In the past decade, companies have increasingly been opening factories and offices in China, India and other countries in an endless chase for lowest-cost, high quality labor and to enter new markets. The result has been mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and new subsidiaries. In the midst of this global expansion, enterprises have turned their focus to global efficiency, cost reduction and regulatory compliance, pursuing uniform and consistent process strategies including shared services. While doing all this and more, enterprises want to be flexible, agile and swift to respond to today’s ever-changing, unpredictable and hyper competitive business environment.
They want to be able to achieve all this and still focus on their core competencies.
