Challenge

A global oil and gas company identified that SOW engagements were being used for staff augmentation, resulting in significant overspend. However, the organization lacked visibility into the scale of the issue and the ability to quantify savings opportunities across its workforce.

‍

Solution

The company leveraged TDX SOW Quality and Risk Analysis to assess thousands of SOW agreements.
Within weeks, TDX identified over 900 SOW-based workers performing work that could be more cost-effectively delivered through the contingent workforce—providing clear guidance for workforce reclassification and channel optimization.

Impact

• $13M in realized savings through workforce channel optimization 
• Improved alignment of work to the appropriate engagement model (SOW vs. contingent labor) 
• Increased visibility into workforce deployment and cost inefficiencies 
• Established a data-driven approach to ongoing workforce optimization
