”Recent Aberdeen end-user benchmark research has shown that expense management automation is a lever companies can use to rein in travel costs, not only from streamlining the report filing process point of view, but by being the key contract and policy control mechanism and information repository firms need to ensure their costs are optimized over time,” said Degnan, who will share the study finding details in the keynote.
