduces the amount of time necessary for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses Automates cumbersome and time-consuming steps associated with making travel arrangements, as well as tracking, managing, and reconciling travel, hosting, P-Card, and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses Takes advantage of the University’s volume purchasing power to provide better pricing to units and departments on everything from airfare to accommodations Project Timeline (projected) Our plans call for two units within Business and Finance to begin using Concur in Summer 2009 on a pilot basis.  We will then expand the pilot to a group of schools, colleges, and units, which will likely occur in the Fall 2009.  During this pilot phase, representatives from these areas will use Concur to manage their travel arrangements as well as their travel, hosting, P-Card, and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses.  After the second pilot phase concludes, Concur will then be made available to the rest of the University. This will most likely happen sometime in the Winter 2010. There will be a strong communications and training program to help everyone learn about and use Concur.
