CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

Productivity and world-class talent key drivers of strong growth in CEE’s Shared Services sector

In this annual business directory CEE Shared Services/Outsourcing Directory (our 8th edition), we have produced the most-comprehensive listing of companies in the Shared Services sector across the entire region of Central Eastern Europe. From the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, the Shared Services sector is

the shortage of labor, the stronger ecosystem of support as the SSC sector has matured, and the potential for RPA to boost productivity and cut costs further. Unemployment rates across the region have plummeted, and salaries are increasing. At the many conferences I attend each year, the speakers are

increasingly talking about productivity and the region’s world-class talent, not just costs.

The sector looks set for continued strong growth as existing SSCs continue to grow, new investors launch new offices in CEE, and niche services expand. Some of these niches include Legal Processes

in full bloom. The region’s largest cities are filling its shiny skyscrapers with global giants like Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Danske Bank, and Uber.

Recruitment firms are running flat-out trying to fill the 100,000+ jobs in demand in just this year. And second-tier and third-tier cities are keenly aware of the appeal of this sector, and its promise to help smaller cities boost tax revenues, retain top talent in their city, and drive major investment.

As I looked back over our Directories from 6-7 years ago, labor-arbitrage was perhaps the major focus of investors at that time. In 2017, in CEE, the conversation now revolves around value-added services, the wonderful talent in CEE,

CEE Shared Services Sector – an Overview

Headline Numbers • A conservative estimate suggests that between 1 and 1.5 million people work in the export-oriented business services industry in the European Union. (SSC, BPO, IT, R&D).

• Most frequently provided services are: IT, Finance/Controlling, Customer Services, Business Support, HR, Logistics and Supply Chain, Treasury.

• Most centers in the Central and Eastern European region have a global reach (about 50% in Poland are from US-based firms) and support 20+ languages.

• The attractive business environment has attracted the world’s largest companies to the region to establish SSCs (Morgan Stanley, Credi t Suisse, BP, BT, Exxon, GE, Citi, Google, GM, Unilever, Johnson&Johnson, Accenture, Deutsche Telekom, RBS, Barclays, Volvo, SEB, etc.)

• The region has driven the sector’s growth in Europe in the last 10 years offering lower labour costs, availability of multi-lingual and highly motivated young talent, cultural proximity, ease of management and improved infrastructure.

• As the sector trends move in the direction of higher value added services, the region is increasingly attractive to investors. Many locations have demonstrated proof of concept (Warsaw, Krakow, Budapest, Prague, Bratislava, Bucharest, Vilnius etc.), so decision-makers are increasingly willing to relocate global business services here.

languages and using their education in linguistics, biology, and medicine to find good jobs inside SSCs. The depth of management has also improved considerably, with mid-level and top-management with deep experiences with international firms.

And the CEE region’s beautiful and dynamic cities are attracting large numbers of foreign workers, who are excited to relocate to Gdansk, Budapest, Vilnius, or Timisoara. This cadre of young international talent makes the region more attractive to global

(Dentons), Engineering and Industrial Design (CH2M), and Pharmaceutical Research (GSK). Global financial services firms have CEE center of the map, with plans to continue to move back-offices and middle offices to the region. The servicing of pensions and investment funds is growing, and the breathless demand for IT talent is unabated.

Anything that can be digitized can be lifted-and-shifted from a high-cost location to a lower-cost location – and we are in the midst of this rumbling revolution that offers tremendous opportunities to well-educated people in CEE. Some examples include Krakow veterinarians analyzing pet X-Rays for London insurance companies (Capita), middle-office hedge fund services for Zurich fund managers (HedgePole, Poznan), and Silicon Valley “unicorns” tapping into IT talent in Minsk’s HighTech Park.

Yet while the “0”s and “1”s are enabling the growth of the SSC sector, soft skills, language skills and culture count for a lot. CEE’s strengths are not only strong IT skills, but also hundreds of thousands of new graduates speaking European

firms, who need a wide-range of languages, and adds to the attraction of working inside an SSC. “It’s exciting to come to work”, said Andrzej Wilk, MD of Moneygram’s Warsaw operations.

“We’ve got more than 18 languages spoken in our Warsaw office and more than 25% of our workers are non-Polish.”

Robotics and Automation No discussion of SSCs would be complete without a deep-dive into the future of automation. While only a small number of SSCs in CEE are employing Robotic Process Automation, nearly everyone is keen to learn, explore and test the technology. While RPA may not be the Holy Grail, its promise to automate monotonous and repetitive tasks, and dramatically cut labor costs may be a major factor in boosting productivity at SSCs in CEE – as well as alleviate the intense pressure to hire and retain staff. So keep your eye closely on what appears to be the most important development shaping the Shared Services landscape in the coming years.

Methodologies and processes for the Directory Listings In this Directory, we have deliberately avoided the temptation to provide insight into trends in the SSC sector in CEE – there are now ample research reports from advisory firms, associations, recruitment firms, and cities providing excellent, in-depth reports about the sector. This Directory is about the companies – and the top management leading these companies.

Also thanks to multiple organizers of SSC conferences across the region, which are invaluable sources of information (ASPIRE, SSON Manchester, Flemings, ABSL, Deloitte’s annual SSC conference, IAOP Florida, and our own CEE Shared Services Summit/Awards).

