Going from Excellent to Astounding in Higher Education Tech: Penn State University and Huron

An SAP Concur podcast conversation highlights Penn State University's collaboration with Huron to innovatively use Concur Request to manage corporate and P-Card spend, enabling pre-approval before expenses are incurred. Penn State University has been a pioneer in expense management technology since the 1980s and reconnected with Huron through the SAP Concur higher education community. Outcomes include reducing over 500 expense GL accounts to under 200, simplifying ERP migration, and reducing training needs for new tools because users were already familiar with the SAP Concur platform.
