Fieldglass Earns Ariba Ready Status


    Fieldglass Inc., a leading provider of contingent workforce
    management and services procurement software, announced today that it
    has successfully completed the requirements for Ariba, Inc.'s Ariba(R)
    Ready(TM) designation. Fieldglass was awarded the designation based on
    its proven ability to effectively transact with and provide content to
    organizations using Ariba Buyer through Ariba(R) Supplier Network(TM).

    InSite(R), the contingent workforce management and services
    procurement software from Fieldglass, is an all-in-one, on-demand
    application which optimizes the processes associated with the
    procurement and management of contingent labor and other external
    business services such as consulting projects, outsourced and offshore
    functions. Fieldglass has integrated InSite with Ariba in order to
    leverage the investment that companies have made in Ariba's spend
    management solution while providing additional functionality for labor
    spend management.

    "The successful integration between InSite and Ariba has been in
    production for years with several Fortune 500 clients allowing them to
    extend their investment in Ariba in acquiring human capital and
    services while also managing the tasks and activities involving the
    people that are getting work done," commented Fieldglass CTO, Sean
    Chou. "Fieldglass is honored to be acknowledged within the Ariba Ready
    program and thereby a part of the procurement ecosystem of Ariba
    clients."

    InSite integrates with Ariba utilizing Ariba(R) PunchOut(TM),
    allowing customers to "punch out" from the Ariba Buyer solution to
    InSite's web-based application for contingent workforce management,
    before returning to the Ariba procurement solution to complete the
    labor procurement transaction. Ariba PunchOut provides a seamless
    interface between the end-user's procurement environment and InSite.

    As part of the Ariba Ready program, Fieldglass joined Ariba at its
    conference, Ariba LIVE 2007, May 21 - 23 in Boca Raton, Florida. Ariba
    LIVE 2007 is an executive level conference developed for spend
    management professionals by spend management professionals, providing
    leading-edge information to senior management within Global 2000
    companies. The event, with over 1200 attendees from a wide range of
    industries, brought together Ariba customers, prospects, suppliers and
    partners to a forum that encouraged the sharing of ideas, best
    practices and insights.
