Fieldglass Continues Impressive Growth Over First Half of 2011, Recognized for Its Best-in-Class Implementation Methodology
Fieldglass Extends Its Market Leadership through Significant Customer and Company Expansion
CHICAGO, Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fieldglass, Inc., the leading technology provider to procure and manage contingent labor and services, today announced 26 new customer awards during the first half of 2011, as Global 2000 companies continue to choose Fieldglass for its superior customer experience, flexible program model and global capabilities.
During the first two quarters of 2011, Fieldglass:
Experienced steady, strategic internal growth. Fieldglass has grown its customer base year-over-year by 30 percent, and has invested heavily in its business operations to support this growth. During the first six months of the year, the company increased its headcount by 32 percent, both within and outside of the U.S.
Achieved industry recognition for its implementation at a leading energy company. In April, the implementation of the Fieldglass Vendor Management System (VMS) at a large energy company was named one of the year's "100 Great Supply Chain Projects," earning it a spot on the 2011 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100.
During the simultaneous, multi-country implementation, the company and the Fieldglass team created repeatable global business requirements for future expansion, while also taking into account localization considerations necessary for different geographies. By managing its U.S. and U.K. in-scope contract labor through the Fieldglass solution, the company improved its workforce visibility and is better able to make strategic decisions regarding its contract labor spend and headcount.
Introduced first-to-market solutions, features and enhancements. Fieldglass upgraded its customers to new versions of its solution in both March and July. Recently-released functionality helps improve Master Service Provider (MSP) and program office efficiency, the management of complex services spend, and reporting capabilities.
"As a longstanding enterprise-wide client of Fieldglass, we value the technology which enables an integrated contingent workforce service with ongoing continuous improvement," said Brian Bules, Global Director of Talent Solutions and Effectiveness, GlaxoSmithKline. "We also admire how Fieldglass has remained focused and committed to seeking better solutions for non-employee workforce management while remaining neutral and respectful to the staffing services community and customers alike to create those better practices."
End users of the Fieldglass solution help influence the product roadmap through the company's annual Best Practices Summit, which brings together the largest VMS user community to share case studies, current needs, best practices and industry trends. More than 70 customers representing six countries attended the 2011 event this past May.
