[cgayner]

The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) community has
relaunched its website www.ssonetwork.com bringing with it new
content, opportunities to exchange ideas and online learning tools –
everything the global shared services and outsourcing community needs.

Drawing information from a global steering committee including experts
from TPI, IBM and Equaterra, SSON ensures you are up to date with all
the latest industry trends, business developments and the changing
landscape that is shared services and outsourcing. Using close ties
with industry research and event production firm IQPC, the SSON offers
its members an unrivalled level of information from the shared service
and outsourcing world.

The new SSON community website (www.ssonetwork.com), membership
offerings and communication options have been developed after close
consultation with existing SSON members and industry experts.
SSON’s Global Strategy & Planning Director Sarah Clayton said: “Our
members (and the shared services industry at large) have been looking
for a holistic, more pragmatic source of information, news and hands-
on content which they can use in their day-to-day working lives as
well as take to the boardroom.”
SSON is an idea generator, an approach validator, giving shared
services and outsourcing professionals a starting point and
challenging all industry players to continue to raise the bar. SSON
has over 7,000 members worldwide, across multiple industries, who now
have the opportunity to connect and communicate regardless of
geographical boundaries. The new SSON website allows users to use:

- Exclusive Q&A forums - leveraging the combined knowledge and
experience of our global network and benefiting from its collective
wisdom
Frequently updated blogs – encouraging continual discussions between
our members and dedicated bloggers

- A library of topical and functional news and articles plus the
latest interviews, presentations, podcasts and webinars from our
global network of shared services practitioners and providers

- SSON’s monthly e-newsletter and specialist e-alerts - keeping you
informed of the latest articles, interviews, industry news, Q&A,
events, videos and business opportunities

- Shared Services News magazine - containing best practice case
studies, strategies, lessons learned, member profiles, interviews,
legislative reviews and much, much more.

Clayton explains: “The relaunch marks the first stage in a series of
ongoing developments aimed at providing SSON members and the shared
services and outsourcing community at large the information they
require to reach the top of their industries and stay there in what is
now a very competitive global landscape.”

Clayton has also advised: “Already in the works are some very exciting
features and functionality enhancements, adding to the overall user
experience and pertinence of the SSON website – our goal is to be the
number one resource for shared services and outsourcing professionals
and we intend to maintain that position.”
