PROXY STATEMENT

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Concur Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for use at Concur’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held at the Harbor Club, 777 108th Avenue Northeast, Bellevue, Washington, at 11:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, March 14, 2012, and at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. Concur’s mailing address is 18400 N.E. Union Hill Road, Redmond, Washington 98052.

This proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual meeting, proxy card, and our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K are first being sent to stockholders on or about January 30, 2012. Stockholders are encouraged to review this information, which is also posted on the investor relations page of our website atwww.concur.com.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Voting

Shares of Concur’s common stock are the only shares entitled to vote at the meeting. On January 18, 2012, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, there were 54,148,233 shares of Concur common stock outstanding. Each stockholder of record on the record date is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such stockholder on that date. A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock must be present or represented at the meeting in order to have a quorum for the conduct of business. Votes cast at the meeting, by proxy or in person, will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting.

With respect to Proposal 1, nominees for election to the Board of Directors who receive the highest number of affirmative votes at the meeting will be elected to fill the open seats. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present at the meeting and voted for or against the proposal is necessary for approval of Proposal 2 (ratification of selection of auditor) and Proposal 3 (advisory vote on executive compensation).

If shares are present at the meeting in person or by proxy, but are not voted, those shares will count toward determining whether or not a quorum is present for the conduct of business at the meeting, as will all shares voted “for”, “against”, or “abstain” on a proposal. Shares not voted, and abstentions, will have no effect on the outcome of any proposal.

If the beneficial owner of shares that are held of record by a broker does not instruct the broker how to vote the shares, the broker has authority under applicable stock market rules to vote those shares for or against “routine” matters, such as the proposal regarding ratification of auditors (Proposal 2). Where a matter is not considered routine, such as the election of directors (Proposal 1) and the advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal 3), the shares held by the broker will not be voted absent specific instruction from the beneficial holder, and will not affect the outcome of the proposal.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders To Be Held on March 14, 2012.

The proxy statement and annual report to security holders are available at www.proxyvote.com.Stockholders may access this proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual meeting and annual information, a voting proxy, and our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K at www.proxyvote.com.

Voting Electronically via the Internet or Telephone

In addition to voting in person or by returning the enclosed proxy card, stockholders whose shares are registered directly with Wells Fargo Shareowner Services may vote their shares either through the Internet or by calling Wells Fargo Shareowner Services. Specific instructions to be followed by any such registered stockholder interested in voting over the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the accompanying proxy card. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholder identity, allow stockholders to vote their shares, and confirm that their voting instructions have been properly recorded.

If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or brokerage, you may also be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. Many banks and brokerage firms participate in the Broadridge Investor Communication Services online program, which provides eligible stockholders who receive a paper copy of the proxy statement and related proxy materials the opportunity to vote via the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm participates in this Broadridge program, your bank or brokerage firm will provide a voting form with specific instructions for voting your shares. If your voting form does not reference Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the paper proxy card in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.

Proxies

Whether or not you are able to attend the meeting, we urge you to complete, sign and date, and promptly return the accompanying proxy card so that your shares will be represented at the meeting. If you do not specify otherwise on your signed proxy card, your shares will be voted FOR the director nominees identified in Proposal 1, FOR Proposal 2, and FOR Proposal 3, and to grant the proxy holders discretion to vote for or against other matters that may properly come before the meeting (including any adjournment to the meeting to another place and time). You may revoke your proxy or change your proxy instructions at any time before the meeting. To do this, send a written notice of revocation, or another signed proxy card with a later date, to Concur, to the attention of Corporate Secretary, 18400 N.E. Union Hill Road, Redmond, Washington 98052. To be effective, your written notice of revocation or newly signed proxy card must be received by Concur prior to the beginning of the meeting. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Please note, however, that if you wish to vote at the meeting and your shares are held of record by a broker, bank, or other nominee, you must bring to the meeting a letter from the broker, bank, or other nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and that such broker, bank, or other nominee is not voting your shares.

Solicitation of Proxies

Concur will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this proxy statement, the notice of proxy, the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any additional solicitation materials furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries, and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others, so that they may forward those solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. Officers and employees of Concur may, without being additionally compensated, solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile, or personal contact. Concur will pay all proxy-soliciting expenses in connection with the solicitation of votes for the meeting.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

Concur’s Board of Directors consists of seven members, three of whom are to be elected at the 2012 annual meeting. Board members are divided into Class I, Class II, and Class III directors, who serve staggered three-year terms. Each director serves for a term ending at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting at which he was elected, except that any director appointed by the Board serves for a term ending at the annual meeting of stockholders for the class to which the director was appointed. Each director serves until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal. All Concur directors are invited to attend the 2012 annual meeting in person. Six members of the Board attended our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.

The identity and background of nominees for director and continuing members of the Board is provided below. The proxy holders intend to vote all proxies they receive in the accompanying form for the nominees listed below unless instructed otherwise. If any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director at the time of the meeting, proxies will be voted for any nominee who may be designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. The Board of Directors approved the nomination of the nominees reflected in this Proposal 1. Each nominee for director has consented to serve if elected by the stockholders. The nominees receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected as Class I members of the Board of Directors. Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors.

