Concur Quick Sheets
Concur Replaces TEM
Western employee travel processed solely in Concur as of June 30, 2020.
Advantages of the new travel system include mobile access, built-in policy compliance, transparent approval routing, improved reporting, and risk mitigation. Travelers can take photos of receipts on-the-go and submit electronic itineraries and expenses to auto-populate reports.
Why was TEM replaced?
Ellucian, TEM’s vendor, stopped providing updates to the application in 2016 as they transitioned to offer a different software opportunity. Since then, the support they provide Western for TEM has been steadily diminishing and is now expected to be completely unavailable by the end of 2020. Western needed to make a change.
