Managing university travel and expense (T&E) spend has long been a challenge for higher ed leaders, often weighed down by complex processes, inconsistent policies, and limited visibility into true costs. At Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the finance team set out to transform this experience by designing a process over an 18-month period that now satisfies university policy and traveler needs.
In this 30-minute UB Ed Talk, leaders from Rutgers will share their journey of moving from a fragmented process to a streamlined, standardized model to simplify T&E management while ensuring compliance and improving the traveler experience.
