REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 1999--

Concur Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNQR), a leading provider of workplace eCommerce solutions, announced today the formation of two new divisions to more effectively bring its workplace eCommerce solutions to a broad range of customers across the small, middle and large markets.

The company also announced that the board of directors has appointed Concur's chief executive officer, Steve Singh, to chairman of the board.

Effective immediately, Jon Matsuo has been promoted to president of the Large Market Division. Matsuo will concentrate on expanding the success of the Concur eWorkplace and Concur eWorkplace ASP business portals across the Global 4000 market.

"Jon and Bruce have been instrumental in building Concur into a global leader in the workplace eCommerce market. Both will play a pivotal role in Concur's future accomplishments."

Kela brings over a decade of experience to the position, most recently having served as general manager and vice president of the AutoCAD Division at Autodesk Inc., where he led the development of the industry leading, Web-enabled, CAD (computer aided design) software product, AutoCAD. Kela holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Rochester. He will report directly to Singh.

With Singh assuming the role of chairman, Michael Hilton, Concur co-founder, will focus on his pivotal role as chief technical officer.

"As we continue to expand the breadth of our workplace eCommerce solutions and our leadership position in this exciting and rapidly emerging market, I am very pleased to assume the added responsibilities of chairman of the board," stated Singh.
