Support for Concur End Users from TurnKey

Concur End-User SupportConcur end users are going to have questions: maybe about Concur usage, their passwords, company travel policy, or the corporate card program, or even about the travel agency. Users with questions seek answers. They go to their coworkers, managers, Accounting, IT staff and/or anywhere they can find help. Bad answers are problematic at best. Giving users good answers drives satisfaction, adoption and quality results from your T&E program . . . but at what cost to the company?

When two of your employees put their heads together to answer a question about how to use software, or how to interpret company policy, those two people are not focusing on their core job function. Providing support for end users of software is another task that is both important, and not the company's core competency. Asking high value managerial, accounting, or IT staff to be the "Concur Help Desk" is not what you hired them to do. What's worse, it's a task that requires constant knowledge upkeep and customer service skills training few in accounting or IT ever get. Receiving User Support direct from Concur only answers questions about Concur feature functionality.

TurnKey Support for Concur End Users is a low cost high quality option to answer all of your users T&E related questions, and relieve a challenging burden from your staff that produces better overall results.
