“To be the top provider of enterprise open source solutions in the industry, you need a workforce that’s specialized yet flexible, adaptable and open to growing with you,” said Jennifer Dudeck, senior vice president, chief people officer, Red Hat. “Our contingent workforce is a major contributor to our innovation and growth. Our work with Monument Consulting and the SAP Fieldglass application has enabled us to improve the visibility and value of our contingent workforce, helping us access top talent, accelerate hiring and streamline onboarding, all while reducing costs.”

As an open source leader, Red Hat’s community-powered approach is central to its business, evident in both its culture and the solutions it delivers to customers. Its contingent workers play a key role in the company’s operations and success. They fulfill a variety of roles, from program and project managers who lead large enterprise projects to marketing specialists with specific campaign experience.

Red Hat historically relied on manual processes across multiple staffing vendors to source and manage the highly skilled contingent workers it needed. To maximize the value of its contingent workforce program, Red Hat needed to increase visibility into spending, headcount and quality of work while also standardizing processes across its North American operations. The company selected SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management to do that. Monument Consulting, Red Hat’s managed services provider, helped roll out the solution in just 90 days.