4

Corporate Governance

Concur is committed to excellence in corporate governance and maintains clear policies and practices that promote good corporate governance. Many of these policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with the listing requirements of NASDAQ and applicable corporate governance requirements, including:

• a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are independent directors;

• the Board of Directors has appointed a Lead Independent Director;

• the independent members of the Board of Directors meet regularly without the presence of management;

• all members of the key committees of the Board of Directors—the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee—are independent;

• the charters of each committee of the Board of Directors clearly establish the committees’ respective roles and responsibilities;

• Concur has an anonymous compliance reporting system available to all employees, and the Audit Committee has procedures in place for the anonymous submission of employee complaints on accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and

• Concur has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all directors, officers and employees of Concur.

Key information regarding Concur’s corporate governance initiatives, including Concur’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the charter for each committee of the Board of Directors, is posted on our Internet website atwww.concur.com.

Board Leadership Structure

Steven S. Singh has served as a member of our Board of Directors since 1993, as our Chief Executive Officer since 1996, and as Chairman of the Board since 1999. In light of Mr. Singh’s knowledge of Concur and our industry, and his experience successfully navigating Concur through many successes and challenges, we believe it is appropriate for him to have the principal leadership position on both the executive management team and the Board of Directors. We have no policy mandating whether the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be combined or separated. In fiscal 2010, we supplemented our Board leadership structure by creating the position of Lead Independent Director and appointing Randall Talbot to that position. Our objective in creating this position was to provide formal support to Mr. Singh in his management of Board affairs, and to acknowledge general investor interest in a greater role of independent directors in the leadership of the Board of Directors.

Our Lead Independent Director, Mr. Talbot, has the following roles and responsibilities:

• serving as a liaison between the Chairman of the Board and the Board’s independent directors;

• presiding over all Board meetings when the Chairman of the Board is not present;

• presiding over all executive sessions of the Board’s independent directors;

• convening and presiding over any meetings of the Board’s independent directors that may be necessary from time to time;

5

• coordinating feedback to the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Board’s independent directors regarding business issues and management;

• consulting with the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer with respect to agendas for Board meetings and information needs associated with such meetings;

• serving as a designated spokesperson for the Board when the Board or the Board’s independent directors determine it would be appropriate for the Lead Independent Director to comment publicly on any matter;

• being available for consultation and communication with the Company’s stockholders when the Board or the Board’s independent directors determine it would be appropriate for the Lead Independent Director to do so; and

• performing such other duties as may be necessary for the Lead Independent Director to fulfill these responsibilities, or as may be requested by the Board, the Board’s independent directors, or the Chairman of the Board.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Risk is inherent in business, particularly for technology companies pursuing long-term growth opportunities. Our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management activities in the business. The Board of Directors, acting directly and through its committees, is responsible for oversight of Concur’s risk management. With the oversight of the Board of Directors, Concur has implemented practices and programs designed to help manage the risks to which we are exposed in our business and to align risk-taking appropriately with our efforts to increase shareholder value.

The Board’s risk oversight areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

• management and Board succession planning;

• assessment of strategic risk and major operational risks, including acquisitions and evaluation of our capital structure; and

• legal and regulatory compliance.

The Board conducts its risk oversight both directly and through its committees. The Board’s oversight of risks occurs as an integral and continuous part of its oversight of the business of Concur generally. In addition, the Audit Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing risks associated with our financial statements and financial reporting, credit and liquidity, and legal and regulatory compliance. The Audit Committee receives updates and discusses individual and overall risk areas during its meetings, including financial risk assessments, risk management policies and major financial risk exposures, and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures. The Compensation Committee considers the risks associated with our compensation policies and practices, with respect to both executive compensation and employee compensation generally. The Compensation Committee receives reports and discusses whether our compensation policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks associated with our governance practices, director succession and the leadership structure of the Board.

The Board is kept abreast of its committees’ risk oversight and other activities through reports of the committee chairmen during Board meetings, and through the attendance of committee meetings by Board members who are not necessarily members of the particular committee.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

The Board of Directors held eight meetings during fiscal 2011. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees on which each such director served. The Board determined that each of directors Eubanks, McCabe, Seely and Talbot is an independent director as defined in the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Board of Directors has three standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a charter governing the duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee, which is posted on our Internet website atwww.concur.com. The principal functions of the Audit Committee are:

• overseeing the integrity of Concur’s financial statements and its compliance with related legal and regulatory requirements;

• monitoring the adequacy of Concur’s accounting and financial reporting, and its internal controls and processes for financial reporting;

• overseeing Concur’s relationship with its independent auditors, including appointing, evaluating, and setting the compensation of the independent auditors; and

• facilitating communication among the independent auditors, Concur’s management, and the Board of Directors.

