    anytime, anywhere through a secure web-based interface. Single sign-on capabilities enable easy
    access to the reporting solution through issuers' websites.

    Spanish, French, Canadian French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Korean,
    Portuguese, Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

    details can be automatically viewed resulting in deeper spend insights and the
    ability to better analyze data for vendor negotiations and pre-population of
    employee expense reports.
  • Streamlines the accounting process — accommodates multiple
    accounting systems and schemes resulting in powerful accounting capabilities
    that solve simple to complex requirements.

    parameters can be easily customized to monitor spend and help ensure
    compliance.
