PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - March 31, 2011) - CyberShift, a global provider of expense management and workforce management software and services, today announced its inclusion in technology research and consulting firm PayStream Advisors' 2011 "Travel and Expense Management (TEM) Benchmark Report: Improving T&E Processes through Automation."
Based on research conducted with more than 300 accounts payable and finance professionals, PayStream Advisors' benchmark report profiles the use of expense management automation solutions across U.S.-based enterprises. The survey results illuminated overall trends that shape the TEM landscape, helping practitioners better benchmark their own operations against the processes of similar businesses. This year's report noted an increase in business travel and entertainment expenses and continued emphasis on cost containment, fraud mitigation and compliance.
"The emphasis on corporate cost containment and fraud mitigation during the past few years has prompted accounts payable professionals to seek new ways to automate traditionally paper-based and labor-intensive expense management processes," commented Richard Lang, research manager at PayStream Advisors. "Businesses are turning to a set of technologies referred to as TEM solutions that streamline the expense submission and reimbursement cycle to meet new requirements for efficiency and control."
The report spotlights CyberShift as a global expense management solution provider that holds a unique position in the marketplace given its flexibility when providing customers with both on-demand and in-house licensing delivery options. Through a customer case study, PayStream Advisors' report also illustrates how CyberShift Expense helps audit, reconcile and reimburse expenses easily and more quickly, ultimately providing better control over costs and fraud detection.
"As travel and entertainment costs rise, companies may find themselves struggling to keep up with expense cost containment and compliance requirements," said senior product director, Expense Applications at CyberShift, Craig Fearon. "By automating the complexities of this process, organizations can simplify the process for travelers, reduce fraud, streamline workflow and collaboration and better control costs by aligning with spending-based policy compliance rules."
