The SAP Concur framework is a per transaction framework against the contracted Concur renewal cycle. The Concur framework anchors the customer's Concur framework against the publisher's preferred broad SAP framework. The buyer side framework anchors the Concur framework against the customer's actual Concur utilization framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad commercial framework. The framework typically delivers fifteen to thirty percent savings across the Concur spend at the contracted Concur renewal cycle. Read the related SAP RISE Negotiation Guide, the SAP RISE TCO calculator, the SAP advisory practice, and the Vendor Shield always on program.

The SAP Concur framework intersects with five principal commercial dimensions across the customer's Concur portfolio. One. The Concur pricing framework. Two. The Concur module framework. Three. The Concur per transaction framework. Four. The Concur user framework. Five. The contracted Concur renewal framework. Each dimension carries material commercial sensitivity that the buyer side framework must anchor against the customer's actual Concur utilization framework. Read the multi vendor negotiation scorecard and the benchmarking practice.

SAP Concur pricing

The SAP Concur pricing framework is the publisher's flagship Concur commercial framework. The pricing framework anchors the customer's Concur framework against the publisher's preferred broad SAP framework. The pricing framework typically applies a per transaction framework against the contracted Concur transaction volume with publisher minimums across the contracted Concur framework. The Concur pricing framework is calculated as a per transaction framework against the customer's Concur transaction volume.

The publisher Concur pricing framework typically applies the publisher Concur pricing framework percentage against the contracted Concur transaction spend, with publisher Concur minimums across the contracted Concur framework. The buyer side framework anchors the Concur pricing framework against the customer's actual Concur utilization framework. Lock in Concur price protection terms across the contracted Concur framework. Read the SAP advisory practice.

SAP Concur modules

The SAP Concur module framework is the publisher's preferred Concur commercial framework across the principal Concur modules. The principal Concur modules are Concur Travel, Concur Expense, Concur Invoice, and the broader Concur module framework. The publisher Concur framework typically anchors the Concur module framework at the contracted Concur module framework. The publisher Concur module framework typically pushes the customer's Concur framework toward the publisher's preferred broad Concur module framework.

The buyer side framework anchors the Concur module framework against the customer's actual Concur module utilization framework. Negotiate the Concur module framework at the contracted Concur module framework. Lock in module price protection terms across the contracted Concur module framework. Read the SAP RISE Negotiation Guide.

The per transaction framework

The Concur per transaction framework is the principal commercial framework against the Concur framework. The publisher Concur framework typically anchors the per transaction framework against the publisher's preferred broad Concur framework. The per transaction framework typically applies the publisher per transaction framework percentage against the contracted Concur transaction volume, with publisher minimums across the contracted Concur framework.

The buyer side framework anchors the per transaction framework against the customer's actual Concur transaction volume. Negotiate the per transaction framework at the contracted Concur framework. Lock in per transaction price protection terms across the contracted Concur framework. Read the SAP RISE TCO calculator.

The user framework

The Concur user framework is the principal commercial framework against the Concur framework. The publisher Concur framework typically anchors the user framework against the publisher's preferred broad Concur user framework. The user framework typically applies the publisher user framework percentage against the contracted Concur user populations, with publisher minimums across the contracted Concur framework.

The buyer side framework anchors the user framework against the customer's actual Concur user utilization framework. Negotiate the user framework at the contracted Concur framework. Lock in user price protection terms across the contracted Concur framework. Read the benchmarking practice.

The exposure framework

The exposure framework is the principal commercial framework against the Concur framework. The framework typically segments the exposure population across four principal exposure populations: the module exposure, the per transaction exposure, the user exposure, and the support exposure. SAP has applied substantial Concur framework price increases against customers across the broader Concur framework, with documented cases at the upper customer scale.

The buyer side framework anchors the exposure framework against the customer's actual Concur utilization framework. Build a credible competitive posture across the Concur module framework, the per transaction framework, the user framework, and the broader Concur commercial framework. Read the SAP knowledge hub.

The buyer side moves

The buyer side framework for the Concur framework has eleven moves at the contracted Concur renewal cycle. One. Anchor the Concur framework against the customer's actual Concur utilization framework. Two. Segment the Concur framework across the module, per transaction, user, and support populations. Three. Run the Concur shortfall framework across the principal Concur populations. Four. Negotiate the Concur framework against the publisher's preferred broad Concur commercial framework.

Five. Build a credible competitive posture across the Concur framework. Six. Run the broader Concur shortfall framework against the contracted Concur framework. Seven. Negotiate the Concur framework against the publisher's preferred long term commercial framework. Eight. Run the bespoke Concur framework where the customer's Concur consumption framework justifies the bespoke framework. Nine. Lock in Concur price protection terms across the contracted Concur framework. Ten. Apply the Concur ramp framework where the customer's Concur consumption framework justifies the ramp framework. Eleven. Run the broader SAP vendor management posture across the contracted Concur framework. Read the SAP advisory practice.
