    A well-suited case could be : a) It's valuable during audits (both internal and external ) as it documents history and clear records. Scope of Improvement could be: a) It might not be suitable where the external workforce is relatively smaller, as it could be a costly affair for them.

    I would recommend Upwork to a colleague as a solution to workplace issues. Our company has utilized Upwork to vet out potential competitors as well as partners in a lengthy data analysis project, as well as given our engineering team extra hands when implementing new products, projects, and features. This has allowed our company to stay on track with projects without in-house manpower.

    • Allows us to filter freelancers by location. This is especially important when working across time zones.
    • Upwork is one of the only freelancing websites that actually provides a filter for US based contractors; and they rigorously verify this.
    • Huge candidate pool. You're almost guaranteed to find a few individuals who specialize in whatever you're looking for.
    • Allows both fixed bid and hourly. Each one is useful for different kinds of projects.

    Cons
    SAP
    • Some of the accounting dropdowns/combinations are clunky and not easy to use in conjunction with each other
    • User profiles are not synched with Ariba- sometimes missing information in Ariba would cause invoices to fail/get stuck. Would be helpful to have a hard stop in SAP Fieldglass to prevent such issues
    • Additional expertise across resources would be helpful. As noted, support itself is responsive and willing. However, we would continue to go through our original implementation contact for knowledge and immediate help.

    • In my opinion the worst customer service. It is impossible to contact them via phone, and they are not transparent about their decisions.
    • I feel they don't have the freelance community's best interest in mind. Their focus is on the companies that pay. Freelancers are disposable.
    • They charge ridiculous fees to the freelancers that are the ones that need the money the most because they are the ones starting their businesses. It is like if your employer charges you for coming to work.

    I have earned a lot on Upwork and I would always recommend it to my fellow peers and people who have skills and are looking independently and remotely from the comfort of their home. Once you get successful in developing a good profile on Upwork revenue target are more easier to achieve.

    Support has been great. Rarely have I ever had an issue that has required support but when I have they have been great. I did have to interact with support to confirm my identity and the process was easy and quick and support was helpful to know what I needed to do to accomplish that task.

It is highly scalable, suitable for large enterprises with complex workforce management needs.

    Upwork is better suited for finding contractors that you can have ongoing relationships. Compared to Fiverr, it's a much easier process to find qualified designers rather than one-time contractors to design simple things for you. The interface is easier to use as well and the billing management makes it so much cleaner and easier to know how much we're spending and how contractors are logging work hours.

    Return on Investment
    SAP
    • I would have to say Fieldglass has made a positive impact, only in that having access to it has opened up some client relationships we didn't have before. I am a vendor to clients using Fieldglass, so I can't really report on the financial successes they may have had by implementing it.
    • The negative side to Fieldglass, or any VMS, really, from an agency perspective is that it cuts out manager contact. That has a negative impact, both to the agency and the hiring manager. No longer can the managers really explain what they need, and no longer can an agency understand the req deeply. We have to work off of a scrubbed job description which is generally pretty vanilla.

    • We have gotten close to 50% of all of our clients through the platform.
    • Upwork backs the work done through the platform, so no matter what the client or person you are working with does, you get paid for the work that you do. You aren't left hanging after doing hours of work for a client and then never getting paid for it.
    • Made it easy to communicate with clients from different parts of the world and set up partnerships and agreements in an easier fashion. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a unique skill set.