I would also like to emphasize our extraordinary distribution of this Directory. We are pleased to have distribution at practically every major event (see above) about the CEE shared services sector, including at our 1st annual USA-Europe Shared Services Summit/ Awards 28 June in New York. With American investors representing 50% of the total investment in the region’s SSCs, we are doing our part to promote the sector to US mid-market firms – literally thousands of firms that could benefit enormously from the opportunities in Central Eastern Europe.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

The core of our effort has been to provide the most-exhaustive listing of companies in the SSC sector in CEE. Our definition of an SSC has evolved over the years and narrowed. While we used to include so-called outsourcing companies, we are now more focused on SSCs, BPO providers, major IT service providers, and R&D centers. We no longer include pure Call Centers or plain-vanilla outsourcing providers. This year, we have a total of nearly 1,000 firms listed – and that number may be one of the best guesses of how many “SSCs” operate across the region. (And we’ll continue to use the SSC abbreviation to include the broader Business Services Sector, Centers of Excellence, Global Business Services,etc.)

I’d like to give a big thanks to our research team’s efforts, led by Maria Ponomareva and Anna Bielova, and the many people who have helped with the listings, including from PAIH, HIPA, CzechInvest, SARIO, Invest Lithuania,

Manager’s Profile

Generally, we consider that some parts of our operation can be outsourced when the processes are mature (standardized) enough.

Availability of resources on the local market and talent pool, with language capabilities.

Willingness of SSC employees to follow process changes, and even to drive changes.

As the local market is rather favorable to employees ( constant big demand) changes are not perceived as a risk of losing a job. So our current position in Krakow is perfect to drive process changes and improvements. The local market is rather flexible, so it allows to really impact the business case. In our Center, the business case (costs/services) is becoming more and more favorable as time passes.

Improvements needed: A little bit lack of leadership and self-permission to challenge processes and habits. This is not a natural skill in SSC, and has to be constantly developed. Customer service attitude needs to be developed as well, in relation with leadership.

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Our Shared Service Center, based in Krakow, is serving 40 Amer Sports entities throughout Europe and North America. Our Center is an internal Shared Service Center, performing Finance and Accounting transactions including compliance, and developing IT helpdesk and SAP support . Our Center opened in 2012 and employs 150 professionals. Recent activities include Continuous Improvement, Change Management, and Robotic Process Automation.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Amer Sports is owning several strong sports brands like Salomon, Suunto, Wilson, Atomic, Arcteryx and Precor, so there was a need for more Group integration of support function like Finance and accounting. As it was the first initiative for global functions inside Amer Sports, Krakow was chosen taking into account the maturity of the local market and availability of local talent.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

During the first 3 years, our Center was transferring and performing financial transactions that were performed originally

in the local business entities. Over the last two years, a huge transformation program was set up to harmonize and standardize financial processes in order to improve transparency and efficiency. This program included Continuous Improvement set up and Robotic Process Automation.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies. If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Savings achieved are 3,5 million euros per year. First year of continuous improvement 25 % of efficiency achieved in 2015.

Additional 800,000 euros savings. Second and third year of continuous improvement including start of robotics 13% efficiency per year, allocated to absorb more transactions with the same level of FTEs.

Herve has a background as Chief Accountant in France, working in a supermarket company for 20 years. Head of Salomon HQ accounting team in France for 10 years, and now SSC Director for Amer Sports Group (owner of Salomon brand ) since 6 years.

Manager’s Profile

Maciej Przybyłowski Head of Financial Crime Centre of Excellence PwC Polska Sp. z o.o.

Warsaw, Gdańsk Parent Company: PWC

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? PwC Financial Crime Center of Excellence in Gdańsk provides services to external international clients. Our main focus and area of expertise is supporting global financial institutions in combatting financial crime in line with the relevant regulatory requirements. Our scope of work includes complex Anti-Money Laundering remediation projects and ongoing support in day-to-day business operations. Our CoE performs activities related – but not limited to – Know Your Customer, Transaction Monitoring and FATCA tax form validation. Established in 2014 in Warsaw and expanded to Gdansk in 2015 with a team of 30 analysts, the CoE has experienced a significant growth ever since, becoming a proven, innovative and quality- and cost-efficient service delivery location. Now, with more than 250 experts already onboard, we plan to hire another 150 people by the end of 2018.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: When working on location study for the purposes of setting up the Center of Excellence, the main factors taken into consideration were: attractiveness and diversity of the local labor market, availability of modern office space with expansion potential and good infrastructure – including an airport with connections to main European cities. We considered 3 cities in Poland

(including tier 2 and tier 3) and Gdańsk has proven to be the right location. The larger Tri-City agglomeration is one of the country’s largest higher education centers, ranking high in the quality and number of both local and international students, with good language skills. Moreover, the region is top-ranked in terms of quality of living, which becomes a very important factor for our existing and future employees. In fact, we observe an increasing number of experienced employees who are willing to relocate to Tri-City from other locations in Poland and CEE. How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

We have been growing rapidly in the past two years, broadening the scope of our services, expanding the number of staff and bolstering our client base. We plan to continue growing in the coming years in a response to the increasing interest of our

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

We have grown from 0 to over 250 employees in the last two years. We have managed to hire both experienced AML specialists and college graduates willing to develop their careers in the financial crime area. As in many other cities in Poland, we have seen an increasing number of new market entrants and those already present in the market constantly expanding in scale. Since we have constant inflow of well-educated talent, I can say we operate in a fair competition environment. We have developed a robust skills-based recruitment model to be able to source well-educated and highly-skilled employees from both local, regional and also international markets.

Approximately 15% of our employees are foreigners; we also speak over 20 languages.

Our expert training and certification curriculum along with clearly defined career paths for all employees support our retention efforts.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Establish a strong management team early in the process. Hire experienced HR leads to navigate local regulation. Focus on staff engagement.

