What are the toughest challenges for a company as they expand, and how can executives conquer them?

Improving productivity, respect of the expense policy, better expense management and control of fraud, optimizing user-experience are some key reasons to implement a digital solution for Managing Travel and Expense.

As a biotech company, Galapagos also faces specific and strategic compliance issues. Thus, being compliant with the Sunshine Act led them to choose SAP Concur. The solution was deployed in 10 countries.

During this 30-minute webinar, Michelle Mertens, Associate Director Financial Controlling & Compliance, and An T’Seyen, Manager Internal Control at Galapagos, shared best practices around optimizing spend and travel programs, why they implemented SAP Concur, with some “quick wins” to put into practice.
