About CSU Expense Management Optimization Initiative
The CSU Expense Management Optimization Initiative is to enhance the CSU’s Expense Management framework and the SAP Concur platform in a manner that improves the overall user experience, expands services available to the campuses, establishes unified policies, and enables the onboarding of remaining universities within a single CSU instance. This systemwide initiative simplifies expense management by bringing all California State Universities onto a single, streamlined Concur system, enabling easier travel and expense management, greater consistency, and smarter operations for everyone.