There is a need for local authorities to provide more support and involvement in helping to attract, integrate and retain foreign nationals as well as enable a more effective integration of expats within local communities. Examples include but are not limited to: English speaking documents and employees at registration offices. Secondly, there is a need for closer business – education cooperation with a view

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Since our entry into the European market in 1970, State Street has built a strong presence in the region and today now has approximately 10,000 employees throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our local expertise enables us to offer clients a complete range of financial services across the investment spectrum. Since establishing our Kraków operation in 2007, we’ve grown rapidly and now employ more than 3,500 local professionals in two locations – Kraków and Gdansk. Our employees provide a range of complex investment servicing solutions, including end-to-end investment fund accounting, derivatives processing, securities valuation, financial reporting and hedge fund administration, middle office, transfer agency, private equity and real estate, enterprise risk management, anti-money laundering (AML) and investment compliance.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: In 2007, we established in our first office in Kraków, Poland office in order to: Expand support for European-based clients by building scope, scale and revenues outside the US. Build capacity in Europe to support client expansion and development by breaking through specific location constraints.

Implement client service enhancements by standardizing our global operating model.

In advance of entry to Krakow and later before Gdansk office opening, State Street performed an extensive regional analysis of potential sites which included evaluation against several criteria such as real estate, infrastructure, and market competition. Two of the most fundamental search criteria were also the availability of potential workforce in the new location and the access to university well-educated candidates. Political and economic stability were included amongst other factors.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

The range and complexity of services have increased whilst low-complexity activities have been transferred to Asia.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

State Street has dynamically grown from 72 employees in 2007, through to 2200 in December, 2015 to more than 3500 staff presently and has plans to increase this number by end of 2018. There are many impressive things about the local workforce including a very strong work ethic, a desire to succeed, high levels of education and ambition.

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: We were very positively surprised by how quickly we were able to hire and grow after initially setting up operations. The strong pipeline alongside an ability to consistently deliver a very high standard of service helped us build a strong reputation and increase demand for further expansion in Poland.

Improvements needed:

to ensuring students gain both theoretical and practical knowledge during their studies.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Owing to introduction of hot-desking and flex-work arrangements State Street has increased its capacity by 15%.

Alex began his career at State Street in Boston over 17 years ago and has since held managerial and leadership positions in a number of locations including Cape Town, London and Krakow. After 7 years in Krakow, Alex relocated to Gdansk to lead the opening of the new office location in January, 2016. As General Manager in Gdansk, he provides local oversight and governance over the Gdansk management team, support and corporate functions as well as representing State Street in local market forums, universities and business associations. He is Poland’s Global Services Off-Shore lead with responsibility for a team of over 700 staff providing a range of financial services for clients based in Luxembourg, Ireland, and Switzerland.

Manager’s Profile

David John Deane

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

Sales Bid Director Fujitsu EMEIA Fujitsu Łódź Parent Company: Fujitsu, Tokyo, Japan

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? As part of its expansion plans, following an 18 month project to find the most suitable location, Fujitsu decided on setting up a Center in Poland, more specifically, in Łódź. This start up in 2008, began from zero heads (I was employee number one) and is now fast approaching 2000 – quite exponential growth which has required an extremely strong, focused workforce.

Whilst the original focus was on IT service desk operations, the center now has a RIM department (Remote Infrastructure Management which provides 2nd and 3rd line support) an R&D Unit (Research and Development), Service Delivery Management (supporting all ITIL functions) and a BPO unit providing financial services internally within Europe.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Ignore the maxim that CEE is simply cheap and your P&L will benefit: open your mind to the fact that there is huge skill potential in the region. Choose your location carefully to avoid saturated areas which will challenge your attrition rates. Work with your local authorities and government: this will give unexpected positive results.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Setting up in CEE was a natural expansion to support the centre in Portugal: specifically Poland, provided an excellent pool of people with the appropriate language, IT and customer service skills. Once Fujitsu project team had decided on Poland, Łódź very quickly became the destination of choice due to its size and number of universities – this has proven to be the right decision given the growth and expansion into multiple lines of service.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

I would say the business has expanded rather than changed. Service Desk is still the cornerstone of operations but RIM, R&D, Service Delivery Management and finance BPO are all testament to this expansion. The future: absolutely nothing is off the table and there is every intention to continue with growth and additional services – nothing confirmed as we work thru the MTP’s but I would say: “watch this space”.

18

outsource any of our services. Customers, both internal and external are very focused on Fujitsu providing from within so I do not anticipate any take-over talks in the coming years.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies. If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

No is the answer to the first question and as of today, there is no intention to

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

In the last 2 years, the center has doubled in size. This increase will continue but it is difficult to predict exactly how many as this depends on winning new business – there is currently a very healthy pipeline of potential customers so, I would say, growth is inevitable amd in my current role, my driving force is to win this business against strong competition. With regards employee skills, Poland is very much ahead of the curve in the training of its people through its fine universities and increasingly, a strong management workforce is coming through the system. With regards benefits, of course, the workforce is very mobile,

www.ceeOutsourcingAwards.com

therefore Fujitsu has happily introduced a number of retention programs. Finding the right IT skills is more challenging as Poland continues to grow in the IT sector although the bigger issue Fujitsu has is finding people with the right language skills: English is fine but German and others are increasingly difficult.

Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre in CEE? Positives: Skills of the workforce: with any project such as setting up a centre, one is reliant on the information provided. I am pleased to say that Łódź has never disappointed and we have a strong, skilled workforce.

Work ethics and desire to grow: all staff want to continue on their learning journey and as Fujitsu has expanded its operations, this has proven invaluable. Support from the local authorities.

