Coming Soon Support for TLS v 1.0 Encryption Protocol to End March of 2017

Overview

Concur announces an End of Support cycle for version 1.0 of the TLS encryption protocol, continuing support for the more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. As background, the TLS protocol allows secure back and forth communications between a phone or computer and a cloud-based service.

Note that, since less than 1% of Concur users are logging in to Concur Solutions using browsers or phones limited to version 1.0, a very small number of users are affected by this support discontinuation.

PLEASE NOTE NEW END DATE OF SUPPORT IS MARCH

We have moved the date support will end from January 31^st to March 31^st of 2017 in order to give our clients ample time to understand and make the required manual changes to their browser's security settings. These changes will be detailed in an upcoming service release.

Concur is taking this step after careful consideration of both the client’s security and ease of upgrade to the newer, more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. This end of life plan for TLS v 1.0 ensures our clients are communicating with Concur services in a safe and secure manner using TLS v. 1.1 and newer.

What This Means – the Client Experience

For our clients, the use of an unsecured connection can expose confidential data, resulting in compromised sessions across any TLS channel of communication (for example, Concur services). For this reason, Concur is alerting the client now to ensure they are fully prepared for the removal of support for this protocol. Working with Concur, client admins can begin assessment of compliance with newer versions of TLS at their companies.

WHAT DEVICES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE?

In general, browsers and phones using TLS to establish inbound / outbound

communication channels with Concur services are affected. Each device may or may not be capable of upgrade to support TLS v 1.1 and later.

INFORMATIONAL BANNER TO DISPLAY

A banner will now display whenever a user attempts to log in using a browser that does not support TLS v 1.1 and later and thus cannot negotiate a connection. The intent is to alert the client to this upcoming change using an informational-only message.

(8)

Release Notes: Expense Pay

January 2017

TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW VERSION AT THE WORKPLACE

Transitioning to support for TLS v 1.1 and later may simply require updating security settings of your browser. In most instances, the company already has the support in place, and need only identify non-compliant browsers and upgrade these desktops to newer versions.

Phones incorporating operating systems without support for TLS v 1.1 and later may be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. That is, each phone may be made compliant by an update to the OS or otherwise, while older phones without support or any method to update may need to be retired.

Export Funding Account Details to Excel

• For Banking Only, in all countries using a country and currency combination not supported by Expense Pay:

Concur TripLink and Ctrip

Integration Now Available

Overview

Ctrip and Concur make the process of expensing business travel faster, easier, and more accurate for our mutual clients by connecting two industry leading platforms to create a streamlined travel and expense experience. The Ctrip Concur integration enables all Air and Hotel trips booked and managed by Ctrip to be populated automatically in Concur Request and Expense. The Ctrip integration leverages the Request service to allow client companies to have visibility into their business travelers’ travel plans and costs.

This integration includes the following major features:

• Company Level Linkage – This enables the connection of Ctrip and Concur accounts at the company level. Individual travelers do not need to complete any account connection steps.

(36)

March 18 2017

• Ctrip Trips Appear in Concur Request via TripLink – This integration utilizes the Agency Proposal feature. Trips made in Ctrip are sent to Concur after booking. A request is created on behalf of a traveler with the Air and Hotel booking as request segments.

• Ctrip Trips Appear in Concur Available Expenses via TripLink – After the request is approved, the trips may show as an available expense. Clients using Pre-Expense Airfare will see air bookings in Available Expenses once ticketed. The ability to expense hotels will be available once the trip is complete.

• Company Paid Segments – Company paid segments will be sent to Concur, allowing the client to use Expense and Intelligence to track and reconcile all itineraries.

This integration uses TripLink to connect the Ctrip travel platform with Concur

Request and Expense. Once the integration is complete, users automatically see their trip segments in Request, then after approval, in Expense, saving time and

preventing data entry errors.

Configuration / Feature Activation

In order to use the integration, clients must have purchased TripLink, Request

Professional Edition, and Expense Professional Edition. Contact Concur Client Support to begin the integration.



For more information, refer to the TripLink/Ctrip Integration User Guide.

Coming Soon Enhanced Fiscal Calendar for Analysis / Intelligence

Concur will soon provide an enhanced fiscal calendar for Analysis / Intelligence. A fiscal calendar allows organizations to define their accounting periods independent of the standard calendar year.

The new fiscal calendar will be available in Reporting Configuration, which is accessed via Administration > Expense.

Can Now Inactivate an Account in Employee Banking

Overview

Expense Pay admins can now mark an employee's bank account as Active or Inactive from the Payment Manager > Monitor Payee > Employee Banking page.

While a bank account is Inactive, the employee cannot submit new expense reports.

Employees, who have entered updated banking information in Profile, can set their account back to Active by selecting Yes in the Active field on the Profile > Bank Information page. If the employee's bank account is marked Inactive by accident, the Expense Pay admin can revert the account to Active on the Employee Banking page, but if the inactivation was done intentionally to ensure that the employee updates their banking profile, the admin should not activate the bank account directly as that is the responsibility of the employee.

NOTE: Expense Pay admins will not be able to process cash payment demands for employees who have Inactive bank accounts. There is no change to current functionality if the account is set to Inactive while a payment is already in process.

This change enhances the Expense Pay admins ability to manage payments to employees who move between countries.

What the Admin (or User or Implementation) Sees

On the Employee Banking page, a new Inactivate (or Activate) button displays.
