Deploying Federal Workforce to Simultaneous Disasters
A SAP Concur blog post discusses how government agencies rapidly deploy thousands of relief personnel during disasters like the 2017 hurricanes and wildfires. It notes that paper-based processes caused delays, so SAP Concur developed 'Surge Blanket Travel' to deploy personnel from multiple origins to a common destination with a single authorization. It is reliable, scalable, compliant, auditable, and agile.
