A Vendor Management Systems (VMS) acts as a mechanism for business to manage and procure staffing services (usually temporary staff) as well as outside contract or contingent labour. VMS solutions have been proven effective in replacing manual systems and processes.
The penetration of VMS is significant, with over US$120B revenue through VMS systems annually and continuing strong growth rates.
VMS solutions have gone beyond primary contingent workers, sourcing and billing applications to supporting workers through services contracts. The changing focus is welcoming and continues to address business concerns.
