Service delivery model considerations There are three main models that companies utilize for shared services, during the feasibility phase of your journey you should consider all against the drivers for your organization
Captive Shared Services Outsourcing (BPO) Hybrid (Captive + BPO)
Shared services center run in house “captive”
Shared services run in house with selected functions outsourced to a
business process outsourcing company
Finance functions selected for centralization are outsourced to an
outsourcing company
Outsourcing
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a subset of outsourcing that involves the contracting of the operations and responsibilities of a specific business process to a third-party service provider
Back end processes , specialist, niche Offshore or “near shore” (same country)
Benefits Expertise in functions and access to talent Availability to technology that can automate and standardize quickly Business model means that continuous improvement, service level agreements and performance indicators have high focus
Considerations
Availability of talent – company size Business control – flexibility considerations and whether outsourcing can allow Continuous improvement culture – access to best practices and lean six sigma experts Risk - finance is core to your business

Shared Services trends Shared Service Organizations must ensure that their operating model is optimized to improve their ability to respond to change faster and to expand their businesses into new and existing markets
Optimizing Service Delivery
Cost reduction is no longer the sole driver for shared services value Quality and productivity are key focus areas however staff knowledge of the business unit objectives is
becoming a differentiator Continuous Improvement is rated the top initiative amongst JPM Shared service organization clients to
driving process excellence and meeting SLA’s Shared services are being used to drive compliance with regulatory requirements and internal controls
Approach to Structuring Companies are looking for a more geographically balanced delivery capability including more regional centres closer to customers key markets
Cost advantages from initial setup have been eroded due to inflationary economy leading to corporates utilizing hybrid models: Hub & Spoke (main centre close to HQ, spoke centre in 2nd/3rd tier cities), Captive and BPO
Countries that may need satellite centres incl. China, Japan and Russia due to local language & complex processes
Competitive Advantage Expanded scope – New markets, New Functions, Global Business Services Knowledge Based Talent : Non-transactional Activities Technology investment to improve productivity and enhance analytic capabilities
Business Intelligence Many Shared Services have streamlined their process delivery and are now ready to focus on strategic analysis and business insights
Move from providing reports to business insights and predictive analytics Future predictions are that analytics will move beyond ERP to third party platforms, cloud computing and
robotics (RPA – Robotic Process Automation)

Optimize scope of Shared Services Center Majority of SSC’s that have been operating for 2 years plus will look at expanding the usage of the centre year on year

Optimization: Technology & Payments Cost Reduction &
Efficiency Companies are reducing payment transaction costs by increasing use of electronic payment methods Electronic payments growth globally is expected to grow by 15.9% in 2015* Manual processes are being targeted in the Procure to Pay process to reduce costs and increase automation Centralization has showcased efficiencies that can be achieved through strategic management of payment run
frequency
Standardization Digital sending of data across end to end process – scanners, encrypted emails, host to host Move to bank agnostic technology (SWIFT) Adoption of industry standard data formats (ISO 20022) for more efficient processing. Increasing use of industry solutions such TMS and ERP eg. SUNGARD, SAP, Software as a Service
Payment Clearing Infrastructure
Developing countries in Asia are upgrading from basic clearing and settlement infrastructure to a more efficient, digital treasury . Improved payments infrastructure, e.g., CNAPS II – nationwide clearing infrastructure with more robust standards (China) NACH – automated settlements with standardized HV / electronic transactions (India) G3 FAST provisions in Singapore, Interbank GIRO in Malaysia
SEPA standards in Europe that integrate ACH schemes, formats and systems
Cyber Security 60% of organizations–both public and private and across sectors–experienced attempted or actual payments fraud in 2013**. This fraudulent activity costs the global economy an estimated USD 400 billion each year. Companies are reviewing payments processes and increasing controls by reducing check payments,
introducing host to host , removing manual payments entirely
Internet Banking Banks investing more and more in innovative technology solutions in mobile / smart banking
Move from PIN technology to biometric identification (e.g. Voice and swipe)
Virtual Branches for submission of supporting documents

Shared Services Risk and Control Shared Services enable transparency across service and better control over the way processes are executed. Strict policies on processes are required to prevent fraud and breaches of regulation
Business Continuity
Key Risk and Control Focus for SSC’s for 2017 and beyond
Best Practices Have a defined business continuity plan for each core payment process that your centre
manages
Given the rapid changes in today’s world
Test your plan on an annual basis to ensure it works
When changes are implemented always include assessment of business continuity process so process remains relevant and accurate

Overview
Majority of the SSCs in China support the huge domestic market and regional markets given the language capabilities
Recently, China has witnessed rapid expansion in its Shared Services space led by strong Government support and investment, and growth in its existing giant talent pool
China has shifted from its strategy of being a low cost advantage to being able to provide quality and value added services Continued growth in SSC is dependent on unique products / services,
innovative business models and developing talent and technologies in China
Increasing number of R&D, IT and Finance activities are being performed from SSCs located in China
China is on the path to develop 21 designated cities specializing as outsourcing centres

The 2016 A.T. Kearney Global Services Location Index
Opportunities Access to talent becomes a consideration as popular locations struggle with attrition
Local language is a major consideration when supporting Asia processes, typically China is serviced from China
Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities within top locations have become popular due to rising costs in major cities such as Mumbai, Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur

Key Takeaways
Majority of the SSCs in China support the huge domestic market and regional markets given the language capabilities
Government has taken various initiatives to encourage setting-up of global SSCs in China by developing industrial / development zones, having training institutes to cultivate professional talent, improving the quality of education and establishing special funds to provide financial support
China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) directed 130+ large-scale State-owned Enterprises (SOE) to set-up their own Finance SSCs in order to increase control and improve financial visibility of the SOEs
Until now, MNCs have been the most active players in the SSC industry but in the medium term it is expected that the Government will become one of the biggest sources of revenue and catalyst of growth in the industry

Revenue / Expenses
SSC Actual Cost vs. Budget
Accuracy of cash flow forecasting

Lessons Learned when Implementing Performance Metrics 1. KPI’s for AP and AR are more easily implemented, GL (Bank Reconciliation) not required
2. Keep the number of KPI’s manageable
3. Make sure you can get the data to accurately measure
4. Revise performance metrics for management at subsidiaries to align with the goals of the SSC
