WALLDORF, Germany, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced that Red Hat, the world's leading provider of
enterprise open source solutions, has streamlined and consolidated
its external workforce program in North
America, through partnership with Monument Consulting, with
the SAP® Fieldglass® Contingent Workforce Management application at
its core.
Centralizing and standardizing contingent workforce management
has enabled Red Hat to enhance processes and increase visibility
into spend for better talent decision-making. Since the rollout of
the SAP Fieldglass application, Red Hat has lowered its costs and
increased compliance for managing its contingent workers in
North America by adhering to
market rates and regulations.
"To be the top provider of enterprise open source solutions in
the industry, you need a workforce that's specialized yet flexible,
adaptable and open to growing with you," said Jennifer Dudeck, senior vice president, chief
people officer, Red Hat. "Our contingent workforce is a major
contributor to our innovation and growth. Our work with Monument
Consulting and the SAP Fieldglass application has enabled us to
improve the visibility and value of our contingent workforce,
helping us access top talent, accelerate hiring and streamline
onboarding, all while reducing costs."
As an open source leader, Red Hat's community-powered approach
is central to its business, evident in both its culture and the
solutions it delivers to customers. Its contingent workers play a
key role in the company's operations and success. They fulfill a
variety of roles, from program and project managers who lead large
enterprise projects to marketing specialists with specific campaign
experience.
Red Hat historically relied on manual processes across multiple
staffing vendors to source and manage the highly skilled contingent
workers it needed. To maximize the value of its contingent
workforce program, Red Hat needed to increase visibility into
spending, headcount and quality of work while also standardizing
processes across its North American operations. The company
selected SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management to do that.
Monument Consulting, Red Hat's managed services provider, helped
roll out the solution in just 90 days.
Enabled by the cloud-based SAP Fieldglass application, Red Hat's
innovative and industry-leading approach to managing contingent
labor includes:
- Speed and efficiency integrating and assimilating contingent
workers. The application allows for faster hiring and
better access to top talent with streamlined interviews, onboarding
and offboarding, resulting in a better experience for candidates
and hiring managers and improved workforce planning.
- Greater visibility of contingent worker spend. Red Hat
consolidated and streamlined its disparate contingent workforce
management processes, including supplier management and
payments.
- Increased capabilities for future global
expansion. The data and workflow integration provides a
highly configurable solution with a wide range of functionality and
features, including the consistent implementation of local tax and
employment regulations across locations.
- Comprehensive data and reporting tools. Equipped with
real-time data and embedded analytics, Red Hat has enhanced its
contingent workforce management in North
America and is realizing cost savings from its staffing
supplier network.
"The way we work is changing, and Red Hat is proving to be at
the leading edge of that evolution," said SAP Fieldglass Chief
Technology Officer Vish Baliga. "The
company, well known for its community-driven approach to
innovation, understands that to achieve its full potential, it must
adapt to the unique demands of the contingent labor market and
innovate with it to better engage highly sought-after talent. Red
Hat now has a digital external workforce management platform that
can efficiently grow with its business as it continues to advance
open source technology around the world."
