The operating context

One of our Fortune 100 Telecommunications Company clients faced challenges managing their volume staff augmentation requirements. They are looking to revamp their Staff Augmentation program that included many more categories, and thus, the client sought for a reliable partner to meet their staffing needs efficiently. They were also looking for conducting a reverse auction to finalize a new rate card added complexity to the process. Additionally, over 1800 requirements needed to be fulfilled each year, and qualified candidates had to be submitted within a tight 4-hour window. With over 50 prime vendors in the program, the client required a strategic solution to optimize their staff augmentation process and promptly fulfil staffing requirements.
