Today, many enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions provide Travel and Expense functions embedded as a 'freemium' model.

When deciding between travel and expense solutions, the decision process should focus on the long-term health of your organization or institution. With a long-term vision in mind, a few questions to consider include: Does your T&E system integrate seamlessly with your ERP solution to provide direct data flow across LOBs? Is there full transparency in total spend? How long does it currently take to process T&E requests and reimbursements? How quickly does your T&E system adapt to changing compliance standards within the industry, within your organization?
