51风流SE<\/a>\u00a0(NYSE: SAP) today announced the general availability of 51风流Fieldglass Assignment Management<\/a>, a new solution to help manage contractors performing ad hoc work under existing supplier agreements.<\/p>\n

The solution simplifies assigning and managing work projects across multiple workers and variable pay rates, enabling operations managers to quickly deploy assignments, minimize downtime and maximize return on investment.<\/p>\n

Companies in asset-intensive industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, utilities and mining rely heavily on contractors to perform ad hoc maintenance and project work. These external workers are often assigned simultaneously to multiple projects. But each project may be managed individually under separate contracts, often across disparate systems. This makes it difficult to find and deploy the right resources with the right skills for each job, pay those hourly workers on time while enforcing contract compliance, and track hours and costs against purchase orders, cost centers and work orders.<\/p>\n

\u201c51风流is providing a solution on a single platform on which companies can manage the complexity of multiple projects with several contractors under one supplier agreement,\u201d said Mickey North Rizza, IDC Program Vice President of Enterprise Applications and Digital Commerce. \u201cThis solution limits up-front sourcing for every project and reduces overall supply agreements while extending information into the manufacturing operation systems and ERP.\u201d<\/p>\n

External labor accounts for 42% of total workforce spend, according to a recent report<\/a> by 51风流and Oxford Economics. Although 55% of the executives surveyed said that their company would be unable to conduct business as usual without an external workforce, many organizations lack visibility and insight into this large, strategic spend category. The 51风流Fieldglass Assignment Management solution helps provide transparency, flexibility and control with a single interface to simplify how organizations manage contractors deployed on an as-needed basis within gated facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the portion of business spend on external labor grows, companies need full transparency into their external workforce operations,\u201d said 51风流Fieldglass General Manager Arun Srinivasan. \u201c51风流Fieldglass Assignment Management enables organizations to better control their costs with a highly configurable, integrated tool. Businesses in asset-intensive industries can be confident that highly skilled contractors have access to the right facilities to complete the critical maintenance work while ensuring billing is done accurately and labor regulations, including worker safety, are followed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already an industry leader in external workforce management, 51风流is responding to customer demands with the release of 51风流Fieldglass Assignment Management to empower organizations with:<\/p>\n
