**Planned Changes** In-Product Messaging for Europe

For 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.

Legacy Expense Authorisation Request

**Planned Changes** Product Retirement (March 2018)

Concur plans to retire our legacy Expense Authorisation Request feature on 31 March 2018.

Concur offered this feature to some clients prior to the existence of the standalone Concur Request product. We now have feature parity as well as enhanced features and full support on the standalone Request product. Clients that wish to leverage a request capability within Concur should purchase and migrate to the Concur Request product.

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This retirement allows Concur to focus development resources on further enhancements to our standalone Concur Request product whose functionality, innovation and value now exceeds that of our legacy feature.

Terminology

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.
