Shared Services
Creating centralised business functions to improve organisational efficiencies and internal customer service
For organisations experiencing strong growth, especially through mergers and acquisitions, shared services can be a vital strategy in ensuring internal efficiencies and cost savings. Creating a shared service structure within your business involves centralising and consolidating the tasks and functions that tend to be non-core in nature and are designed to service internal customers:
Accounting and payroll
HR and recruitment
IT helpdesk and setup
Purchasing and procurement
Stock and inventory management
Sometimes referred to as back office services, business services or support services, Probe works with many clients to identify where shared services can be of benefit, and to implement strategies to smoothly transition from a decentralised organisational structure to a centralised structure.
