Concur, an SAP company that offers cloud-based services designed to simplify management of travel and expenses, has launched the Concur Solution Provider program in the U.S. and Canada. The program enables†partners to expand their cloud-based offerings to include travel, expense, and invoice management solutions.
“Travel and expense is the second-largest area of controllable business spend – a challenge especially significant to SMBs. With a partner-focused initiative like the Concur Solution Provider program, we can help partners expand the value they provide SMBs while driving business growth and profitability,” says Christal Bemont, SVP and GM of SMB and national accounts, Concur.
Sachin Vora, who recently joined Concur as senior director of global business development, will lead the program. Vora is a channel veteran who spent the last 10 years building SMB and channel partner programs at Microsoft.††
“Concur’s Solution Provider program lets us help our clients streamline cumbersome processes and create value in travel and expense – two areas that typically tax their limited resources,” says Bob Kane, SVP, product marketing at Insight Enterprises.
Concur also recently announced plans to integrate with Office 365 to further simplify travel booking and expense reporting. This integration will enable users to submit expenses from Outlook and book travel based on Outlook calendar meetings.
“As evidenced by Concur’s integration with Office 365, this move to redouble efforts on the solution provider channel and Microsoft CSP is a great opportunity for partners to drive digital and cloud transformation into their SMB customer base and deliver real value by aligning cloud services,” says Arnie Mondloch, senior director of SAP and Microsoft Alliance at Microsoft.
