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