Directors Eubanks, McCabe, and Seely are the members of the Audit Committee. Each member of the committee meets the independence and other requirements to serve on our Audit Committee under applicable securities laws and the rules of the SEC and listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Seely is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee met nine times during fiscal 2011. The report of the Audit Committee is provided below.

Compensation Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a charter governing the duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, which is posted on our Internet website atwww.concur.com. The principal functions of the Compensation Committee are:

• reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding all forms of salary, bonus, and stock compensation provided to executive officers of Concur, the long-term strategy for employee compensation, the types of stock and other compensation plans to be used by Concur and the shares and amounts reserved thereunder;

• overseeing the overall administration of Concur’s equity-based compensation and stock option plans; and

• addressing such other compensation matters as may from time to time be directed by the Board of Directors.

Directors Eubanks, McCabe, and Talbot are the members of the Compensation Committee. Each member of the committee meets the independence and other requirements to serve on our Compensation Committee under applicable securities laws and the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

7

Each member of this committee is an “outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more subcommittees, or our Chief Executive Officer, the authority to determine compensation to be paid to persons who are not executive officers. The Compensation Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to grant restricted stock units and stock options to our employees who are not members of the Board of Directors or executive officers, provided that no such restricted stock units or stock options exceed any limit established by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met four times during fiscal 2011. The report of the Compensation Committee appears below. For a description of the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedure for consideration and determination of executive officer compensation, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a charter governing the duties and responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is posted on our Internet website at www.concur.com. The principal functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are:

• assisting the Board of Directors in identifying, evaluating, and nominating candidates to serve as members of the Board of Directors;

• recommending to the Board of Directors the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders;

• reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the composition and operations of the Board; and

• reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding corporate governance policies and ethical conduct.

Directors Eubanks, McCabe, and Seely are the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each member of the committee meets the independence and other requirements to serve on our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under applicable securities laws and the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met three times during fiscal 2011.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally identifies potential nominees based upon suggestions by our outside directors, members of management, or stockholders, and then evaluates the candidates based upon various factors, including:

• integrity;

• high level of education and/or business experience;

• broad-based business acumen;

• understanding of our business and industry;

• strategic thinking and willingness to share ideas, network of contacts, and diversity of experience;

• expertise; and

• background.

The committee uses these and other criteria to evaluate potential nominees. The committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying and evaluating potential nominees, but the Board of Directors and the committee believe that the Board of Directors should include a diversity of

8

experience and perspective on business opportunities and challenges. The committee does not evaluate proposed nominees differently depending upon who has proposed the nominee. To date, we have not paid any third-party fees to assist in this process.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding, any stockholder recommendations for candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. However, it has not adopted a formal process for that consideration because it believes that the informal consideration process has been adequate given the historical absence of those proposals. The committee will review periodically whether a more formal policy should be adopted. If a stockholder wishes to suggest a candidate for committee consideration, the stockholder should send the name of the recommended candidate for director, together with pertinent biographical information, a document indicating the candidate’s willingness to serve if elected, and evidence of the nominating stockholder’s ownership of Concur stock, to the attention of Corporate Secretary, 18400 N.E. Union Hill Road, Redmond, Washington 98052 at least six months prior to the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to ensure time for meaningful consideration by the committee. For additional nominating requirements, please see “Stockholder Proposals for 2013 Annual Meeting” below. To date, we have not had any candidates submitted by any stockholders for the upcoming annual meeting.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is, or at any time was, an officer or employee of Concur or any of its subsidiaries, and none had any related-person transaction or relationship with Concur.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

General

The Audit Committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. The Audit Committee requests that the stockholders ratify its selection of Grant Thornton to serve as Concur’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2012. Although stockholder ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we are requesting such ratification because we believe it is good corporate practice to do so. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for the stockholders’ rejection and the Audit Committee will reconsider, but might not change, its appointment. However, even if the stockholders ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton, the Audit Committee may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it concludes that doing so would be in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders. We expect that one or more representatives of Grant Thornton will be present at the annual meeting, will be able to make a statement if they wish to do so, and will be able to respond to appropriate questions.

Independent Auditor’s Services and Fees

During Concur’s 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, Grant Thornton served as Concur’s independent auditor. The following table presents fees for services rendered by Grant Thornton during those fiscal years:

Type of Fees	Fee Amounts Fiscal Year 2010		Fee Amounts Fiscal Year 2011
Audit Fees	$	607,574	$	568,172
Audit-Related Fees		173,139		239,996
Tax Fees		44,853		64,936
All Other Fees		—		—
Total	$	825,566	$	873,104

Audit Fees for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 consist of fees paid to Grant Thornton for: (i) the audit of Concur’s annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and review of financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q; (ii) the audit of Concur’s internal control over financial reporting with the objective of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects; and (iii) services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees consist of fees for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of Concur’s financial statements and are not reported underAudit Fees. This category includes fees related to audit and attest services not required by statute or regulations, due diligence related to mergers, acquisitions and investments, and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

Tax Fees consist of fees for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and international tax compliance, tax return preparation, and tax audits.