Improvements needed: Tough one: how to improve perception of CEE in the West: we are not just cheap and cheerful but have real skills to offer. Paperwork – needs automation. Sounds a small point but this takes up so many people’s time.

Law needs to be looked at. Universities seem entrenched in old ways of doing things and should see international companies as more of a partner.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

This is a moving feast and will depend on the specific customer. In hard numbers, placing business within CEE (Poland) will generate savings from 10% to 50%. Business lines will vary, so R&D as an example can realize savings of 75%. These numbers are comparing business in Poland versus the west of Europe e.g. Germany, France and UK. Started in Fujitsu in 1999 with a focus on management rather than IT – how to grow and realize people’s potential whilst delivering an excellent service to our customers. As Operations Manager in the UK, I led 12 accounts across the entire UK. In 2008, I was asked to help open the centre in Łódź and, rather than the original 3 month assignment, I ended up staying to realize everything mentioned above. Last year, I was asked to assume a more global role as sales Bid Director, helping win new business across the entire EMEIA region.

The European number one in Big Data, Cybersecurity, High-Performance Computing and Digital Workplace, we provide Cloud services, Infrastructure & Data Management, Business & Platform solutions.

The reason why we are expanding and investing in

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

In Atos GDC in Poland, we have more than 4000 employees. We have a strong growth plan with more than 1000 new hires this year. On one hand it is always a challenge to get the right skills onboard, on the other hand we are investing heavily in internal projects such as Atos Academies and training to cope with the demand. Nowadays development opportunities and working on interesting projects are really important.

Poland is mainly due to the large presence of highly-skilled engineers. People have strong education and know many foreign languages.

As an international company, these are the most important factors to us.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies. If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

There is a clear shift from standard operations to engineering and transformation services. It is not about outsourcing anymore, but about our capacity to provide end-to-end services, from design and build to the run. We cover the full range of services, and will develop in this direction.

Biggest surprises (positive and negative) about operating SSC centre in CEE? Positives: We appreciate the support from local authorities, particularly in Bydgoszcz where we have strong relations with Universities and the Bydgoszcz Regional Development Agency. We also have good cooperation with PAIH (Polish Investment Agency) and it is essential if you are looking at setting up an SSC in Poland.

Matthieu has extensive professional experience as Operations Manager in the Nexeya Group, where he worked until 2008. Then he continued his career as HR director in Sopra Steria and later as Director of the GDC. He works in Atos Poland Global Delivery since the beginning of 2016, as Head of Infrastructure and Data Management and Head of Automation for the GDC’s.

tional and lower-end tactical operations have been successful, I am seeing more advanced roles being staffed in the centers as talented employees start making inroads into the value pyramid.

In the next years, we will continue seeing pragmatic and broader adoption of robotics and artificial intelligence based on OCR solutions in the region. Given the rapid growth of technology and service-oriented startups in the region, it is only natural that big business SSC’s will start working with local solution providers to innovate customized solutions. I can also see a few business trends scaling to global adoption after being prototyped in the region.

Site Director BD Shared Services Center Wroclaw Parent Company: Becton, Dickinson and Company (New Jersey, USA)

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? We started our European Shared Services center in Wroclaw in 2012, primarily supporting EMEA operations. Over time the center has grown to be a truly multifunctional GBS site covering select global and COE services. Operations are built around the three focus areas of Customer, Supplier and Associate Services. Supported teams include F&A, Business Planning and Analysis, HR lifecycle, Customer Service, Supply Chain, E Commerce, Supplier Compliance and other smaller teams. The growth across the initial years was modest but very impactful. With a US$12 billion acquisition of Carefusion in 2015, there was a significant momentum in the growth of the center to 350+ employees currently. We have recently moved to a brand new technology enabled office building in Wroclaw where we intend to build a health-focused and engaging work environment.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Key reasons behind the choice of location were access to highly educated and engaged workforce based on early mover success stories.

Most of the centers who invested in the initial years have been expanding, and many second/ third tier cities that attracted little interest in the past have been actively attracting investors. I see the industry has matured significantly with more appetite towards Robotics, Business Intelligence, machine learning and other fast-evolving trends given the investments in cloud-based ERP solutions.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Build a long term value proposition - not just a short-term labor arbitrage model; test the validity of the model by engaging with some players already in the target market.

Invest time and energy in building leadership layers smartly, since this is a people business and the onsite leadership who translate the global vision to the entry-level employees can make or break the model.

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? DFDS has been increasing its service capability footprint in the CEE region in both freight shipping and passenger ferry services as well as transport and logistics solutions. We have significant operations in Klaipeda (Lithuania) which is connecting freight and passenger transport with Karlshamn (Sweden) and Kiel (Germany) respectively. Further, we have recently added a freight and passenger route from Paldiski (Estonia) to Hanko (Finland), which supplement the route between Paldiski and Stockholm (Sweden). In Poznan we started our financial and accounting Shared Services centre in September 2013 which caters to DFDS Group of companies in 20 European countries. We have about 200 staff in Poznan and cover the core Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and General Ledger functions as well as specialist areas in Indirect Taxation, Cash Management, Master Data and Continuous Improvement.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: We established our SSC in Poznan for a number of reasons and it would be fair to say that the high quality of the education system, good level of language skills, availability of talent at competitive market rates, availability of suitable office space and Poland’s EU membership all played a role in our decision. In addition, the convenience of direct flights between Poznan and Copenhagen which allow for travel between our HQ and SSC in about 2 hours also contributed to our decision to be here.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

The initial focus of our SSC was all about transitioning and stabilizing our services in Poznan. We now aspire to become a Centre of Excellence and an Employer of Choice.

