Shared Services

The premise behind setting up a shared service is to deliver a uniform and consistent service across the organization, in a multi location and centralized/federated business support environment. We help clients to set-up shared services for Finance and Accounting, HR and other Business Support Services using a blend of BPR, Organisation Design, Technology Assessment and Enterprise Internal Controls.

We believe an effective Shared Service Solution at the very least should deliver:

  • Intelligent resource management - especially people, process and technology
