Fieldglass Business Intelligence Fuels Best in Class Contingent Labor and
Services Programs
New Solution Reveals Actionable Information for Smarter Decision Making

CHICAGO, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ — Fieldglass, Inc., provider of the leading
unified platform for acquiring contingent workers, services and direct hires,
today announced its comprehensive business intelligence suite, arming
companies with the information necessary to create more strategic and
cost-effective workforce programs. Using Fieldglass Business Intelligence,
customers can uncover program data, identify trends and anomalies and
benchmark against the industry.

“Fieldglass’ business intelligence offerings provide HMS with insight into
spend, potential compliance risks and the overall efficiencies of our
program,” said David Barrows, director of talent acquisition, HMS. “The
benchmarking component allowed us to see how our program stacks up against the
industry average, giving us a level of detail we could not achieve on our own.
This is especially critical information in the context of today’s economy.”

Current research findings suggest a business intelligence solution is
important to any labor program’s success.

“In our most recent contract talent research study, nearly every interviewee
spoke about the importance of reporting. In fact, one respondent went so far
as to say that this was the single greatest ROI his organization realized in
moving from decentralized to centralized contingent workforce management,”
said Amy Lewis, director of Talent Acquisition Community, Human Capital
Institute. “Better data leads to better reports, on which to make better
decisions.”

Fieldglass Business Intelligence provides a unique level of analysis to all
users to improve day-to-day performance and ultimately helps companies make
better hiring decisions in line with company goals through:

    –  Reporting. Fieldglass offers a broad collection of second-generation
        standard reports, ad-hoc reports based on user-defined criteria and
        scheduled reporting. Fieldglass Analyzer features drill-down analysis
        and charting capabilities that allow non-technical users to easily
        interpret large volumes of data in real-time.
    –  Fieldglass Visualizer. This new feature displays program data in a
        series of interactive graphs and dashboards. Visualizer proactively
        detects emerging trends regarding key performance indicators and
        identifies other anomalies and outliers. Users can immediately drill
        into the appropriate place within the Fieldglass application to take
        action or research areas of concern.

    –  Benchmarking. The benchmark reports compare a company’s rates, cycle
        times and supplier performance with Fieldglass’ broader data supply -
        the industry’s largest aggregated pool of contingent workforce data.
        Delivered as a service through the program office, the reports
identify
        patterns, best practices and strengths and weaknesses. The normalized
        market data can be filtered by, for example, industry or
geo-population
        tiers to provide customers insight into their program’s operations.

“It remains a challenge to evaluate human capital management programs in a
meaningful way,” said Jai Shekhawat, CEO, Fieldglass. “Alongside Fieldglass’
decision support capabilities and other built-in predictive functionality such
as real-time alerts, the new business intelligence tools will prove to be
invaluable to our partners and customers and help them positively transform
their businesses.”
