From Process to Strategy: Data-Driven Workforce Intelligence

Raising the Bar in IC and SOW Management
As organizations increasingly rely on Independent Contractors (ICs), TAPFIN has built a comprehensive IC ecosystem that combines AI-enhanced talent curation with predictive compliance monitoring. In parallel, its advanced SOW capabilities provide visibility into project performance, milestones, and budgets—ensuring services drive measurable business outcomes.

"Talent Solutions TAPFIN continues to strengthen its position in the CWM space as a result of its holistic capabilities, an offshore/nearshore delivery model to support clients across diverse industries, and job families in all major geographies," said Krishna Charan, Vice President, Everest Group.
