VMS Hell from a staffing industry point of view

First of all, I have to give full credit for this post to the Californai Staffing Association.  The information written by them below is one of the BEST descriptions of what staffing firms many times deal with when they interact with a corporate VMS.  It is important for all parties; 1) the corporate client, 2) the VMS/MSP and 3) the staffing firm to better understand the  common frustrations of interfacing with a VMS environment.  Happy Reading !!!

VMS Is On Its Death Bed

Thursday, January 28th, 2010 by Tim Giehll

Following the bankruptcy of Chimes and then the bankruptcy of that small healthcare VMS, I thought we were done.  But now the Albany Group VMS in the UK had their funding pulled out from under them.  Who is next???  Bee Line was bought by Adecco, so they are safe.  Which VMS do you feel will be the next to file bankruptcy or be acquired??

Stand alone VMS solutions are like labor unions.  When they were started they served an important purpose, but now they are no longer relevant.  VMS sounds like a Buggy Whip to me!!  Let’s think about why!!