All such services rendered by the independent auditor are permissible under applicable laws and regulations, and were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the Audit Committee pre-approval policy described below. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of these services was compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

11

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

All audit and non-audit services to be performed for Concur by its independent auditor must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, or a designated member of the Audit Committee, to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee has delegated interim pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Any interim pre-approval of services is required to be reported to the Audit Committee at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The engagement terms and fees for annual audit services are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions, and fees resulting from changes in audit scope or other matters. All other audit services not otherwise included in the annual audit services engagement must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit-related services are services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of Concur’s financial statements or traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Examples of audit-related services include employee benefit and compensation plan audits, due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, attestations by the auditor that are not required by statute or regulation, and consulting on financial accounting/reporting standards. All audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee may grant pre-approval of other services that are permissible under applicable laws and regulations and that would not impair the independence of the auditor. All of such permissible services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Requests or applications for the independent auditor to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee are considered after consultation with management and the auditors. Questions about whether the scope of a proposed service requires specific pre-approval, or is permitted by applicable laws and regulations, are to be referred to the Concur legal department.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board of Directors recommends a voteFOR the ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton as Concur’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2012.

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

General

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enables stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of Concur’s executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules. This vote, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” vote, provides stockholders with the opportunity to express their views on our executive officers’ compensation. The vote is not intended to address any specific item of our executive compensation, but rather the overall compensation of Concur’s executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.

As described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and motivate talented individuals with the executive experience and leadership skills necessary for us to increase stockholder value by driving long-term growth in revenue and profitability. We seek to provide executive compensation that is competitive with companies that are similar to Concur. We also seek to provide near-term and long-term financial incentives that reward well-performing executives when strategic corporate objectives designed to increase long-term stockholder value are achieved. We believe that executive compensation should include base salary, cash incentives and equity awards. We also believe that our executive officers’ base salaries should be set at approximately median levels relative to comparable companies, and cash and equity incentives should generally be set at levels that give executives the opportunity to achieve above-average total compensation reflecting above-average company performance. In particular, our executive compensation philosophy is to promote long-term value creation for our stockholders by rewarding improvement in selected financial metrics, and by using equity incentives. Please see our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement and related compensation tables for detailed information about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal 2011 compensation of our executive officers.

Text of Resolution

“RESOLVED, that Concur’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the executive officers, as disclosed in Concur’s proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2011 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on Concur, our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board of Directors recommends a voteFOR the approval of the compensation of each executive officer, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the executive compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the annual meeting. However, if other matters do properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Board of Directors intends that the persons named in the proxies will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information about the material components of our executive compensation program for:

• S. Steven Singh, our Chief Executive Officer;

• Francis J. Pelzer V, our Chief Financial Officer;

• Rajeev Singh, our President and Chief Operating Officer;

• John Torrey, our Executive Vice President, Corporate Development; and

• Robert Cavanaugh, our Executive Vice President and General Manager, Americas.

Throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the related compensation tables that follow, we refer to these executives collectively as our named executive officers.

In this section we provide an overview of our executive compensation philosophy, the overall objectives of our executive compensation program, and each compensation component that we provide. We also explain how the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors arrived at specific compensation policies and decisions involving our named executive officers during 2011. This discussion is intended to provide the context necessary to understand the compensation of these named executive officers, which is detailed in the tables and narratives that follow.

Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

We operate in a competitive business environment that is constantly reshaped by technological advances, evolving market requirements and emerging competitors. To thrive in this environment, we must continue to establish cloud computing as a long-term service delivery and business model, develop new services and technologies, identify and implement effective business strategies, and demonstrate an ability to capitalize on new business opportunities. To do so, we need to have a highly talented and seasoned leadership team of technical and business professionals. We compete with many other companies in seeking to attract and retain a skilled management team. To meet this challenge, we have employed a compensation philosophy of offering our executives competitive compensation packages that are focused on long-term value creation and rewarding them for achieving our financial and strategic objectives.

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and motivate talented individuals with the executive experience and leadership skills necessary for us to increase stockholder value by driving long-term growth in revenue and profitability. We seek to provide executive compensation that is competitive with companies that are similar to Concur. We also seek to provide near-term and long-term financial incentives that reward well-performing executives when strategic corporate objectives designed to increase long-term stockholder value are achieved. We believe that executive compensation should include base salary, cash incentives and equity awards. We also believe that our executive officers’ base salaries should be set at approximately median levels relative to comparable companies, and cash and equity incentives should generally be set at levels that give executives the opportunity to achieve above-average total compensation reflecting above-average company performance. In particular, our executive compensation philosophy is to promote consistent long-term value creation for our stockholders by rewarding long-term growth in selected financial metrics, along with equity incentives. In fiscal 2011, more than 90% of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, and 85% of the compensation of our other named executive officers, consisted of performance-based cash and equity incentives.

