| Emburse | Legacy | Emburse Enterprise | Expense Management | ERP | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017 Idaho State University implemented Emburse Enterprise in the Expense Management category. The deployment addressed a multi campus operational footprint across four campuses, supporting between 1,500 and 2,000 travelers and processing eight to nine thousand annual travel reimbursement reports, and it was implemented alongside the institution's Ellucian HR and financial software suite where Chrome River is referenced in operational notes.
The Emburse Enterprise implementation emphasized automated capture and line item extraction, using Snap & Send receipt ingestion and optical character recognition to populate the expense wallet and reduce manual data entry. Expense Management functional capabilities were configured to combine receipt line items with travel card transaction data, automate verification of amount and category against the university travel and expense policy, and surface non compliant items to submitters for explanation prior to approval.
Operational integrations included connection to institutional finance workflows within the Ellucian HR and financial software suite and reconciliation with travel card transaction feeds, supporting approvers and finance staff distributed across the state. Approvals were enabled via email and mobile devices, with in system query threads and automated reminder notifications to reduce paper routing and improve transparency of report status for travelers and approvers.
Governance and process changes centered on embedding the university expense policy into Emburse Enterprise at go live, enabling automatic policy flagging, contextual submitter explanations, and the ability to approve and reimburse entire reports while isolating single flagged line items. Explicit outcomes recorded in operational notes include improved policy compliance, increased visibility into outstanding expenses, decreased processing time, and higher end user satisfaction for traveling faculty and staff.

| Emburse | Legacy | Emburse Chrome River Travel | Travel Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Idaho State University implemented Emburse Chrome River Travel in the Travel Management category to centralize travel and expense processing for the campus. The deployment supported university travel operations where staff administered over 340 credit card accounts and reviewed more than 8,400 invoices annually for over 750 vendors, representing over $43 million in annual payments. Emburse Chrome River Travel was positioned to handle the core travel and expense lifecycle used by the accounts payable and travel office functions.
Configuration focused on standard Travel Management capabilities including expense reporting, travel authorization workflows, corporate card reconciliation, and supplier invoice handling. Prior to and during the rollout staff used Excel macros to automate invoice tasks and reduce processing time, and those procedural automations informed how Chrome River was configured to capture receipts, route approvals, and reconcile card transactions. The implementation narrative indicates the application was used to move manual, spreadsheet driven controls into system-based workflows for consistent processing.
Operational coverage included travel card program administration, accounts payable invoice review, and travel office processing across the institution rather than a single department. Staff responsibilities included ongoing resolution of customer conflicts related to payments and reports, and the travel system supported those operational touchpoints through centralized expense records and approval audit trails. No external system integrators are specified in the record.
Governance work included creation and revision of policies and procedures to improve clarity and efficiency, and hands on onboarding, training, and coaching of new office staff to align business processes with the new system. The implementation was supported by university personnel who served as the Travel Card Program Administrator and hiring chair functions, embedding process ownership into daily operations. Explicit outcomes reported include reduced time needed to process invoices through automation and improved efficiency in payment workflows.
