Key insights
Independent contractors, AOR, and EOR can sit within one program even when they use different systems
Program boundaries should be defined by governance, not only by what flows through the MSP or VMS
Some companies will keep ICs in an FMS while staff augmentation stays in the MSP and VMS
Other companies will route multiple engagement types through a single MSP and VMS model
Customers should be free to integrate an FMS with the VMS or operate it separately
Suppliers must adapt to each customer’s program design, not force a standard model
AI increases the need for speed and flexibility, making contingent talent more essential
