  • Hackett’s Ten Critical Insights Global Business Services
    The shared services landscape today is notable for its maturity and success in reducing costs, but considerable change is on the horizon. As they become more auto¬mated and mature, organisations are moving beyond tradi-tional transactional work to become more strategic, and they are evolving towards a next-generation model, which Hackett calls Global Business Services.
  • Top Ten Things to Consider When Selecting an Outsourcing Destination
    What strategies did eBay use to ensure its business processes could support the company’s fast growth? It faced a challenge in meeting eBay sellers’ expectations of instantaneous payment. eBay turned to outsourcing for a solution that would handle the exponential transaction accounting needs. The migration of this and other business processes to BPO provider Genpact was not without challenges. This white paper shares the lessons and best practices learned during the transition to outsourcing. It also discusses how the parties defined success and how they measure it. Read this paper to learn how to avoid factors that often cause business problems during the outsourcing transition phase.
  • Six Keys to a Successful BPO Transition
    For many companies, the discussion about outsourcing is no longer 'why' or 'what' and has turned to 'where'. As options increase worldwide, the service delivery location assessment becomes a major component of the provider selection process. The goal is to identify the location that will yield the maximum strategic benefit—combining the best talent, cost structure, and infrastructure with minimum risk. This paper discusses 10 decision factors around selecting the optimal location and provider. The factors are derived from the successful decisions made by over 400 clients of Genpact in globalizing across its 39 global delivery centers. Together, these factors create a structured way of approaching the complexities of selecting a BPO partner.

  • Helping our clients win in the changing world of work: Recruitment Process: Why Outsource?
    The future of RPO looks strong despite or perhaps aided by the current global recession. Many organisations are open to the possibility that RPO, particularly if focused on strategic business needs, can be a tool to compete during difficult economic times.

  • Webinar: The Hackett Group and SSON Service Center Benchmark Study
    The Hackett Group and SSON are offering a Service Center Benchmark that assists executives in objectively assessing how well their service center(s) are performing in relation to peer organisations. The benchmark compares the performance of service center functions to other service centers within your company and to those in other companies. The results of the benchmark also provide key insights into the areas of service center operations that can be improved, and pinpoints the best practices that enable this increase in efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Webinar: Driving Best in Class Source to Pay Performance and Improving Business Outcomes
    Companies often lack the visibility into what best -in-class processes look like and, therefore, can be challenged with end-to-end process improvements. As a result, there are significant differences in value realization between leading companies and average performers. Specifically, in the Source to Pay (S2P) arena, it is critical to look at processes end-to-end - from spend analysis to accounts payable - to truly leverage the full benefits of sourcing and procurement operations.
    Genpact will discuss a new paradigm which takes an enterprise level view of the source to pay processes and ties them to business outcomes enabling faster pay-back and increased performance. Key learnings from this complimentary webinar session include the primary differences in value realization between leading and average performers and how companies can leverage structured methodology for improving business outcomes... register today

  • Q & A: Phil Fersht, Horses for Sources - Phil Fersht, Founder and Author of “Horses Sources” & Research Director, AMR
    At the recent 9th Annual Shared Services & Outsourcing Week in Budapest, SSON spoke to Phil Fersht, about the business values of tomorrow's sourcing strategies.
  • Low-Cost or Value-Adding? How do SSOs Stand Out?
    Looking for the middle ground to the various sourcing options, which delivers financial benefits, an improved customer experience and exciting opportunities for internal staff to fulfil their career ambitions.
    Most successful organizations have clearly articulated strategies and business models in terms of their customer service proposition. A clear, defined approach is not always evident in the way organizations source and deliver internal support services. Options range from insourced, onshore models, to outsourced, offshore models, with most organizations choosing one strategy or the other.
  • Top Ten Tips for Drafting an RFP
    Whether you call it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation to Tender (ITT), it's one of the most crucial stages in any sourcing initiative.
    Just as every building needs firm foundations, so every major sourcing initiative needs to have a firm basis on which to proceed. Whether you call it a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation to Tender (ITT), the document and process that initiates the process of selecting the eventual vendor is quite possibly the single most important document that the customer and its advisors will produce. All too often, however, the RFP turns out to be poorly constructed, and/or provides a process that is not best suited to meet the customer's needs.
  • How Are BPO Providers Bringing Innovation to Customer Relationships?
    Interview with Kaushik Bhaumik,VP & Global Practice Leader for BPO, Cognizant.
    Each month, SSON puts a BPO provider under the spotlight, challenging them to outline innovations they are bringing to client relationships -- a frequent criticism from the buy side. This month we speak with Cognizant, an IT and BPO provider that bases its delivery services on an onshore/offsite model, offering -- as Kaushik Bhaumik explains -- the best of both worlds: economics and 24/7 leverage of offshore development combined with vertical expertise, technology capability and locally tailored consulting. The company has just announced the expansion of its Phoenix delivery center. SSON checks it out.
