Dallas, TX (September 17,
2007) - Alsbridge, the award winning
global advisory firm providing unbiased advice and assistance
on outsourcing, shared services and offshoring,
today announced the availability of its ongoing survey of Shared
Services. Participants can take the survey through September 25.
The resulting report will be released to all participants and
will include a global view of interest levels, current market trends,
and identified benefits. Participants can complete the survey by

The previous report, released in March 2007,
found that the success of a shared services center is directly linked
to a company’s executive buy-in and support. The report
also highlighted the use of shared services in India and China as top
locations of choice, and that the centers were mainly servicing finance and accounting, human resources and procurement.
Current Alsbridge data suggests that organizations can realize
a cost reduction of between 30 and 50 percent by consolidating
business functions into a shared services center. Additionally, Alsbridge
research has found that this concept has tremendous appeal
to organizations because of increased globalization, a need
for 24/7 access to information and a desire to automate
administrative tasks and activities.

at Alsbridge’s popular newsletter OutsourcingLeadership.com.
