FSP vs. CRO

Unlike traditional Full-Service Outsourcing (FSO) or CRO delivery models—where resources are often placed and managed at arm’s length—Vita Global Sciences (VGS) offers a Functional Service Provider (FSP) model built on deeper, more sustained relationships.

VGS’s relationship-focused approach, powered by dedicated Talent Care and delivery teams, ensures ongoing support for consultants post-placement and greater visibility into project progress. Sitting between the standard models of FSO, BPO, and CRO, VGS’s FSP solution is customized to each client’s unique needs while prioritizing consultant engagement and retention throughout the assignment—delivering both flexibility and consistency where it matters most.
