By using modern, multi-tenant online services, external employees can manage their own data and at the same time gain the necessary autonomy, while companies retain full control over security standards and data integrity.

What is Contractor Self-Service?

Contractor Self-Service is an application that enables external service providers or freelance employees (= external employees) to access internal company resources and manage their relevant data independently. For example, they can upload documents, update personal information or make requests for access to certain areas of the company - all via a user-friendly online platform. 

At the heart of such an application are multi-client capable systems that enable targeted and secure management of different contractors. This means that specific rights are assigned to each contractor or group without jeopardizing the security and integrity of company data.

Advantages of Contractor Self-Service

The introduction of a contractor self-service system brings numerous advantages for companies and contractors like:

1. Reduced administrative workload: contractor self-service minimizes administrative tasks such as manually uploading documents or managing access data. This save time and resources, both for the company and for the contractors.


2. Increased flexibility: contractors can manage their own data and access rights flexibly and independently of office hours. This increases their satisfaction and leads to greater identification with the company.


3. Faster processes: External employees can independently apply for the required authorizations and have them activated in the shortest possible time. This speeds up the entire work process considerably.


4. Security and compliance: The implementation of a multiclient capable system ensures that each contractor can only access the resources that are intended for them. At the same time, company data remains protected at all times.

Challenges during implementation

Despite the many benefits, there are some challenges that need to be considered when 

1. Security risks: Independent access to company systems by contractors brings with it potential security risks. It is therefore essential that the systems are equipped with modern security standards to prevent unauthorized access.


2. Compliance requirements: Companies must ensure that all processes comply with legal requirements. This includes compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), especially when processing personal data.


3. Integration into existing systems: The seamless integration of the self-service system into existing IT structures is one of the biggest challenges. Companies must ensure that all systems are compatible with each other to guarantee a smooth process.
