UPDATE: Concur Pilot for Feb. 18, 2020

Posted on by

We are writing to provide an update regarding the University SAP Concur implementation.

The SAP Concur project is a collaborative UConn initiative to implement a best-in-class, cloud-based Travel and Expense management service for the university.  There are currently over 2,600 employees participating in the pilot phase of this project.  There has been strong feedback during this phase that complexity in the environment has, at times, made it difficult to make best use of the service.

Based on this feedback, the first phase of the project will not go-live on its previously scheduled date of March 10, 2020.  The project will, instead, assess the environment to streamline elements of the workflow and to simplify customer interaction.  In the coming weeks you will hear more details about the project, including updated timelines and rollouts.

Concur Travel & Expense Project – Townhalls

Posted on by

EXCITING NEWS!  The University has been working towards implementing a new Travel and Expense System which will create a seamless process for employees to request, book, and expense travel!  Reimbursements will be more efficiently processed, allowing travelers to receive their payments in a timely manner.   We want to thank the areas across the campus who have helped pilot this system: Athletics, ITS, Admissions, Statistics, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB), History, and the School of Business.  These groups have worked diligently with the project team to ensure that the system is ready for a full campus roll out later this year.
