SSON Impact Awards FAQs


What are the Awards?

SSON's Shared Services & Outsourcing Impact Awards is a globally recognised, annual industry awards ceremony, which honors and celebrates SSC and service delivery teams who have exceeded industry standards in their SS&O initiatives. The Awards take place regionally in Europe, North America, Australasia and Asia.

How are they judged?

All applications are judged by leading practitioners who have been selected for their experience across multiple industries and are exemplary members of the services delivery community. They will be looking for teams who are exhibiting lateral thinking and new ideas – and ultimately impacting their organisation’s bottom line in the name of shared services and outsourcing. It’s not about the size of the project or the budget but the relative differences you and your team are making to your organisation.

Winners are selected through unanimous agreement between the judges – and since SSON and its vendor partners have no influence on decisions, winning an award is a genuine honour and nod to the team’s hard work.

When can I apply?
