Unlock Business Intelligence with IDC's T&E Maturity Model

Travel and expense (T&E) management has long been a back-office task focused on bookings, reimbursements, receipts, and compliance. Too often, this data sits fragmented across card statements, reports, and spreadsheets, which leaves finance and travel teams with blind spots and missed opportunities.

This IDC Spotlight outlines a five-stage maturity model to transition from basic record keeping to a truly data-driven travel and expense function. With the right strategy and technology, scattered data becomes a unified asset that drives better decisions, strengthens compliance, and supports growth.