18

Process for Determining Executive and Director Compensation

Our Compensation Committee oversees our executive officer compensation program, and designs, approves and recommends to the Board for approval by the independent members of the Board, all compensation of our executive officers, including the form and amount of executives’ salary, bonus, and equity-based compensation. It also oversees the administration of our equity-based and cash-based incentive plans, and addresses other compensation matters as the Board may direct from time to time. In determining the form and amount of salary, bonus, and equity-based compensation for executives, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation data for comparable companies and assesses the historical performance and prospects of those companies relative to Concur’s performance and prospects. The Compensation Committee’s charter allows the committee to delegate to one or more committee members, and to our Chief Executive Officer, the authority to determine compensation of employees other than executive officers. In making its determinations about fiscal 2011 executive compensation, neither the Compensation Committee nor Concur engaged the services of a compensation consultant.

In the first quarter of the fiscal year, our Chief Executive Officer reviews peer group compensation data and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee on the compensation plans, objectives, and levels for the named executive officers other than himself. He provides the Compensation Committee with his assessment of each named executive officer’s performance during the preceding year generally, and with specific reference to the objectives previously established by the Compensation Committee and the Board. The Compensation Committee considers the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations and discusses the recommendations independent of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also considers and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer outside of his presence. The Compensation Committee then approves, and recommends to the Board for approval by the independent members of the Board, the base salaries, incentive cash amounts (and performance targets), and equity awards for executive officers for that fiscal year. After the end of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews actual results relative to the performance objectives for that fiscal year and approves, and recommends to the Board for approval by the independent members of the Board, regarding the achievement of those objectives and payout of related incentive cash awards.

Our Compensation Committee also oversees our non-employee director compensation program, and recommends to the Board for approval the form and amount of director compensation. The Board makes the decisions regarding all compensation of our non-employee directors, based on Compensation Committee recommendations. In determining the form and amount of compensation for directors, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation data for comparable companies and assesses the historical performance and prospects of those companies relative to Concur’s performance and prospects.

Say-on-Pay and Say-on-Frequency Results

The Compensation Committee considered the result of the 2011 stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. Because a substantial majority (92.7%) of our stockholders approved the compensation programs described in our proxy statement for the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, the Compensation Committee decided that it was not necessary to implement changes to our compensation programs as a result of the stockholder advisory vote.

In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board decided that Concur will hold an advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers at each annual meeting of stockholders. Stockholder votes on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation must be held at least once every six years, so we currently expect the next stockholder vote on frequency to occur at Concur’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

19

Our Executive Compensation Peer Group

In determining the components of executive compensation and the amounts of salary, bonus, and equity-based compensation for executives, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation data for selected comparable companies and assesses the historical performance and prospects of those companies relative to Concur’s performance and prospects.

For fiscal 2011 the Compensation Committee established a peer group for executive compensation purposes, consisting of publicly traded software companies and selected software-as-a-service companies. Software companies with annual revenues in the range of $250 million to $550 million were included in the group, except for those that had been acquired since the date of their last proxy statement. Our Chief Executive Officer and other members of management provided input on the selection of peer group companies, and the Compensation Committee made the final determination of which companies to include. Executive compensation information for the peer group companies was compiled by management from proxy statements and other public filings.

The fiscal 2011 peer group included the following 24 companies:

• ACI Worldwide, Inc.

• Advent Software Inc.

• Ariba, Inc.

• Athenahealth, Inc.

• Blackbaud, Inc.

• Blackboard Inc.

• Blue Coat Systems, Inc.

• Commvault Systems Inc.

• DealerTrack Holdings, Inc.

• Deltek, Inc.

• Dynamic Research Corporation

• Electronics For Imaging, Inc.

• Epiq Systems, Inc.

• Kenexa Corporation

• Manhattan Associates, Inc.

• MicroStrategy Incorporated

• NetSuite Inc.

• Radiant Systems Inc.

• RealPage, Inc.

• S1 Corporation

• SuccessFactors, Inc.

• Taleo Corporation

• Ultimate Software Group, Inc.

• WebSense, Inc.

20

For fiscal 2011, the goal of the Compensation Committee and the Board was to provide executive officer compensation generally in alignment with similar positions at comparable companies. The Compensation Committee and the Board also noted that Concur’s financial performance for the prior fiscal year, and its expected performance for fiscal 2011, were significantly better than the performance of the peer group companies. In order to encourage above-average corporate financial performance, the Compensation Committee and the Board chose to emphasize executive compensation weighted toward incentive compensation.

Components of Our Executive Compensation Program

The key elements of our named executive officer compensation program for fiscal 2011 were:

• base salary;

• cash incentive; and

• equity incentive.

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that these elements, which Concur has used for many years and are common in the technology industry, are appropriate components of our executive compensation program.

