<H1>Expense Management Through Lotus Notes</H1>
<P>Greetings! I am Boris Beancounter, Bizco's accountant. I'd like to tell you about a Lotus Notes expense reporting solution that really made the difference for myself and the other Bizco staff, the Tracker Suite<SUP>®</SUP> Expense Tracker<SUP>TM</SUP></P>
<P>Our Bizco staff, particularly Joe User and Sally Sales, often find themselves working for clients at remote locations. For them, keepinging track of all expenses for travel, lodging, food, or project materials, then importing them when they returned to the office was a major pain. With Expense Tracker, they can submit reports through any Notes client or over the Web! Expense Tracker supports foreign currency conversion, so even if their on assignment outside of the United States, when I review their expenses for processing I know I'm looking at accurate figures.</P>

<P>Expense Tracker's streamlining of the expense report process extends beyond submission, though. I enjoy its secure, automatic expense report routing based on predetermined roles, approval cycles, and sending limits set in Personnel Tracker<SUP>TM</SUP>. Also, Expense Tracker automatically imports current billing information from Customer Tracker<SUP>TM</SUP>. This automation improves our billing cycle by drastically reducing addressing errors and missbillings, saving Victor and myself from angry customers and a lot of headaches!</P>
<P>So as you can see, Expense Tracker really streamlines the entire expense report process. Some of the features we really enjoy here at Bizco are:</P>
<UL CLASS = "listred">
<LI>I can create and submit an expense report by myself, or someone with the appropriate security (i.e. my supervisor Mark, or our IT Director, Carlos) can create one for me.
<LI>Mark and Boris both like how Expense Tracker monitors and records all editing of reports, including their authoring, creation, and modification with electronic signatures. This security ensures reporting accuracy and gives them some peace of mind!
