Spring/Q1 2020 SolutionMap release note: Contingent Workforce & Services (CW/S) Enterprise Technology Solutions — Temp Staffing, Contract Services/Statement of Work (SOW), Direct Sourcing of Workforce/Services

The Spring/Q1 2020 SolutionMap release marks the seventh research cycle for Spend Matters’ Contingent Workforce & Services (CW/S) “enterprise technology” SolutionMap, the sourcing and management of three underlying spend categories: Temp Staffing, Contract Services/Statement of Work and Direct Sourcing of Workforce/Services (formerly Independent Contract Workers, or ICW).

This release note updates SolutionMap Insider subscribers on the changes since the last release. Also, SolutionMap is shifting from quarterly updates to spring and fall updates. This is the last quarterly release and the first spring release, so you’ll see it labeled “Spring/Q1.”

Changes to Spring/Q1 2020 Contingent Workforce & Services (CW/S) SolutionMap

New Provider
One new provider joined SolutionMap:

* Workforce Logiq — participating in the Temp Staffing category

New Persona
The Turn-Key persona has been added to the Temp Staffing SolutionMap because, as the persona definition states, some TCO-oriented, 80/20 rule businesses favor “a combination of software capability and supporting services to contractually deliver results and a defensible ROI; pre-loaded capabilities, content, and know-how” over a powerful technology tool that may also be complex relative to their needs.
