Recently, Coupa software acquired VMS provider DCR Workforce, indicating some common industry thinking in the blending of workforce and enterprise procurement platforms. In addition, many MSPs have contracts tied to Fieldglass which are limited to people/services procurement and HR departments that are increasingly managing contingent workforce spend.

Vish Baliga, chief technology officer at SAP Fieldglass, discussed the integration of Fieldglass and Ariba at the conference. The announcement came at the recent SAP Ariba Live conference in Austin, Texas. Procurement software provider SAP Ariba and contingent workforce vendor management system SAP Fieldglass will no longer operate as separate entities, according to an article in TechTarget.
