About the Shared Services & Outsourcing Network
Our Mission:
Providing the Global Business & Shared Services community with the expertise, connections and tools to drive change and deliver high value business solutions.
Who We Are
The Shared Services and Outsourcing Network (SSON) is the largest and most established community of shared services, global business services and outsourcing professionals in the world. Established in 1999, SSON recognized the revolution in business support services as it was happening, and realized that a forum was needed through which practitioners could connect with each other on a regional and global basis.
SSON operates under four distinct brands - SSON Digital, SSON Research & Analytics, SSON Events and Global Business Services Training & Certification.
SSON Digital is the leading global online news source, offering cutting-edge content and technology innovations through iconic reports, topical webinars and online events, columns, and much more. Supported by a Global Advisory Board of world-class practitioners, we deliver the information to help drive maturity across the business services industry. |
SSON Events offer access to unmatched networking opportunities, exclusive experiences, world-class speakers, cutting-edge content and the most innovative technology and services. SSON events are carefully constructed products ranging from large-scaled to process-intensive to exclusive senior-level gatherings across live and virtual event platforms. |

Global Business Services Certification provides the key strategies, proven approaches and standardized models that will take your work, your team and your organization to the next stage of maturity, and thus deliver greater efficiency, cost reduction, agility and innovation.
