**Planned Changes** In-Product Messaging for EuropeFor quite some time, In-Product Messaging (IPM) within Concur products has been available for United States (US) customers.
The messaging that is presented to each US user is based on data provided by a well-known US-based "recommendation" engine. That engine, however, is not the best fit for the stricter laws in the European Union (EU). So, in an effort to comply with the EU laws, Concur developed its own recommendation engine for its In-Product Messaging System.
Early Access customers in the EU will be contacted by a Concur representative before enabling this feature. After 60 days, this feature could be enabled for all other customers in the EU. Also, since the new system will provide a better all-around IPM experience for Concur customers, US customers will soon use the new system, too.
Just like today for US users – the content, timing, location and frequency of a message are all defined by each message campaign and by the characteristics of each company and each user.
**Planned Changes** Terminology Changes – French (Canada)In the November release, Concur plans to change the following French Canadian term.
English Term | Current French (CA) Term | Updated French (CA) Term |
---|---|---|
expense report | note de frais | compte de frais |
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This change improves the accuracy and consistency of the French Canadian version of all Concur solutions.
