Actionable Insights with Intelligent Spend Management
Services providers – strategists, consultants, services firms, and more – help organizations get work done and represent a sizeable share of total workforce spend. But most organizations don't view these workers as an extension of their workforce, and struggle to derive maximum value from them.
Too often, organizations face these challenges in realizing the full value of their services providers:
- Tracking the quality of the project and the external talent
- Managing security, both physical and cybersecurity
- Ensuring compliance to labor laws, local taxes, worker certification, etc.
- Exposing unauthorized spend
- Finding high-quality resources at the right time, right place, right rate
To achieve greater visibility and insight into external services providers, companies must manage them as actively as full-time employees. In doing so, executives can obtain a good return on their investment and desired business outcomes.
