Running a great SAP Concur program is an ongoing practice, not a one-time setup. This article brings together the frameworks, checklists, and peer insights that help established admins continuously improve their program — and measure how well it's working.

The best SAP Concur admins don't just maintain their programs — they actively improve them. This article surfaces the resources that help you take a step back, assess where your program stands, and make targeted improvements that benefit your organization, your end users, and your own efficiency.


Your Admin Checklist for Success

You know the feeling: the to-do list is always full. Between supporting users, keeping up with product updates, and answering questions, it's easy to put your own program health on the back burner. Taking time to run through a structured checklist — especially at the start of a new year or quarter — helps you:

  • Reduce admin workload throughout the year
  • Improve employee experience
  • Strengthen policy compliance
  • Get up to speed on the latest SAP Concur features and updates

Building a Best-in-Class T&E Program

What separates an average travel and expense program from a truly effective one? It comes down to integration, visibility, and a culture of compliance. These resources help you build toward that standard:


Peer Perspectives

Some of the most practical advice comes from admins who've already solved the problems you're facing. These two resources capture peer-sourced wisdom from SAP Concur administrators across the US, UK, and Australia:

  • Top 8 Tips from SAP Concur Administrators — video featuring real admin insights on pushing yourself and your program, using the sandbox, training from multiple angles, leveraging reporting, keeping integration top of mind, and staying connected to the Community. Timestamps included so you can skip to what's most relevant.
  • Tips & Tricks from Admins and Product Experts — 100+ tips curated by both SAP Concur product experts and customers, available as Community articles or downloadable eBooks by theme

Measuring Program Sentiment

Understanding how your employees actually feel about your T&E program is one of the most underused tools available to admins. If users are frustrated, they find workarounds — which reduces compliance and increases your support burden. Measuring sentiment regularly helps you catch issues early and demonstrate program value to leadership.

The End-User Survey Toolkit makes this easy:

  • Expert-crafted questionnaire — sample survey questions developed with Qualtrics experts and SAP Concur clients
  • Sample email communication — ready-to-use template for deploying the survey to your users
  • Survey tips and best practices — how to run a successful rollout and act on what you learn
