Fieldglass Earns Second Consecutive Finalist Status for its Innovative Technology Platform

CHICAGO, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Fieldglass, Inc., provider of the leading unified technology platform for acquiring contingent workers, services and direct hires, announced today that InSite 5.0 was named a finalist for "Best New Product or Service of the Year" in the software as a service category of the 2009 American Business Awards, also known as the Stevie(R) Awards. Fieldglass was named a finalist in 2008 for its solution as well and won the 2007 Stevie award for "Most Innovative Company in North America".

"Despite very tough economic conditions, many organizations and individuals continue to perform well," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. "The results of the 2009 ABAs thus far are a testament to the resilience, creativity, and hard work of American organizations, executives, and workers."

Fieldglass' InSite product suite, delivered 100 percent via the SaaS model, is the first unified technology platform that allows procurement and human resources professionals to utilize one integrated application for acquiring all types of human capital. The company recently developed a resource decision support tool, called the Decision Wizard, to guide hiring managers toward the best resource per piece of work while helping the company meet its workforce modeling goals.

"In this economy, a holistic view of the workforce - and a tool like the Decision Wizard - will be key as companies try to control costs associated with their workers," said Sean Chou, CTO of Fieldglass. "By combining all of the solutions necessary to manage contingent labor, service providers and direct hires and beginning the process with the Decision Wizard, customers are better able to influence the workforce composition and strategically manage their workforce."

More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories. Winners will be announced Monday, June 22, in New York. Further details and the complete list of finalists are available at www.stevieawards.com/aba.
