Danish Government agency selects Basware solution to gain control
over expense management process
Basware Travel & Expense Management solution enables management of
travel-related expenditure, data and transactions in 175 governmental
departments.
Espoo, Finland - 20 May 2009 - Basware, the leading provider of
purchase to pay solutions, has been awarded a five-year contract to
deliver its Travel & Expense Management (TEM) solution to the Danish
Agency for Governmental Management, a public body which generates and
manages over 100,000 travel expense transactions per year.
The agency, which is responsible for the preparation of the Danish
central government's budget and fiscal accounts, also spearheads the
development, specification and implementation of the Danish Ministry
of Finance's initiatives aimed at increasing the efficiency
of administrative processes particularly those dealing with
financial management and accounting.
The implementation of the Basware TEM solution is one element in a
central initiative which aims to drive administrative efficiencies
throughout 175 departments within the Danish government including the
Ministries of Justice, Employment, Culture, Defence and Finance.
Roll-out of the solution and corresponding administrative systems
will take place during the second quarter of this year with
completion of the entire deployment scheduled for 2010 with an
expected 60,000 users.
"We are delighted to announce Basware as our chosen strategic partner
for the implementation of this solution," said Henrik Pinholt, Vice
Director, Danish Agency for Governmental Management. "With the
Basware TEM solution in place, we expect to significantly simplify
and streamline our process for handling travel and expense claims,
and optimise the efficiency of the business travellers, managers and
accountants who handle these transactions on a daily basis."
Odd Roar Trapnes, Senior Vice President at Basware Scandinavia, has
no doubt that Basware Travel & Expense Management solution will
enable the Danish Government agency to gain control over travel
management and improve the transparency of the expense reimbursement
process. "We are excited to be working with the Danish government and
are confident the TEM solution will deliver the speed, accuracy,
seamless integration and practicality that are crucial to the success
of the Agency for Governmental Management's initiative for refining
its administrative processes," Trapnes said.
The Basware Travel & Expense Management solution is a versatile
solution that automates travel planning and expense reimbursement
processes making them quicker and more cost effective. The tool also
enables reporting analysis and direct integration with accountants,
banks and credit card companies, giving organisations greater control
over their business expenses and the ability to meet compliance
requirements. To find out more about the Basware TEM solution, visit
