It's easy to assume your T&E program is fine because nothing is obviously broken. But "nothing's broken" and "working as hard as it could" are two very different things.

Reimbursement delays, compliance blind spots, and untracked spend often stay hidden until they've already cost you. Swipe through to see what the assessment covers, then get the full picture in three minutes.

Still keying expense data into your ERP by hand? 🧾

Connecting SAP Concur to your ERP removes the spreadsheets, rework, and reconciliation headaches between travel and expense and finance. The real question is how to connect them.

In our latest post, João Pedro Stimamiglio breaks down the three main paths:
🔹 SFTP: simple, stable batch file transfers (great for daily updates)
🔹 API: real-time data and end-to-end automation
🔹 SAP ICS: SAP’s ready-made connector for S/4HANA and ECC

He also covers options for Oracle PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and NetSuite, plus a 7-step plan for building a new integration, from defining scope to training your finance team.

Essential reading for IT and finance leaders who want more control over expense management.

That’s a wrap on the 7th Annual BTN Government Travel Summit in Arlington. Clear skies and a great view of the capital made for a memorable day.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with our team, and to BTN Group for bringing together such a thoughtful community of government travel leaders.

Doug Sillex joined a panel of industry leaders for “The State of Traveler Tracking and Future of Location Awareness,” sharing his perspective on how technology is helping organizations stay connected with travelers and personnel to meet their Duty of Care obligations.

It was also great to see our partners at AdTrav and the team from GSA presenting on panels throughout the day. The conversations on policy, compliance, and traveler safety gave everyone plenty to bring back to their programs.

We’re already looking forward to next year.

Last week, Derek Johnson represented Genesis at the ASBO International 2026 Annual Conference & Expo (AC&E) in Pittsburgh, joining school business professionals from across the country under this year's theme, Ignite: Powering Innovation, Shaping Tomorrow.

A sincere thank you to Teri Hagemeyer and SAP Concur for continuing to invest in our partnership and in the K-12 community. Working alongside the SAP Concur team gives us the chance to show district leaders how SAP Concur simplifies expense, travel, and invoice management while giving finance teams more visibility and control over spending.

We're also grateful to every district leader and finance professional who took time to meet with us. Those conversations gave us a clearer picture of what school business offices need most right now, and we're bringing those insights back to strengthen how we support our K-12 clients.

Thank you to ASBO International for bringing this community together. We're already looking forward to next year.

Earlier this week, Nick Coticchia, Derek Johnson, and Jack Gebhard represented Genesis at Partner Summit at SAP Connect in Las Vegas.

The day kicked off SAP Connect with a partner-focused look at what's ahead for the SAP ecosystem, including sessions with Manoj Swaminathan, President & Chief Product Officer of SAP Autonomous Suite, and Jan Gilg of SAP in conversation with EY's Nikhil Goray.

As always, the best part was the time spent with the people we work alongside every day. Thank you to our SAP Concur partners Scott Islami, Dave Owen, Courtney Denker, Michelle Jones, Kacey Flygare, and Luke Mancini, along with Carahsoft, SAP, SAP Concur, and many more, for the great conversations and a strong start to the week.

We're looking forward to finishing 2026 strong and building on these partnerships in 2027.

That's a wrap on the SCTEM 2026 Annual Conference in Dallas. Four days of conversations with higher education travel and expense leaders about adapting programs to new technology, evolving policies, and duty of care, which lined up well with this year's Frequent Adapter theme.

The best part was the time at the table. Steady traffic, good questions, and a lot of practical talk about what's actually working on campus.

Thank you to Alisa O'Neill and the team at SAP Concur for the continued investment in this partnership. SAP Concur solutions are a big part of what lets our team deliver for institutions.

Thanks as well to Teresa Athan for leading a well-run conference, and to our TMC partners for the collaboration and the candid discussions throughout the week. Those conversations are the reason events like this are worth the trip.

In 1993, expense software came in a cardboard box with a floppy disk inside. Three decades later, SAP Concur processes more than 1 billion expense transactions a year for over 85 million users.

In our latest blog post, João Pedro Stimamiglio walks through how SAP Concur got there: a near-failure, an early bet on subscription software before "SaaS" was a common term, an $8.3 billion acquisition by SAP, and more than a decade of machine learning built into everyday expense management.

It's a quick, interesting read for anyone who has ever filed an expense report from a pocketful of receipts.
