Despite increasing interest among contingent workforce programs for VMS pricing models that are more aligned to the licensing approach offered by other enterprise software solutions, fee as a percentage of spend remains the predominant pricing model.

The “other” category in the accompanying chart includes a combination of fee per FTE in the system and per timesheet processed.
