Michael Baker International cuts reimbursement time 82% with Emburse

Michael Baker International, a provider of engineering and consulting services, faced significant challenges with its outdated, Oracle-based expense system. The clunky process led to low employee adoption, slow reimbursements averaging 25 days, and a severe lack of visibility that caused missed client billings and a messy financial close. To address this, they implemented Emburse Enterprise Expense and Emburse Analytics.

With Emburse, Michael Baker International streamlined its expense process, reducing reimbursement time by 82% to just 4.5 days and increasing corporate card adoption from 54% to nearly 87%. The visibility from Emburse Analytics allowed for a record-breakingly clean financial close and generated $30,000 in measurable savings and rebate revenue. The solution provided the timely, trustworthy data needed to improve decision-making and business operations.
