The Japanese version, which according to Concur was "developed specifically to meet the demands of the increasing number of corporations in Japan that are turning to cloud computing and mobile solutions to help them control expenses," abides by "all Japanese regulations and taxation practices" and includes local consultation and operational support. Its "unique" features include integration with "FeliCa-compatible commercial IC card readers," enabling automatic uploads into expense reports of transportation data (schedules, stations and fare information) from such Japanese contactless smart cards as Suica, PASMO and ICOCA. The company
last year established Concur Japan as a joint venture with venture capital firm SunBridge Corp. and minority investor Marc Benioff, chairman of Salesforce.com.
