Cloud solutions are now more affordable for SMBs, and the post cites Analysys Mason finding that businesses using SAP Concur T&E solutions save an estimated $54,000 a year and 148 hours weekly for finance or accounting teams. Selection should weigh integration, ease of use, and visibility and control.
