| SAP | Legacy | SAP Concur Travel | Travel Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2010 | 2010 |
In 2010, Serco implemented SAP Concur Travel as its corporate travel booking platform. The deployment targeted Travel Management for executive assistants supporting Executive Directors and the CFO UK & Europe, and it operated alongside the internal travel department within Serco’s 50,000 employee professional services organization.
SAP Concur Travel was configured to manage booking workflows and itinerary management for senior executives and their support teams, with policy-aware booking controls and approval routing used by Executive Assistants. Configuration emphasized centralized itinerary visibility, booking recordkeeping, and delegated travel arrangement capabilities that matched the EA role responsibilities described for Serco staff.
Operational workflows show SAP Concur Travel used for coordinating travel arrangements while expense transactions, purchase orders, and invoices were processed on SAP, and employee changes and forms were submitted through the My HR software system. The pattern reflects an operational landscape where travel booking and itinerary data from SAP Concur Travel feed into finance and HR processes, and coordination with an internal travel department and EA teams provided day to day operational coverage.
Governance and process changes centered on formalizing EA and executive booking responsibilities, approval workflows for travel requests, and role-based access for travel coordinators and finance users. Implementation emphasis was on aligning travel booking operations with existing SAP finance processes and HR records updates, and on standardizing travel workflows across the CFO UK & Europe office and support functions.
