SSO Week DACH brings together the leaders and companies redefining the shared services industry in the DACH region.  At a time of great uncertainty and monumental change we gather global business services and intelligent automation leaders to shed some light on the simple question: Where to next?

If you’re unsure of your shared services strategy for 2022 and want to hear how other organizations are using trailblazing technology to leapfrog the next stage of GBS maturity then this event is for you. In our current climate, upskilling has never been more important. SSO Week DACH’s panel discussions, workshops and senior level discussion groups will mean you can bring valuable skills back to the office and insight you cannot get anywhere else.

    Key Themes

    Global Business Services

    Global Business Services is the pinnacle of shared services, combining end-to-end processes, a global footprint and multiple functions. More recently they’re also acting as the engines for digital transformation in the organization, hubs for crucial data analytics and providers of value-added services. We have a host of great sessions helping you fast-forward on the maturity curve towards the best-in-class.

    End-to-End Process Optimisation 

    In order to truly take advantage of intelligent automation, garner analytics and create optimum efficiency, end-to-end processes are a must. We address what might be stopping your shared services from achieving that, looking both at traditional process lines such as P2P and beyond to data analytics and non-traditional service lines. 

    Future of Work

    The Future of Work in Shared Services is being shaped by three powerful forces; the adoption of intelligent technology, the shift to a hybrid workplace and the evolution of skillsets needed to provide value-adding services. Against this volatile backdrop we deep dive into how shared services can tackle both immediate problems such as hybrid workplace culture and longer term shifts in the changing nature of work.
