The IDC MarketScape provides an assessment of worldwide travel and expense applications for midmarket organisations (100-999 employees). SAP is named as a Leader in the report with strengths of experience with small and midmarket businesses, integrated approach, and broad ecosystem.
According to the IDC MarketScape, there are several challenges that make expense management particularly difficult for midmarket organisations. These businesses often operate in multiple countries requiring employees to engage in international travel which increases the complexity of expense management. When the complexity of travel increases, midmarket businesses frequently find themselves with limited resources to handle the changes. Additionally, midmarket companies are very keen on technology that allows them to do more with less. As a result, automation and workflow management tools have become highly prized.
SAP Concur has a very large customer base of small and midmarket businesses, giving them the experience and ability to customise their approach to the needs of smaller organisations. They also offer a large community of smaller businesses also using the SAP Concur platform and a broad partner network to tap into.
Over the years, SAP Concur has made investments to present users with the ability to tie travel, expense, and invoice management together with all the same vendor-sharing data into one platform that can integrate with organisations’ existing ERP or financial systems. This automated and integrated approach brings simplicity to managing employee spend, improves transaction visibility, optimises policy compliance, and provides greater data accuracy.