Generally, the Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the following components of executive compensation should be set at the following approximate percentiles for comparable positions at peer group companies:

Component	Percentile
Base salary		50	th
Total cash compensation (base salary and cash incentive)		75	th
Total compensation (base salary, cash incentive and equity incentive)		90	th

The Compensation Committee and the Board set the ranges for 2011 incentive compensation significantly higher than the median among the peer group in recognition of the fact that Concur out-performed its peer group companies in fiscal 2010 and was expected to do so again in fiscal 2011, and performance of this nature should result in above-average total compensation for our executives. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board also recognized that individual circumstances require adjustment of one or more components of compensation for individual executives to reflect individual prior-year performance or to accommodate positions for which peer roles were difficult to establish.

Base Salaries

Base salaries are used to compensate our executive officers for serving as the senior members of our management team, regardless of stockholder returns or our performance relative to our financial objectives. Salaries also serve an important retention function.

In determining appropriate base salaries for executives in fiscal 2011, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered the peer group 50^th percentile data and made subjective assessments of each executive officer’s position, experience, responsibilities, performance and work location. As a result of these considerations, the Compensation Committee and the Board set annual base salaries for our named executive officers that were at approximately the 50^th percentile of comparable company data for our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer.

21

Annual Cash Incentives

Annual cash incentives are intended to motivate our executives to achieve pre-established corporate financial or operational goals that we expect to increase long-term stockholder value. Whether a named executive officer receives a bonus under these arrangements, and the amount of that bonus, depends primarily on our performance relative to company-wide financial objectives. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that company-wide incentives foster teamwork among senior management and throughout the company, and that consistently achieving better-than-expected financial results increases stockholder value and should be reflected in superior executive compensation. Under the company-wide annual cash incentive plan, if we achieve results that are below the target level, then our executives receive proportionately lower bonuses, while results above the target level result in larger bonuses (up to double the target bonus amount).

In determining the target annual cash bonus for each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered the comparable data for annual cash incentives (target and actual) from the peer group companies. For fiscal 2011, the Compensation Committee and the Board targeted total cash compensation (including base salary and cash incentive compensation) at approximately the 75^thpercentile of the peer group data. The Compensation Committee and the Board considered the position, experience, responsibilities, other compensation, and performance of each executive officer, together with the peer group compensation data, based on the recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer. As a result, the on-target total cash compensation of our named executive officers was approximately the 75^th percentile for four of our named executives, including Mr. Steven Singh; Mr. Cavanaugh’s target total cash compensation was set at approximately the 50^th percentile of peer group data. In addition, the targeted annual cash incentives for our named executive officers (at 100% of target) was approximately 120% of base salary for Mr. Steven Singh, 122% of base salary for Mr. Rajeev Singh, 100% of base salary for Mr. Pelzer, 85% of base salary for Mr. Torrey, and 65% of base salary for Mr. Cavanaugh.

Based on recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee and the Board selected fiscal 2011 non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share as the metric that would determine annual cash bonuses for the named executive officers for fiscal 2011. The Compensation Committee and the Board selected this metric to link bonuses to a broad measure of our overall financial performance for the year. Executives could earn 100% of their target cash bonuses only if the target non-GAAP pre-tax earnings objective was achieved. Executives could earn higher bonuses if the target objective was exceeded, up to a maximum cash bonus for each named executive officer equal to double his target cash bonus, and proportionately lower bonuses if the target objective was not achieved. In alignment with Concur’s business outlook for fiscal 2011, the Board set $1.34 non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share as a level at which the target bonus would be earned, subject to certain adjustments, and it set a level (140% of the target objective, as adjusted) at which the maximum bonus could be earned. Ultimately we achieved non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share of $1.35, which was approximately 101% of target, taking into consideration certain adjustments as approved by the Board, resulting in our named executive officers earning approximately 100% of their target cash bonus amounts for fiscal 2011.

Equity Incentives

Equity incentive compensation is intended primarily to motivate our executives to pursue strategies that increase stockholder value over the long term, and secondarily to help retain executives. In fiscal 2011, our equity incentive took the form of grants of restricted stock units under our stockholder-approved 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Through fiscal 2006, we used stock options as our primary form of equity incentive. Equity awards generally vest over four years, which the Compensation Committee and the Board believe encourages retention of key leadership while aligning their interests with the interest of stockholders with respect to business growth and stock price appreciation.

In determining equity awards for each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee and the Board consider the equity compensation practices of the peer group companies, including stock dilution, and the equity compensation for comparable positions among the peer group companies. For fiscal 2011, the Compensation

22

Committee and the Board determined that total compensation (including base salary, cash incentive compensation and equity compensation) should generally be approximately the 90^th percentile of total compensation value among our peer group companies.

While the Compensation Committee reviews the realized or unrealized value of prior equity awards, it determines the annual target economic value of equity awards with reference to our peer group benchmark. The Compensation Committee believes that annual equity awards effectively create strong incentives to drive future stockholder return.

Restricted Stock Units.We grant restricted stock units to link executive officer compensation directly to the value of our common stock, to encourage increasing stockholder value over the long term, and to promote executive officer retention. Our restricted stock units are subject to performance-based vesting as well as time-based vesting. Restricted stock units that are subject to time-based vesting generally vest in four equal annual installments on the anniversary of the grant date, when the executive receives shares with value equivalent to the value of our shares on that date, net of tax withholding. Restricted stock units reward the executive to the extent of the full value of the shares, so the executive earns more compensation if our stock price increases, while being assured of some compensation if our stock price stays steady or declines over the period of the award, which helps retain executive officers during times when our stock price declines.