We have a number of initiatives to attract, develop and retain top talented individuals and this perfectly fits in with our operational excellence objective to move from a function-centric approach to process-centric approach where we standardize and streamline our processes, align them with best practice and harmonize them across the locations we service. The idea is to be-

come a trusted business partner to our local business units and an integral part of DFDS Group Accounts.

Which parts of your operations can be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

We do not foresee outsourcing any of our SSC operations to external BPO providers.

We see our Poznan SSC continuing to add value to the DFDS Group by being customer driven and a role model of our performance culture. We will continue adding value through leveraging scale, best practice, continuous improvement and innovation

and will closely monitor developments in disruptive technologies that can significantly impact and benefit our finance functions.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Make sure you have a thorough project plan that is clearly communicated and championed by top executive team. Benchmark your preSSC local operational performance to provide a clear and objective performance assessment of your new SSC operations. Last but not least, pay particular attention to hiring good leadership for the SSC and relocating existing employees to the SSC who will give better insight into the business and drive the right culture from the beginning.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

55% of our employees are 30 years old or under and about 75% of our staff are female.

This is typical of the SSC/BPO sector so our

www.ceeOutsourcingAwards.com

challenges are no different to what many others have encountered. Key for us is to have a well-developed induction program supported by training and development opportunities as well as clearly defined roles and responsibilities and competency model, all of which will allow our staff to grow their careers with DFDS. Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre in CEE? Positives: The passion, drive and dedication of some of our employees which has resulted in DFDS Polska surpassing our customer service satisfaction ratings last year and being recognized and awarded a Business Leader in Business Excellence title earlier this year.

Improvements needed: Polish labor laws are rather archaic but with carefully formulated employment contracts and the right culture an SSC can certainly thrive here.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Actual cost savings are confidential, but DFDS Polska has delivered the benefits laid down in our business plan.

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Capita Polska is part of Capita plc, UK leading provider of business process management and integrated professional support service solutions. Capita Polska was established in 2011 and in 2016 merged with SouthWestern, creating an organization with over 800 employees and two Centres in Kraków and Łódź.

The Krakow site offers high-end professional services including back office support for: Regulated Businesses Insurance & Life and Pensions, Employee Benefits, Contract Management and Legal Process Outsourcing, Admin and Finance Support for Real Estate, Learning Services, Recruitment & HR services, Procurement Services, SAP specialists for Group Systems, Finance Shared Service for the Group, Assets Services, Transition and Transformation professionals.

The Łódź site specializes in multi-lingual contact centre services serving to Clients across Europe as well as F&A activities for Irish Clients.

is a place for a so-called ‘High-end Intelligent Outsourcing’. The services that we offer are quite complicated and advanced, requiring professional knowledge. Capita’s intention is to expand those services in the next years.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies?

We provide external services to some unrelated companies mainly from Regulated Insurance Sector that operates across different geographies. These transitions and the services provided have been a success story and brought high value to the clients

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

People matter the most in our business.

We have plans for future growth, increasing our team size. Therefore, we constantly train new leaders in Leader’s Academy program, we identify talents and invest in the best ones. It is very important for Capita to give opportunities to our employees in the first place and promote them internally. We put a lot of attention to Generation Y. Young people are very ambitious and the most important for them is the chance to get a professional training and have career growth but also possibility to maintain the ‘work-life balance’.

Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre?

Positives: Very positive and constant support from Central and Local governments.

Clear and transparent approach on grants and incentives.

Improvements needed: Government incentives such as MASP/ SEZ connected with staffing levels may be both helpful and troublesome when over time market requirement or business environment changes. Labor law is very restrictive especially in contractor staff, flexible employment and working hours’ regulations. Simplifying the employee vetting process. Closer cooperation with universities which should create new faculties or programs responding to the current needs of BPO/ SSC sector.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: The decision to set up Capita Kraków Business Centre was made after thorough analysis of various potential locations in CEE region. Poland and specifically Kraków was chosen by Capita’s Board due to several factors such as very proactive Foreign Investment Agency and Investor Services who supported access to government and EU incentives. Another significant advantage of this location is a large pool of highly qualified personnel, fluent in foreign languages as well as the largest number of graduating students per year, among CEE countries. Additionally, location and ease of travel from the UK play a favorable role in the decision as Krakow is only a 2-hour flight from the UK Headquarters.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

Over the last 3 years Capita in Poland has grown intensively. The initial captive business model servicing mainly Capita entities in the UK has evolved into a BPO service provider with a unique offering to internal and external companies. We constantly convince our clients that Poland

Ensure proper government support. Identify location best suited to your business model. Hire people with the right skill set.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

The key reason our clients decide to bring their services to Poland is price arbitrage, however the more high-end services are selected, the more savings will be achieved.

Also, high quality staff and smaller teams can obtain bigger results - hence the savings. High-end SAP roles transitioned last year to Capita Polska, brining 50% savings to clients in recruitment fees.

not only in commercial terms but also in quality improvement. Considering such motivation we are keen to grow further these types of services as this is where highly qualified staff is best motivated.

