SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AppZen, the first artificial intelligence (AI) solution for back office automation, today announced the integration of its expense report audit tool, which uses AI to automate expense report auditing, with Concur®, the leading provider of spend management solutions and services.
