As the use of non-employee labor continues to grow, more procurement professionals are being asked to source solutions for a Vendor Management System (VMS). These systems have been around since the late 1990s and although their adoption has increased, new developments have been somewhat limited…or have they? SIG has released a new research report on VMS technology and found that innovation is alive and well in this space. This Summit session will provide buyers with a forward-looking perspective on the trends and developments of the top providers in the space. It will take a deeper look at the report findings and give providers a chance to discuss their approach to innovation and system design. If your organization is using a VMS or considering joining 80% of the Fortune 100 who do, this is a must attend session. Our panel will be made up of three of the most innovative VMS providers and moderated by the lead analyst from the report. They will be reviewing the innovations in the sector as well as discussing trends and influences driving future innovation.
Topics covered in this session included:
- What the common elements of a VMS are and how they are designed to support temps, freelancers, consultants and project workers
- What providers consider to be the most critical features to be designed into their tools in order to be “future ready”
- How to recognize the features your organization needs to assure adoption and provide optimum benefits
