Per the communication sent February 21, 2025, the SSC has been meeting with Emburse (formerly Chrome River) to discuss upgrades designed to provide users and administrators with more resources and information and a better overall user experience. We are currently working with an Emburse Solutions Advisor to implement recommendations.
