Why Does The Startup Zone Matter So Much To The Global Business Services Community? 

SSON’s Startup Zone is the business services industry’s answer to the challenges operational executives are facing today – to leverage more agile, customer-centric and innovative solutions to solve business problems. The Startup Zone will feature new companies offering niche services where artificial intelligence, automation, user experience, and agility are critical differentiators. The solutions will be relevant, disruptive products in the shared services and GBS arena that solve a problem not currently adequately addressed by big IT. These startups bring immeasurable value to executives looking for innovative solutions to drive improved customer service and experience, and who are keen to gain an ‘early adopter’ edge over their competition.
