Developers, Coders, SysAdmins, Site Reliability Engineers — no matter your title, we all have something in common: there are infinite possibilities of what can go wrong in the code, so learning from others mistakes is one of the best ways to increase our collective knowledge. 

If you were trying to get shit done on your expense reports around 3:30am UTC on the morning of Friday 16th June, then you would have noticed we had a site outage. We want to share the details of our Incident Response, not just to enhance our own learnings and behaviors for next time, but to spread that knowledge with our community as well.

Business travel has changed dramatically over the past few years. How often, where, and when people travel for work has been upended due to work-from-home opportunities and flexible schedules. Deloitte produced a travel study earlier this year which predicted, “full recovery to 2019 spend volume appears likely by late 2024 or early 2025, adjusting for lost growth and inflation indicates that in real terms, corporate travel will likely be smaller than it was prior to the pandemic.”

As companies adjust to this new normal and possibly look to ramp up employee travel in the near future, they need innovative solutions for controlling their employee’s travel spend. Luckily, Expensify customers can look to the Expensify Card to simplify the entire process of managing spend and receipts before, during, and after a trip. Let’s take a look at all the ways the Expensify Card can assist your team during their next business trip.
