Business needs of global organizations are evolving, and so are their Global In-house Centers (GICs) or Shared Services Centers (SSCs). Having established mature capabilities for back-office and middle-office services over the last two decades, GICs/SSCs are now stepping up to focus on delivering value beyond arbitrage. This includes higher focus on driving revenue impact, improving end-customer experience, developing global leaders, supporting innovation, and new product development, among other things. In this journey, GICs/SSCs are intentionally increasing cross-functional collaboration among different teams within the GIC/SSC to make the most of their internal capabilities and work in an agile, more efficient manner, to deliver better business outcomes.
