The Extended Workforce Management System (EWMS) is a suite of extranet applications that enable organizations to respond more quickly to changing business requirements and time-to-delivery demands through faster, cost-effective access to outside expertise and skills.

In most organizations, finding, acquiring, managing, and paying for the extended workforce - contract, consulting and other contingent outside expertise - is a fragmented, largely manual process. The EWMS is a comprehensive web application that enables:

Rapid sourcing and selection of optimal outside workers and sources;

Reuse of work definition and worker selection knowledge;

Support of strategic sourcing; and

Automation of the resourcing and contracting process.
