CHICAGO, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced SAP® Fieldglass® Live Insights, a new machine learning-powered, data-driven insights service that makes it
possible for executives to benchmark, plan, predict and simulate external talent scenarios.
The new SAP
Fieldglass service is the result of partnering with SAP Data Network to create this capability that is powered by SAP HANA®. With SAP Fieldglass Live
Insights, organizations can benchmark market rates, hiring cycle times and supplier performance as part of a seamless process
that culminates with decisions about external talent and their engagement, using SAP Fieldglass data and trusted supplemental
third-party data that has been aggregated, anonymized and normalized. Organizations also can upload their own employee data into
SAP Fieldglass Live Insights to gain visibility of their talent across channels in real time.
SAP Fieldglass "retain[ed]" its position as a Leader in "The Forrester Wave™: Services Procurement, Q1 2017," recently published by the independent research firm
Forrester Research, Inc. Per the report, SAP Fieldglass "…continues to be one of the most capable services procurement vendors,
with the largest client base, the most spend under management, and the widest geographic presence."
Rob Brimm, president, SAP Fieldglass, said: "With access to the most robust data via SAP Fieldglass Live
Insights, our customers can analyze and make decisions at speed about their external talent —arguably one of their most valuable
assets — as they race to become more competitive in every aspect of their business. SAP Fieldglass Live Insights is the latest
example of our commitment to help organizations transform how work gets done in a digital world where companies must move quickly
to activate their workforce strategies and secure the talent that best suits their needs."
By identifying where to source the right skills at the most competitive rates and being able to immediately requisition that
talent with this new capability, organizations can accelerate the speed at which their business operates. For example, they
can:
- Conduct cost-benefit analysis in real time to inform external talent decisions based on location, time to fill and other
market metrics
- Determine competitive rates for talent that is needed to launch a new product or service, and requisition that talent in an
uninterrupted workflow
- Identify the optimal time to release requisitions for striking a balance between lead time and cost
