Premium Content Roundup - February 2010


A compilation of all Premium content that has been added to the SSON website over the past month

By: Barbara Hodge, Premium Content Editor, Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON), 

A monthly roundup of some of our key premium content: Thought leadership this month comes from Deloitte, which reports that far from being scared off by last year’s markets, organizations are embracing outsourcing more than ever. And for those of you whose leaders are still on the fence about taking the plunge, Deloitte offers some presuasive arguments to bolster your case. With BPO consolidation big on everyone’s radar this year, we offer you a unique Latin American perspective. With the nearshore increasingly attractive, Philip Peters of Zagada Markets describes the wave of M&A activity in Latin America that presages a boom in nearshore options for US companies (Latin America -- the Nearshore Beckons).

Our case studies series continues with the UK’s Co-operative and Austria’s OMV. Andrew Bolton at the Co-operative shares his continuous improvement program while Johann Kandelsdorfer, head of OMV’s Global Solutions team, describes how an impressive 10% (30m Euros) was cut off the cost base in 2009.

Testimonials

"This is the first time that Intercomp Global Services embarked on this type of collaboration with SSON. But our team has been impressed with the professionalism in the way this service was delivered and all our expectations were exceeded. The webinar we delivered in association with SSON was slick and very well organized delivering more leads than we expected and we didn’t even have to leave the office! Intercomp Global Services is very much looking forward to become a long term partner with SSON"
