Shared Services are the convergence and streamlining of an organization’s
functions to ensure that they deliver the organization the services required
of them as effectively and efficiently as possible. Shared Services are more
than just centralization or consolidation of similar activities in one location.
Shared Services mean running these service activities like a business and
delivering services to internal customers at a cost, quality and timeliness
that is competitive with alternatives.
India was one of the pioneer countries that introduced shared services and
outsourcing as a concept. Since then, India has fought hard to retain its
position as a destination of choice for the shared services and outsourcing
industries given the fantastic Infrastructure, Technology and Talent available.
Due to the Global slowdown however other regional outsourcing hub’s like
Philippines that just overtook India as the outsourcing destination in the
voice segment along with China and Malaysia is fast catching up. India needs
to ensure that it remains competitive and an attractive destination for
outsourcing but factors like inflation, higher wage rates and infrastructure
costs are some of the many challenges India will have to overcome to maintain
its competitive edge.
