Chou Recognized for Helping Clients Take a More Strategic Approach to Managing
Labor 

CHICAGO, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Fieldglass, Inc., provider of the leading
unified platform for acquiring contingent workers, services and direct hires,
today announced CTO Sean Chou was named a 2009 Provider "Pro to Know" by

during the current economic downturn in managing risk in the supply chain,
providing competitive advantage and delivering value to the bottom line. 

Chou urges customers to follow a data-driven approach based on extensive
reporting and analysis in order to make informed, strategic labor decisions
during these difficult economic times. He recommends companies establish
measurable business objectives, benchmark against peers and use technology to
drive conformity as well as automatically measure performance. 

"It is not uncommon to try to 'do more with less' in this uncertain economy.
By using metrics in a more proactive way, companies can get the best value out
of their contingent workforce," said Sean Chou, CTO, Fieldglass, Inc. "We are
honored to be recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive for helping

further by advising its customers on their overall labor strategy, using

more than $5 billion in spend annually through InSite.

"This year's Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought leaders
in their respective supply chain segments," said Andrew K. Reese, editor,
Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Their efforts in developing the tools and
processes that enable companies to weather risky economic conditions and place
them in a position to surge ahead in better times have earned them a place on
this year's Provider Pros listing."
