Premium Content Roundup - December 2009

The year ahead offers new options for shared services. While the meltdown of the past year ?attened the playing ?eld to a certain extent, shared services have taken the hint and reasserted their position. The understanding of process and cost that SSOs bring to their organizations has been a tremendous advantage in tough markets, proving their worth to the C-suite.

Trends that are shaping the shared services environment include greater con?dence in terms of taking on outsourcing partnerships, and adjusting the sourcing mix (the ongoing consolidation in the vendor market, and simultaneously the emergence of smaller, tailored specialists supports this). We expect to see certain Asian countries increase their pro? le to the sourcing world, as their markets open up; more demand for custom BPO; and an increased focus on speci? c industries like healthcare, as opportunities are recognized.

Sourcing relationships will carry on evolving, as customers pursuesustainability and innovative solutions. Service off erings are increasing rapidly in high margin areas like Legal Process Outsourcing while the increased interest in nearshore services is being met my the emergence of new niche players.
