Beyond the Buzzword: How to Drive Digital Adoption in T&E Programs

34m · SAP Concur Conversations · 28 Sep 14:00

Developing a high-performing travel and expense (T&E) program and getting employees to adopt the technology that comes with it can be challenging. That’s because most companies must design their program for a wide variety of employees whose needs are always changing, and whose familiarity and comfort with business travel and technology varies. It’s a tall order for sure, but fortunately, one that can be filled.

In this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast, Lisa Simpson, Travel and Card Services Specialist at JM Huber, shares the strategic approach JM Huber took to driving digital adoption of their T&E program and how the company was able to build and maintain a 95–97% adoption rate for more than 10 years (and counting).

Fraud-Free Culture: The Power of People in Fraud Prevention

Technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), can be powerful anti-fraud tools. So can clear policies and rules. But the savviest organizations also recognize the crucial role that people play in the anti-fraud equation. That’s because “fraud is a human problem. It’s not an accounting or a financial or a transactional problem,” says Andi McNeal, the Vice President of Education at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). In fact, in her experience, an ethical and compliant corporate culture “may be the most critical component of an entire anti-fraud program.”

 

In this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast, Andi joins Jeanne Dion, Vice President of the Value Experience team at SAP Concur, to discuss how to protect your organization from fraud. Together, they explain how cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and robust policies serve as formidable defenses, and underscore that the true linchpin in fraud prevention is an ethical corporate culture built on trust.
