<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif">I believe these pre-approvals are going to be very similar to the “travel planning” option that exists in iTravel. It’s a link above the “expense reporting” one that you’d
normally use. These weren’t mandatory in the past and our department didn’t really use them.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif">In iTravel pre-trips are routed to the coordinator and turn into regular trips when approved. It shouldn’t increase the work, as that same trip will just be updated as you
go rather than duplicated. There may be some opportunity for pre-loading information and streamlining of other things.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif">Anyone who would like to can start using that feature in iTravel now so we can all sort of “preview” the process. I’m sure it won’t be exactly the same, but it should be
pretty similar. Visually it may look like the booking dashboard in UC Travel Center & BCD, just with additions for expense reporting.

in the campus’ multi-year initiative, Impact23, to update many of our aging administrative systems. This milestone is more than eight months in the making and has involved participation from staff members and pilot departments across the campus. Concur is
successfully used by many UC campuses. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif;color:black">As part of this transition, UC Riverside will leverage features available in Concur to reduce out-of-pocket expenses

The T&E Card program will transition from personal liability to a corporate-liability card program (details below).</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Fira Sans",sans-serif"><br>

are flowing through the system as expected and enabled the project team to update guidance based on lessons learned during the pilot to more effectively roll out Concur to the campus. Instructor-led training and communications will continue, with Travel Arranger
