ELEVATE's customers, Managed Services Providers (MSPs) in contingent labor worldwide, needed a solution that would give them more control over data integration and modeling. The company sought a Business Intelligence (BI) innovation partner that would provide a flexible solution adaptable to any environment or touchpoint in the talent acquisition and management chain.
