Concur Connect Establishes More Connections With Leading Travel Suppliers to
Deliver Full Content and E-Receipts to Power Smart Expenses
Avis Budget Group, SNCF, SWABIZ join other key suppliers all now connected to
over $35 billion of spend driven by Concur's over 7,000 clients from around
the world

REDMOND, Wash., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Concur (Nasdaq: CNQR)
the world's leading provider of on-demand business services that automate
Employee Spend Management, today announced that several industry-leading
suppliers -- including Avis/Budget, SNCF, SWABIZ (Southwest Business), Volaris
and Interjet -- have been added to the growing list of vendors participating
in Concur(R) Connect -- the global program that connects suppliers from around
the world to over $35 billion of spend driven by Concur's over 7,000 clients.
Suppliers participating in this program are able to provide Concur clients
with direct access to their travel inventory and content and deliver complete
electronic folio data in the form of e-receipts directly into Concur(R) Travel
& Expense.
Concur Connect gives clients exclusive access to services otherwise
unavailable through traditional managed travel programs, but doesn't just stop
at reservations like other content aggregators. Concur uses industry-exclusive
technology to gather e-receipts, automate expense reporting and deliver Smart
Expenses(TM) -- Concur's industry-first innovation that completely shatters
the notion of the traditional expense report. By matching the three trusted
sources of corporate travel data -- itinerary, corporate card and industry-
exclusive e-receipts -- Concur enables organizations to automatically complete
the expense report on the employee's behalf, making One Touch Business
Travel(TM) a reality.
"For too long, companies have suffered from a lack of direct access to the
travel content that they need to manage their corporate travel programs from a
global perspective," said Rajeev Singh, president and chief operating officer
for Concur. "This is in addition to the frustration they have in reconciling
what was booked with what was actually spent. Concur Connect solves these
issues globally, by delivering exclusive access to content from leading global
travel suppliers directly through Concur's online booking experience, while
also enabling these same suppliers to provide e-receipts that power the Smart
Expenses that are helping clients eliminate the traditional expense report.
The results are frictionless transactions for both corporate travel buyers and
travel suppliers, a seamless experience for business travelers and greater
control and efficiency to help our clients drive down costs."
These newly added suppliers join other recently added suppliers including
Hilton Hotels Corporation, Choice Hotels International, Intercontinental
Hotels Group, RideCharge, Deutsche Bahn and many others who are participating
in Concur Connect to provide clients with exclusive access to content,
inventory, programs and e-receipts. This industry-leading innovation ensures
that every Concur client has access to the travel content and programs they
need to help them manage and drive costs out of their corporate travel
program. Visitors to Concur's National Business Travel Association (NBTA)
International Convention & Exposition booth (#739) in Los Angeles, CA on July
28 will see how Concur's industry-leading travel and expense management
service -- Concur Travel & Expense -- delivers access to Concur Connect
suppliers.
