In a rapidly changing labour market, choosing the right technology partner is not always easy. Independent benchmarks such as the Everest Group PEAK Matrix® provide valuable guidance in this regard. We are proud to announce that Nétive VMS has also been declared both Leader and Star Performer in the EMEA region. Holding this position for the second year in a row confirms that with Nétive, organisations choose a proven, future-proof solution for external hiring.
Independent recognition of quality
The Everest Group PEAK Matrix® is an independent and in-depth evaluation of the VMS market. The report looks beyond just market share and assesses vendors on two key dimensions:
- Market impact: This includes customer base size, geographical spread, year-on-year growth and the demonstrable results a supplier achieves for its customers. It provides insight into commercial strength and success in the market.
- Vision & capabilities: This looks at the completeness of the VMS solution, its innovativeness, the quality of implementation and support, the flexibility of the platform and the vendor’s overall vision for the future of contingent workforce management.
A Leader status is not a marketing label, but a recognition based on solid research and objective criteria. It means that a VMS provider not only supports the operational side of external hiring well, but also actively works on improving and future-proofing its platform. By doing so, you choose a partner who leads the market.
Strong growth, solid investment and clear vision
Nétive VMS’ consistent top performance is the result of a clear strategy and constant focus on market needs. Krishna Charan, Vice President at Everest Group, explains, ‘Nétive VMS continues to show strong traction in EMEA, driven by continued investment in platform expansion, compliance and vendor connectivity. Fortino Capital’s recent investment underlines its ambition to further scale innovation. With improvements in time and expense tracking, invoicing, integrations, talent pools and vendor marketplaces, Nétive is well positioned to respond to the changing needs of organisations in this region.’
The Everest Group annually analyses the global VMS market and the PEAK Matrix® has become one of the most authoritative benchmarks for organisations looking to make an informed choice. That Nétive VMS has topped the EMEA vendor rating for the second year in a row is a strong endorsement of our position.
