Unlocking the potential of workforce management for government and regulated industries.
SYDNEY, Australia — 6 October 2022 — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced the in-country availability of SAP Fieldglass in Australia and New Zealand, allowing local customers to use the leading Vendor Management System (VMS) while meeting the data sovereignty requirements of the Australian and New Zealand governments.
SAP Fieldglass is a cloud-based, open VMS that helps organisations find, engage, manage, and pay external workers anywhere in the world. Its availability in Australia and New Zealand will help customers, especially those operating in government and regulated industries, manage the external and contingent workforces supporting their sensitive and critical work in line with local data sovereignty requirements.
Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director, SAP Australia and New Zealand said, “Customers in government and regulated industries, including banks and financial services, utilities, transport, and telecommunications, are under increasing pressure to meet demand for highly-skilled external workers and increase workforce agility, while at the same time experiencing heightened scrutiny of supply chain assurance.”
“The legislative environment and cyber considerations in both Australia and New Zealand require organisations of different sizes to think about the provision of their cloud services and technology. SAP Fieldglass is now available locally through, reinforcing our commitment to provide customers with the sovereignty, security, and confidence they need from their cloud products and services.”
SAP Fieldglass will initially be available to customers in the ANZ areas where Microsoft Azure is available.
“We’re delighted to have signed this agreement with SAP, to give more government agencies and highly regulated industries in Australia and New Zealand the confidence to migrate their systems to the cloud, knowing their data and IT platforms meet the highest global standards for governance and security. Accelerating cloud adoption also enables such organisations to innovate with more services that improve the experiences of their teams, customers and stakeholders,” said Microsoft ANZ Chief Partner Officer, Vanessa Sorenson.
As the world of work rapidly evolves, SAP Fieldglass has been at the forefront of helping hundreds of the world’s largest companies transform and optimise how they find, engage, and manage external talent and contingent workforces.
SAP Fieldglass solutions help automate the end-to-end process of procuring and managing external talent, allowing customers to better manage costs by using preferred suppliers and adhering to market rates.
