24 Jan Infinitely extensible VMS: The freedom of being non-modular in a changing world
Imagine what your contingent workforce management would look like if you could make changes to sourcing strategy and workflows on the fly. A solution exists where you would be able to have one single lens and access point for all non-employee talent in the organization, including statement of work (SOW) engagements. Why not grab the opportunity?
Having a one-stop, unified platform for everything you need is not a fictional scenario; it is reality in the form of an easy-to-adopt, non-modular VMS design. That means flexibility, a harmonized experience, on-platform analytics, an infinitely extensible single-platform architecture, intuitive drag-and-drop workflows, and the assurance that users can confidently navigate and effectively accomplish tasks regardless of their level of experience on the platform without limiting impact.
Consider the positive impact of a non-modular VMS architecture. If the questions above get you excited and curious, it could mean it’s time to rethink the impact your current modular solution is having on your business. If you’re currently without a VMS, this list is the perfect place to get a quick rundown on non-modular design and why this is the right solution for you.
8 Ways a non-modular VMS leads organizations to success
1. All your labor categories, including SOW, will be in one place
Imagine what you could do if instead of getting lost in different tools and sourcing channels, you had unlimited access to all your labor categories in one platform? Complete visibility and access to your entire extended workforce, or just the channels you need for that tricky requisition, is possible through an actionable, ecosystem approach that’s driven by analytics.
2. You’ll become scalable
A single platform architecture unites all components and functionalities through non-modular design, seamless integrations, and access to business-enabling apps, eliminating the challenges often faced when trying to unify different labor categories, including SOW. Whether you’re adding more resources or enhancing your existing infrastructure, this type of architecture can handle infinite growth.
3. You’ll maintain functionality and make program improvements and changes quickly
Since changes can be applied easily across the entire platform with 100% compatibility for all categories and use cases, the process of adding new features, updating workflows, or implementing projects, tasks, and upgrades is simplified and can be done quicker than the traditional custom code route. That means reduced complexity, lower risk, and fewer delays.
4. You won’t be stymied by resource drains, time constraints, and missed opportunities that come with code-based integrations
Intuitive drag-and-drop workflows enable customizations with minimal or no software development or testing required. A harmonized contingent workforce and VMS program results in faster implementations, improved project outcomes, reduced maintenance, and less testing needed.
5. Different teams will have the ability to work frictionlessly together
A unified platform provides a consistent, user-friendly experience, resulting in greater adoption across both users and the extended workforce being managed on the platform.
6. Your control will be centralized, and you’ll have a view into everything all at once
A single-entry point (or front door) for all extended workforce categories and use cases provides significant cost reduction. Plus, a centralized, secure platform database provides a 360 view into all aspects of your program and can handle an ever-increasing volume of information without sacrificing performance.
7. Your efficiency will lower your TCO and implementation costs
Good resource allocation, a clear overview of all the data, and ease of growth all result in a lowered total cost of ownership. After an initial low-cost implementation, the costs associated with SOW, IC, and other categories are also significantly reduced. A consistent, user-friendly interface promotes greater adoption and compliance among managers, which leads to the last point on the list.
8. You’ll reduce your risk
As your data will be securely stored on one platform, you won’t need to aggregate or transfer information that could be lost or corrupted from other modules. Additionally, with reduced complexity, you’ll experience fewer risks associated with upgrades.