Manager’s Profile

Aleksandra Czerwińska Head of Global Centre Finance DNV GL DNV GL Gdynia Parent Company: DNV

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Driven by our purpose of safeguarding life, property and the environment, DNV GL enables organizations to advance the safety and sustainability of their business. DNV GL provides classification and technical assurance along with software and independent expert advisory services to the maritime, oil & gas and energy industries. We also provide certification services to customers across a wide range of industries. In Poland, DNV GL has a strong presence with more than 400 employees working within Maritime, Business Assurance, Energy, Software and GSS, with GSS IT delivering services to DNV GL worldwide.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: The Global Shared Services (GSS) with its Global Centre in Gdynia is the organization within DNV GL providing high quality, cost efficient services within Human Resources, Finance, IT and Real Estate Management & Procurement.

The delivery requirements are based on Global Service Level Agreements between the Business Areas, Group Centre and GSS. GSS Global Centre has changed the operation to support DNV GL in becoming more digital, agile and efficient. This is managed through the GSS Global Centre and the building phase will take the next two years. We are consolidating around the larger offices of DNV GL. We have been looking into how and where to deliver quality services most cost efficiently, and decided on the plan to build a global center in Gdynia. We are using new technology and looking at new ways to deliver our services in

a consistent, reliable and timely manner. This will give us a modern and flexible operation with efficient delivery, higher quality, lower cost and larger professional units.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

DNVGL core business is very much concentrating on shipping and offshore industry.

For the last 2 years we have been observing a slowdown in activity in the Maritime and Oil and Gas sectors, DNVGL’s core business, due to oil price reduction and oversupply of main types of ships. Business activities within Certification and Software are growing continuously. Two years ago DNVGL decided to improve efficiency of the organization – and therefore the GSS Global Center was established and implemented. This will help the organization to prepare efficient and digital solutions for the future and organizational development.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies. If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

The concept of our Shared Service Centre was very much created to provide in-house support and only to a very limited extend relying on outsourcing or external providers.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years?

The number of employees in a Shared Services Centre depends very much on the service scope planned to be covered by the organization. The important factor is good access to competent people not only with professional knowledge but also language skills. The tough labor market will impact the benefits offered to the employees and the extended competition in finding and keeping good employees will also be a fact.

The quality of the employer brand and the perception of the working environment will be evaluated in addition to remuneration elements.

Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre in Poland?

Positives: engagement and positive attitude of the employees.

Improvements needed: competition on the labor market.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

It is too early so hard numbers are impossible to provide. We expect around 15-20% cost savings.

More than 17 years in DNV / DNVGL. Experience as Chief Accountant and Controller for core Businesses in Poland and Sweden. For 8 years Head of Admin Hub in Poland. After 4 years of Business controller’s job in Germany and China, Aleksandra became Regional Manager for Shared Services Centres for North Asia for another 4 years. In 2016 appointed Head of Shared Serviced Centre Finance for DNVGL.

In 2014 our Bydgoszcz location was acquired by iQor becoming part of their LinQ integrated solutions and service offering model providing repair and support under one roof.

Biggest surprises (positive and negative) about operating SSC centre in CEE? Positives: One of the positive surprises for us, was to discover several native speakers of European languages living in our city! Another positive surprise was the openness of local schools and especially of our partner school Zespół Szkół Elektronicznych (currently the best technical school in Poland) when creating ZSE iQor Class – a dedicated electronics class. Another positive surprise was the synergy effect from working together with technical trainers on the award-winning ITT (Introduction To Technology) training.

Just this year we won the HR.com LEAN award (3rd place) a global win in the Large Company category.

Improvements needed: From an opportunity standpoint it took some time for our branding to be recognized locally.

BPO companies that work for global brands have their brand always in the background, and yet for recruitment processes it is vital to be known under your own name.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Operating in CEE gives access to highly creative and hardworking people. At the same time, it is still half of the employment cost that you may find in other locations in Europe.

Jakub has over 12 years of professional experience, which of 8+ years in BPO. Before joining iQor in 2015, he worked for Convergys for 6+ years and Bonduelle for 3 years. As a Quality & Training Manager at Convergys he specialized in transitioning new clients, design and implementation of a complete quality model for the site and Six Sigma continuous improvement processes. At iQor Jakub is responsible for two areas: Customer Interaction Solutions and the Education Center. He is a graduate of IT Science and Econometrics from Szczecin University with professional teaching and training certificates plus Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

Manager’s Profile

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

Human capital is the most critical element in any organization especially in SSC/BPO. Building strong, multi-skilled, customer focused workforce is a must when moving from individual contributors to High Potential teams and multi-skilled project groups. What we thrive to achieve is, among others, synergy effect that results from designing age diverse, and therefore competency diverse groups that work together bringing wide spectrum of expertise, experience, maturity, drive, energy and fresh approach. Moving forward it is the trend for the future; we are going to digitalize basic transactional tasks and focus on the highest quality of HR comprehensive services for our colleagues.

Manager’s Profile

Avoid the big centres as the staff turnover is inhibiting. Recruit well and treat your people well, give them demonstrable career development plans and execute these. Focus on service excellence not cost.

Mike Stops Group Director Service Centres, NSG Group Nippon Sheet Glass Group Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary Parent Company: Nippon Sheet Glass Group, Tokyo, Japan

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

The Group has 27,000 employees, Group Business Services is 170, IT Shared Services 500. We are finding it takes longer to attract the right talent, particularly in the niche areas (Brazilian Portuguese) and that we will have to keep an eye on salary levels. Our staff turnover is approximately 5% so we are very good on retention.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Manufacturer of Glass for Automotive and Architectural markets, and supplier of related services to Businesses and end customers. Manufacturing undertaken for global market.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Our Group Business Services team is predominantly based in Sandomierz, Poland building on a highly successful IT Services team. Initial choice of location (one of our manufacturing plants) was due to availability of excellent staff (technical and attitude) and low cost. Initial recruitment was 5 FTE the team now numbers over 200 and provides IT, HR, Finance, Procurement and Commercial services to the Group worldwide. Board decision was based on proven track record with the IT team.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

Growth in service catalogue offered. Growth in Countries and businesses served. I expect both of these trends to continue with RPA

and movement of lower value tasks to China enabling a move up the value chain without necessity for as much headcount growth.

