USG Selects Concur's Market-Leading Expense Management Solution For Company-Wide Savings Fortune 500 Manufacturer Selects Concur Expense to Reduce Operating Costs And Increase Productivity REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Concur Technologies (Nasdaq: CNQR - news), the leading provider of Corporate Expense Management solutions, announced today that USG Corp., (NYSE: USG - news), a leading global provider of building products, has selected Concur Expense(TM) to provide automation of its travel and entertainment (T&E) expense management process. Concur Expense, the world's leading Web-based T&E expense management solution, reduces operational costs and increases business efficiencies enabling companies like USG Corp. to free valuable resources, focus on core competencies, and better compete in the global economy. ``As a large, global company, it was important for us to select a vendor and solution that had a proven track record with companies our size and breadth,'' said Victoria Gutowski, corporate business travel manager for USG Corp. ``We chose Concur Expense to automate our manual T&E expense reporting process, reduce operational costs, and provide reporting capabilities which will enable us to better control travel costs.'' ``Concur Expense is 'the' Corporate Expense Management choice for hundreds of companies around the world and is the most proven solution for improved and streamlined T&E expense management in Fortune 500 businesses,'' said Steve Singh, chairman and chief executive officer for Concur. ``Concur's market-leading, results-driven T&E expense management solution will enable USG Corp. to achieve a rapid return on its investment by maximizing its limited resources and focusing on mission critical tasks.'' Concur Expense automates each step of the travel and entertainment expense management process -- from expense report preparation and approval to policy compliance, reimbursement, and data analysis -- to increase traveler and back-office productivity while uncovering critical travel spending trends. USG Corp. searched for an automated expense management solution to replace its manual method of submitting and managing travel expenses. Once fully deployed to its frequent business travelers, USG Corp. expects Concur Expense to yield a reduction in total expense report processing costs and time. When combined with a corporate credit card, USG Corp. will gain fast and easy auditing control and reporting capabilities. This cost analysis will be used for supplier negotiations.
