SAP Concur is an American software development and licensing company that provides travel and expense management services to businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SAP Concur team \u2014 which includes Accenture Federal Services, Booz Allen Hamilton and CWTSato Travel \u2014 is expected to complete the business travel prototype within 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department hopes that the $9.3 million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/04\/09\/new-army-acquisition-chief-takes-on-rapid-buying\/\" target=_blank>Other Transaction Authority<\/a> award will \u201cexponentially lower the cost of airline tickets and save more than 10 million labor hours annually spent on the process of booking travel by more than 2 million active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel,\u201d according to the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1152\" height=\"684\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16sieolswvmy.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16sieolswvmy.jpg.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16sieolswvmy.jpg.jpg?resize=300,178 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16sieolswvmy.jpg.jpg?resize=768,456 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/16sieolswvmy.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,608 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of the money saved for the Pentagon, the change will likely be welcomed by service members who frequently complain about the archaic and error-prone current system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the press release, the DoD said it spends $9 billion on travel annually, with TDY travel covering roughly 70 percent of all vouchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this Other Transaction Authority, the DoD said it will lower costs by mandating the use of lower-cost, non-refundable airline tickets in markets without pre-negotiated fares. The DoD\u2019s award is also intended to launch a prototype capability to adopt commercially available travel processes using information technology solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to lowering overall costs, the new system will reduce workflow complexity, the DoD said. That should decrease the amount of time and effort spent by everyone from the traveler to the authorizing official in the reimbursement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have a responsibility to ensure our resources are used in the most efficient and effective manner, and given this specific project has such a wide ranging and deep impact \u2014 reforms with results like these are crucial,\u201d said DoD Chief Management Officer John H. Gibson in the release. \u201cI\u2019m proud of the work we\u2019re executing through the Reform Management Group and initiatives like this from the Information Technology Reform Team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Defense Department has fleshed out a plan to replace \u201cthe aging and inefficient Defense Travel
