Concur has announced a strategic alliance with IBM to jointly market Concur’s solutions to global enterprises.

Under the terms of the agreement, IBM will promote Concur's cloud-based expense management solutions to IBM Global Expense Reporting Solutions clients.

IBM’s clients will continue to receive the expertise and support of Global Process Service and Business Process Outsourcing operations while migrating to Concur’s travel and expense management platform, which is used by customers in over 150 countries.

John Torrey, EVP, Corporate Strategy of Concur, said;

"We are thrilled to enter into this alliance with IBM to help their customers experience the same benefits as Concur’s 20,000 current customers and the 25 million travellers they represent."

IBM will continue to provide T&E back office services to clients who procure expense services and solutions from Concur as part of IBM’s broad portfolio of business process solutions.

"As the leader in providing an open platform that offers end to end integrated travel management, Concur is the logical partner for IBM to deliver continued innovation in T&E services to our clients," said Sandy Khanna, Global Practice Leader of IBM Global Process Services.
