System One Acquires Vendor Management System Provider Link2Consult

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--System One, the leader in technical outsourcing solutions, announced the acquisition of the Link2Consult technology platform, which delivers complete workforce procurement through a flexible Vendor Management System (VMS). Link2Consult’s technology business line will operate as a separate legal entity under System One Holdings, LLC.

“The alignment with System One represents a direct channel to expand Link2Consult’s reach”

The integration of System One and Link2Consult creates a comprehensive and highly-configurable suite of contingent workforce management solutions, all offered from a single source. Clients will be able to choose from several implementation options:

1. Standalone Technology: Licensed access to Link2Consult’s web-based, hosted platform while leveraging the client’s own internal business process management.
2. Vendor-Neutral VMS: Managed service arrangement with centralized vendor coordination supported by metrics-based performance analysis.
3. Turnkey Managed Staffing: As part of a complete and highly cost-effective outsourced arrangement utilizing a primary and/or onsite vendor relationship.

“The Link2Consult technology adds the ‘missing link’ to System One’s robust portfolio of contingent workforce solutions,” said Troy Gregory, CEO of System One. “As the demand for VMS expands deeper into the middle markets, we are very excited to offer companies an integrated approach to their most complex workforce challenges.” Currently, System One manages numerous large-scale contingent workforce programs for clients across diverse technical, energy and industrial sectors.

Developed in collaboration with corporate procurement executives, Link2Consult offers a tested, secure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application for complete workforce management. It provides user-friendly functionality to support contract development, requisitioning, vendor compliance, candidate screening and testing, workflow automation, billing and more.

The company’s founder Peter McCree will remain in the role of President of Link2Consult. “The alignment with System One represents a direct channel to expand Link2Consult’s reach,” said McCree. “System One’s investment will fuel additional technology enhancements to take us to the next level.
