  • Fieldglass Secures Investment from Madison Dearborn Partners
    Fieldglass Secures Investment From Madison Dearborn Partners Investment from fellow Chicago-based firm to accelerate Fieldglass' global market expansion and strategic development initiatives Chicago - January 1, 2012 Fieldglass, Inc., the leading technology provider to procure and manage contingent labor and services, today announced that it has secured a substantial investment from Madison Dearborn Partners. The transaction, which values Fieldglass in excess of $220 million, validates Fieldglass’ leadership position in the growing services procurement market. Upon completion of the investment, Madison Dearborn will hold a majority ownership position in Fieldglass. Jai Shekhawat, founder and CEO of Fieldglass, and the company’s management team will retain a significant ownership stake. Fieldglass’ Software as a Service (SaaS) Vendor Management System (VMS) enables companies to more efficiently procure and manage contingent labor and services such as statement of work engagements, offshore projects and independent contractors across dozens of categories, which is especially critical in today’s dynamic market environment. Known for its ability to support the largest and most complex contingent workforce management and services programs, Fieldglass is recognized to have the industry’s largest installed base, and is rapidly scaling its global presence. Its clients include American Airlines, CVS Caremark, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Monsanto and Verizon. Industry research provider Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) predicts the use of VMS will grow dramatically in the next couple of years. According to SIA’s 2009 Annual Buyers’ Survey, VMS usage is expected to more than double to 81 percent in 2011, up from just 34 percent in 2007. “We selected Madison Dearborn for its technology-enabled services portfolio and business integrity, and with its backing we will have additional flexibility to make investments in strategic development initiatives and expand into new, global markets,” said Jai Shekhawat, founder and CEO, Fieldglass.
