Successful technology adoption in higher education starts with buy-in from multiple stakeholders. Strategic partnerships are no longer optional and offer an opportunity to leverage the strengths and vision of different groups within and outside an organization. In this webinar, we will go beyond the buzz words and discuss what it means to achieve internal strategic alliances that support the mission and vision of the institution. We will focus on specific scenarios of how Procurement and IT groups can work more effectively together, making sound cases for technology strategic sourcing and ensuring efficient deployment that leads to end-user and leadership satisfaction.

There is no doubt that technology has impacted how we work and live. Electronic travel and expense reconciliation in higher-ed can lag behind the corporate sector.

Learn how over the course of 5 years, The George Washington University has moved from a very manual process to a smooth audited environment for travel and expense.
Constantly Evolving the Traveler Experience: Fine-Tuning Your Travel & Expense System
Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 2:00 pm Eastern | 11:00 am Pacific
Once your integrated travel and expense solution is in production, your work is just beginning. The first year of production will afford institutions the opportunity to review policies and procedures, especially your configuration settings and audit functionality. As with any business process, especially one that potentially impacts so many employees and students on campus, it is essential to keep assessing where improvements can be made. Reporting from an integrated system can bring tremendous visibility to known issues while also bringing to light behaviors that were previously lost in the sheer volume of paper called reconciliation. In this, the second of three sessions, we will discuss how these insights can raise awareness to previously unknown issues creating the need for additional policies and greater responsibility for your travelers.
To the Future and Beyond: The Maturing Travel & Expense System, Thinking Outside the Box
Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 2:00 pm Eastern | 11:00 am Pacific
In this, the third installment of our integrated travel expense and card programs series, we will discuss how technology has changed our outlook on travel and institutional spend. Data collection has become more sophisticated in the last ten years. The ignorance of spending patterns or a traveler’s whereabouts can no longer be a defense. Duplicate payments and reimbursements become obvious, propriety of spend decisions can be reviewed and corrected and most importantly, you can move from a process to a strategic stance that fine-tunes your institutions system as a whole. In this session, we will discuss how to use your system for more than just travel and provide you tools that can transform how you do business.
