Current UD Expense Management Program § “Well, our department has a different process” § “We interpret the policy a little differently” § “Approvals can be cumbersome and take too long, we need a better process” § “We don’t have time to do independent review” § “No good way for a manager to sign off” § “I don’t have to learn it, my proxy can do it” § “Works isn’t adaptable” UD is looking to improve the user experience for the employee, the traveler, the proxy/delegate, and administrators/approvers
