Concur Technologies is putting its new acquisition in the spotlight, announcing today that TripIt‘s travel logistics service will become the key mobile platform for Concur clients. Redmond-based Concur (NASDAQ: [[ticker:CNQR]]), whose software helps big companies track travel and other expenses, bought TripIt last month for up to $120 million.