Move into business controls and business processes.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies. If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

We only provide services to the Nippon Sheet Glass Group, we are captive and have no interest in outsourcing in the near to medium term. I do not think we will extend to providing external services.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE:

captive servicing Europe in Finance, Marketing, IT, Customer Service, and number of other highly specialized services.

Wojciech Karpinski, Center Head

Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre in CEE? Positives: Excellent people, retention, speed of set up.

Improvements needed: may be getting to the limit of local talent pool.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

70% reduction in costs. Improvement in quality. Greater transparency across the Group allows best practice to be identified and applied.

30 years working across Information Technology in Civil Nuclear Engineering; Banking; Manufacturing, Professional Services; Insurance. Created IT Shared Services globally with hubs in Brazil, China, Poland and Japan, spokes in 18 countries.

Applied same approach to HR, Finance, Procurement, Business Controls and Commercial areas to great success. Enjoying the challenge and lots more to do

Rosita Vasilkeviciute SVP, Head of Danske Bank Global Utilities and Site Leader of Global Services Lithuania (GSL) Danske Bank, Global Services Lithuania (GSL) Vilnius, Lithuania Parent Company: Danske Bank A/S (Copenhagen, Denmark)

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Danske Bank employs ca. 19,000 professionals and operates in 15 countries, with core markets being Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. In 2012 Danske Bank established its Global Services Centre in Lithuania, which became the key strategic center for a vast portfolio of banking operations, professional services, business support functions and front-end product development. Today GSL employs more than 1100 professionals, working in the global teams’ set-up, in 17 global units. Successful journey of GSL in Lithuania has also led Danske Bank Group to a decision to establish a 670+ FTE Group IT center in Vilnius.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Availability of skilled workforce: 41% of higher education graduates study social sciences, business & law; 12,600 graduates with financial education every year; 23,000 employed in the financial services industry.

Potential employees’ attitude and “can-do” approach, cultural (and geographical) proximity to Nordic countries: Considerable cost competitiveness; Lithuania is no. 3 in the EU for the lowest average wage; 2.5% average real wage growth in Lithuania (2015–2016); Leverage pre-existing business organization: Danske Bank Lithuania had been serving local customers for ~15 years before establishing its Shared Services Centre.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

Having started with out-tasking model approach, the center has grown into a set of competence centers with end-to-end process ownership, business mandate and direct impact on customer experience within a few years. Outstanding performance and trust gained from partners and customers led GSL to expand its primarily operations-oriented services scope tor high-value adding services: Legal, Finance, Credit & Risk, HR, Procurement and niche business areas, such as disruptive mobile banking products’ development, e.g. Sunday.dk. They are expected to continue growing in Lithuania and comprise

2017

at least a quarter of overall GSL staff within 2017. More new global functions are foreseen to establish their teams in Lithuania and a number of competence centers using best industry practices will add-on the 6 competence centers which are currently in development phase. FTE wise GSL is expecting to continue growing, yet not so fast as up till now.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Have a plan that is supported by C-level cabinet. Be prepared to invest in younger talent and grow them in-house. Trust and empower these teams, especially their capability to deal with advanced functions. Be prepared to continuously update your non-financial motivators package for the young generation.

Cooperate with industry peers in order to grow and develop local talent.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

GSL has been employing 1 new employee per day for the last couple of years and currently we have 1100+ FTEs. 90% of them have higher education, others are still studying, all are fluent in English and the second most popular languages are Scandinavian. It is fairly easy to attract junior talent, especially if the SSC has a good training & career development plan in place. However, due to market size and industry maturity, it is challenging to attract experienced professionals, especially in niche areas (e.g. AML, Markets, Risk, etc.).

In the future this situation is not expected to change a lot, hence internal staff development will be key to ensuring the needed competencies and motivating employees to continue their career journey with GSL. As mentioned before, it is also important to empower em-

ployees, to trust them with decision making and end-to-end process responsibilities.

Biggest surprises (positive and negative) about operating SSC centre in CEE? Positives: Employees’ attitude and approach: can-do mindset, pro-activeness, result-orientation, eagerness to make things faster, leaner, better, etc. Easy and productive work with local universities and colleges. Strong support from investment promotion agencies and proactive work in investment environment development.

Improvements needed: lack of peers’ knowledge about the CEE region and its “brand” – it takes quite some time to change opinions and prove western/Nordic colleagues that their CEE counterparts are capable to deliver expected results and even outperform them.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

40-60% running cost reduction during four years of operation. LEAN process management, in 2015 we were able to cover 900 FTE’s worth-work with just 750 FTEs, i.e.

20% efficiency.

Rosia joined Danske Bank in 2013 as Head of the newly-established captive center. In 2015 she assumed global responsibility to set up Global Utilities for the bank where today one of the Utilities – AML is already counting its +200 employees and provide services across all business of Danske bank. Prior to Danske Bank she spent 13 years in Transcom WorldWide S.A. (the last 7 years in Transcom as Country Manager for Lithuania and Latvia, developing, bidding, contracting, implementing and operating large local, multi-lingual and offshore/ nearshore CRM deals across different industries (Telecommunications, Financial Services, Retail and Travel, etc.).

