SAP, one of the largest cloud-based human resource software companies, is combining two current system applications, SuccessFactors and Fieldglass, in order to help human resource managers better assess non-salaried workers. Data from Oxford Economics indicates that employment of “contingent workers” - such as consultants, part-time, and contract workers - will increase 80% over the next three years. The combination of the two software systems allows managers to view and analyze skill sets and talents of employees who are managed outside the traditional HR framework. SAP is seeking to be competitive in a growing market for cloud HR systems; its closest competitor is Workday.
