The maximum benefit from your Concur T&E solution comes when it is integrated to other corporate systems. Concur customers typically integrate to the company's financials (GL/AP), the HR or payroll system, and the corporate card data feed. Now, Concur handles the corporate card import for customers, but the financial and HR integrations are typically the customer's "job". Concur's application is an excellent example of effective use of the SaaS (Software as a Service) model; yet these GL/AP/HR integrations typically remain the only part of this wonderful SaaS solution that's... well, not SaaS.

If the integrations aren't SaaS, that means they are "on premise". Your people must design, develop, test, deploy, and operate these bridges themselves. You can hire Concur or even TurnKey as a third party to write these bridge programs for you, but your people still have to run, monitor and maintain them. If anything changes (with your accounting policies for example), then your people have to update the integration. And if you want to move to a new GL/AP/HR system, well that typically means a complete rewrite of the integrations.

Sure you're IT people are sharp enough to create these bridge programs themselves, but should they? Do they have time?
Do your skilled technical staff have enough time to develop solutions before your 'go live' date? Is the day-to-day operation and maintenance of your Concur integration painful enough that you want to move it to the cloud?

Concur Integration as a Service from TurnKey uses the latest integration technology from Informatica Cloud to move your Concur integration off your systems and out of mind.