In determining the size of restricted stock unit awards to named executive officers, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered the current value of our common stock, stock dilution, equity compensation practices of the peer group companies, and other forms of equity-based incentive compensation (such as stock options). The Compensation Committee and the Board assessed our executive officers’ outstanding equity awards relative to the peer group data, and considered the dilutive impact of equity awards. After these considerations, in fiscal 2011 the Compensation Committee and the Board granted the named executive officers an aggregate of 271,000 restricted stock units, or approximately 0.50% of our total shares outstanding. The total compensation for our named executive officers in fiscal 2011 was in the range of approximately the 90^th percentile of peer group total compensation for each of our named executive officers.

Stock Options.Prior to fiscal 2007, we awarded stock options to executives in order to link named executive officer compensation to increases in the price of our common stock, which reflects increased stockholder value. All stock options to executive officers were granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of our stock on the grant date, and typically vest over four years. Stock options therefore compensate our executive officers only if our stock price increases after the date of grant and the executive officer remains employed for the period required for the stock option to become exercisable. The Board considers stock options an effective incentive tool because they motivate named executive officers to increase stockholder value. However, beginning in fiscal 2007, the Board determined that restricted stock unit awards were preferable because they cause less dilution to stockholders as fewer shares would be issued upon settlement of a restricted stock unit award than upon exercise of a stock option of equivalent value. The Board did not grant any stock options to named executive officers in fiscal 2011.

Severance and Change-in-Control Agreements

We have no “change-in-control” agreements with our named executive officers that would entitle them to severance benefits in the event of a change-in-control of Concur, such as a tender offer or merger resulting in Concur being acquired by another company.

Beginning in fiscal 2008, our grants of restricted stock units to named executive officers provide that all covered unvested shares automatically vest in the event of a change-in-control of Concur (often referred to as “single-trigger” acceleration). Historically, our restricted stock units and stock options held by named executive officers generally provided that vesting under the award would only accelerate if within 12 months after a change-in-control the employee’s employment with the successor entity is terminated without cause, or the

23

successor entity effects a material adverse change in the employee’s responsibilities, or the successor entity reduces the employee’s base salary (often referred to as “double-trigger” acceleration). Under these agreements, the term “cause” generally means willfully engaging in gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to Concur, a willful act of dishonesty intended to result in substantial gain or personal enrichment at the expense of Concur, or a willful and continued failure to substantially perform duties for Concur or its successor after we (or our successor or the surviving entity) deliver a written demand for substantial performance to the officer provided that this demand specifically identifies how we (or our successor or the surviving entity) believe that the officer has not substantially performed his duties.

The Compensation Committee and Board made this change because they believe that retention of our executive officers is particularly important if there is a prospect of a change-in-control. The Compensation Committee and Board therefore determined, beginning in fiscal 2008, to include such single-trigger acceleration of vesting provisions in restricted stock unit awards for named executive officers, to encourage them to remain with Concur with minimal distraction over how a change-in-control might affect them personally. The same single-trigger acceleration is generally provided for in restricted stock units for other employees as well, beginning in fiscal 2008.

Equity Award Procedures

All restricted stock units and stock options are approved by our Compensation Committee and the independent members of our Board, but the Compensation Committee and the Board have delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make equity awards to employees who are not executive officers, within certain limitations on aggregate grants and specific award terms. Stock options approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board are required to be granted not earlier than the date of approval, and at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Except in the case of a promoted or new executive officer, equity awards to executive officers are typically approved annually when annual grants are made to other key employees.

Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits to $1,000,000 the amount of compensation for certain highly compensated officers that we may deduct for federal income tax purposes in any one year. The Compensation Committee and Board determined not to limit our executive compensation to amounts that are deductible under Section 162(m). However, in fiscal 2011, the Compensation Committee granted annual cash-based incentive awards and performance-based restricted stock units that were intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) and therefore exempt from the deduction limit.

Compensation Risk Assessment

In establishing and reviewing our overall compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers whether the program and its various elements encourage or motivate executives or other employees to take inappropriate risks, or introduce excessive business risk. At the direction of the Compensation Committee, we reviewed our compensation practices and policies and our findings were presented to the Compensation Committee for consideration. After consideration of the information presented, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation programs, including our executive compensation program, do not encourage excessive risk taking by our executives or other employees. As a result, we concluded that our employee compensation program does not create risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Concur.

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits

Our equity plans provide that the vesting of equity awards for all employees accelerate in the event the equity awards are not assumed, continued or substituted by the surviving or acquiring company following specified corporate transactions, including a sale or other disposition of more than 50% of our outstanding securities, a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation after which we are not the surviving corporation, or a merger or consolidation after which we are the surviving corporation, but our outstanding shares are converted into other property.

