Only some of these initiatives, however, have achieved their intended objectives, while others have been quietly shelved.

		Case Study: Provade Professional Services in Action A leading manufacturer of commercial trucks and diesel engines faced a serious challenge in managing its contingent labor spend. Like many businesses with decentralized operations, the company’s regional and local facilities were all responsible for their respective contractors, resulting in redundant effort and lower compliance with negotiated labor rates. As a result, executive management had limited visibility into the organization’s overall temporary labor needs and usage. The manufacturer recognized that significant improvements could be made, and selected Provade to implement its procurement software solution of choice, Oracle PeopleSoft Services Procurement. Provade brought deep procurement industry and product expertise to the project, leading an accelerated three-month process from planning to deployment. By the end of this rapid timeline, the company had met or exceeded all of its goals for rolling out Services Procurement to its user base, enabling its temporary labor suppliers, and bringing its current contractors online.
