American Express Global Corporate Payments and Concur said they brought their global alliance to Japan,

the 15th market in which they promote each others products. Concur a year ago announced expansion to Japan with the formation of a joint venture with SunBridge Corp., and last month launched the Concur Expense spend management system in that market. As part of the relationship, joint clients receive reports detailing Amex card data and non-card data, “helping companies identify areas of spend that are outside of company policy," according to the companies.