Since fiscal 2008, our grants of restricted stock units to named executive officers provide that all covered unvested shares automatically become vested in the event of a change-in-control of Concur (often referred to as “single-trigger” acceleration). Historically, our restricted stock units and stock options held by named executive officers generally provided that vesting under the award would only accelerate if within 12 months after a change-in-control the employee’s employment with the successor entity is terminated without cause, or the successor entity effects a material adverse change in the employee’s responsibilities, or the successor entity reduces the employee’s base salary (often referred to as “double-trigger” acceleration). Under these agreements, the term “cause” generally means willfully engaging in gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to Concur, a willful act of dishonesty intended to result in substantial gain or personal enrichment at the expense of Concur, or a willful and continued failure to substantially perform duties for Concur or its successor after we (or our successor or the surviving entity) deliver a written demand for substantial performance to the executive officer provided that this demand specifically identifies how we (or our successor or the surviving entity) believe that the executive officer has not substantially performed his duties.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for review, approval, or ratification of “related-person transactions” between Concur or its subsidiaries and related persons. Under SEC rules, a related person is a director, officer, nominee for director, or 5% stockholder of the company since the beginning of the last fiscal year, and the immediate family members of these persons. Concur has adopted procedures that apply to any transaction or series of transactions in which Concur or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. Potential transactions involving related persons are reviewed by Concur’s disclosure controls committee. The disclosure controls committee considers whether a transaction may constitute a “related-person transaction” and, if so, any such transaction is forwarded to the Audit Committee for review. The Audit Committee determines whether any such transaction constitutes a “related-person transaction” and may approve, ratify, rescind, or take other action with respect to the transaction in its discretion. There were no “related person transactions” identified in fiscal 2011.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under the securities laws of the United States, Concur’s directors and officers, and any persons who own more than 10% of Concur’s common stock, are required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Specific due dates have been established by the SEC, and Concur is required to disclose in this proxy statement any failure to file by those dates. Based solely upon its review of the copies of such reports for fiscal 2011 as furnished to Concur and written representations from Concur’s directors and officers, Concur believes that all directors, officers, and greater-than-10% beneficial owners have made all required Section 16(a) filings on a timely basis for such fiscal year.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all directors, officers, and employees of Concur, as required by applicable securities laws and the rules of the SEC and listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our Internet website atwww.concur.com.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2013 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at Concur’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by Concur at its principal executive offices no later than September 26, 2012, in order to be included in Concur’s proxy materials relating to that meeting. Stockholders wishing to bring a proposal before the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (but not include it in Concur’s proxy materials) must provide such proposal in writing to Concur no later than January 13, 2013, nor earlier than December 14, 2012, to the attention of Corporate Secretary, 18400 N.E.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

We do not have a formal process by which stockholders may communicate directly with members of our Board of Directors. We believe that an informal process, in which any communication sent to the Board of Directors in care of the Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Secretary, or other executive officer of Concur is generally to be forwarded to the Board of Directors, serves the needs of the Board and our stockholders. All stockholder communications that are received by executive officers for the Board’s attention are forwarded to the Board. In view of SEC disclosure requirements relating to this issue, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may in the future consider adoption of more specific procedures. Until such other procedures are adopted and posted on our Internet website atwww.concur.com, any communications to the Board of Directors should be sent to it in care of Corporate Secretary, 18400 N.E. Union Hill Road, Redmond, Washington 98052.In addition, copies of Concur’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, are available without charge. For copies of those reports, and for further information about Concur, contact Investor Relations, 18400 N.E. Union Hill Road, Redmond, Washington 98052 or visit our Internet website awww.concur.com.

CONCUR TECHNOLOGIES, INC

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Wednesday, March 14, 2012, 11:00 a.m., Pacific Time

Harbor Club, 777 108th Avenue Northeast, Bellevue, WA

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF STOCKHOLDER DOCUMENTS

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies to send a single copy of annual reports, proxy statements, prospectuses and other disclosure documents to two or more investors sharing the same address, subject to certain conditions. The “householding” rules will provide greater convenience for investors and cost savings for companies by reducing the number of duplicate documents the investors receive.

Implementation and Consent

Unless we receive contrary instructions, if you have the same last name or are a member of the same family as any other investor who shares the same address, your household will receive only one copy of our proxy statement and other disclosure documents, although you will receive a separate proxy card for each investor in the household. This program began January 1, 2004.

Revoking and Duration of Consent

If you choose to revoke your consent to the householding program at a future date, you may do so by writing to Corporate Secretary, 18400 NE Union Hill Road, Redmond, WA 98052. We will remove you from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of your revocation of your consent. If we do not receive instructions from you to discontinue householding, your proxy materials will continue to be “ household” until we notify you otherwise. However, if at any time you would like a separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement, please write us at the address shown above, and we will deliver it promptly.

We encourage your participation in this program. It not only allows us to reduce costs, it is more environmentally friendly by reducing the unnecessary use of materials.