Tommy Fagerlund

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

Managing Director Skandia Operations Center and Skandikon Operations Center Vilnius Parent Company: Skandia Livförsäkring and Skandikon Administration, Stockholm, Sweden.

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Both companies are BPO´s and are based in Vilnius, Lithuania since May 2015. Multifunctional with Insurance, Financial and HR administration as well as Accounting and Financial Statements and Analyzes.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: I have never been working in Skandia or Skandikon before the decision were taken in Skandia and Skandikon to start up the Centers in Lithuania. I came to Lithuania to work for a Norwegian Insurance Company, Storebrand Baltic in February 2012 and during three years working for them I collected some knowledge that was interesting for Skandia and Skandikon, so I got a proposal to start up a similar BPO as Storebrand and I accepted to take that interesting challenge. Skandia and Skandikon made a really extensive investigation were to start up the operations and out of several locations, Vilnius in Lithuania was the best choice for them.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

I see different changes and one is that it´s not so much focus on lower salary as it´s of getting better structured processes and clear routine descriptions to be more flexible and much more efficient for onboarding new employees and reduce cost per unit. This is

also makes very good conditions for automatization. The focus on continuous improvement have become much more important to keep the cost per unit the same or even lower it over time. One important reason way this is possible is the intelligent and well educated employees working in this kind of industry.

Secondly is also the new technique of RPA that is introduced in broad scale, that will reduce cost dramatically over coming years.

If you are a captive/SSC, which parts could be taken over by BPO providers?

There is a possibility for an external BPO provider to take over our operations and it can happen if there is a good match. At the same time we are young companies and it´s not time to do that in this early stage I think.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Commitment of the decided scope and time line have to be done in the highest level of the mother company. Also during the transition process there have to be clearly communica-

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

Skandia Operations Center, 84 specialists and Skandikon Operations Center, 26 specialists. For us it´s necessary to have Swedish as a working language and this always makes it more or less difficult to find personnel to hire. Mainly we educate new hires in Swedish language for 4 months before they can start with functional training and begin to be productive. Employees have high demands for development and we have high expectations as well from our employees. So it becomes a win - win from both sides. We give them a good place to work and possibility to develop knowledge in the fields we are responsible for. The fact is that we invest a lot and in language education and it even makes our employees more valuable for other employers, which means we have to create a very good place to work and great possibilities for employees development.

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: The high standard of the employees we hire. We can say even now that we have already reached some milestones in development of the administration and reduced the time spent doing the work and also have same quality or higher as it was done before the transition. We have made this in a very short period and we also have very good control of our production time and can analyze were we can improve even more.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Well yes we have done some development to make the processes more efficient and lowered the cost per unit. In this early stage I prefer not to reveal any hard numbers. For the future I see lots of improvements will be done and we also with new technology will improve significantly.

General Manager, GE Global Operations Europe GE Global Operations Europe & Russia CIS Parent Company: GE, Boston, USA

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Global Operations is a multi-functional shared services team at GE leveraging scale, working with every GE business and identifying innovative solutions that can be brought to all of GEs operations. Global Operations takes wing-to-wing look across GE to streamline and standardize company operating processes and ensure consistent quality at better cost. We push the boundaries of traditional shared services by being a fully integrated, multifunctional operation at the heart of GE. We’re centralizing support services to work smarter & more efficiently for sustainable growth. We support five functions: Commercial, Finance (Accounting, FP&A, Tax, Treasury), HR, Legal Shared Services, Supply Chain. There are four regions within Global Operations: Asia, Europe, North America, Middle and South America, and their Regional Centers are located in Budapest, Cincinnati, Monterrey, and Pudong.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Regional Centers are multi-functional and leverage common infrastructure and scale to operate large processes. Local Sites complement our Regional Centers by delivering local expertise and support location- or country-specific operations. This is typically work that by its nature must be done in a specific location or country due to business, functional or government requirements. Budapest were chosen as the location of the European regional center due to the presence of GE business

(25 years in Hungary). The availability of skilled workforce, mature shared service presence in the market, developed infrastructure, central location and time-zone – all of that within the EU and the stable economic environment were some of the parameters in favor of our choice.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

GE Global Operations was established in 2013. Our operations in Europe grew from basically from a handful of people to 3500 people in the past 3 years. We operate in 30 countries in Europe and in the Russia CIS region.

We operate through a captive network of regional centers of scale and local sites, supported by Global Delivery Teams (GDT) around the world. We envision ~60% of our shared services processes delivered from a Center, with the remaining work being delivered through local sites or global delivery teams.

GE decided that 65% of their enabling functions would be delivered through a shared model, but 80% of that would happen through Global Operations, which allows the shared service journey to ignite and make things work more horizontally.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

Today there is a multicultural team of 2000 people at the Budapest Center, and 1500 employees in 30 countries in the region. Since the strategy is to carry out more complex activities with higher value added, skilled workforce with good language skills are sought.

Our unique culture at GE is very attractive for potential employees, leaders, and plays a great role in retention, too. The development opportunities and career path we offer is key for talents.

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: We can attract talents not only from Hungary, but from around the world. We employ well-educated talents in the Budapest Center, 20 % of them are from more than 50 countries, 80% of them are Hungarians.

Negatives/Improvements needed: Some specific niche talent (such as particular languages and IT skills) are hard to find.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Global Operations is delivering $1B in cost out or cost avoidance from 2015 - 2017 and an additional $200M reduction in Global Operations’ costs while delivering 10% productivity year over year – globally.

Bjorn’s career with GE started in 1993 as a finance manager at GE Capital Nordic and since then he has held positions of increasing responsibility in different GE units and geographies. Bjorn is a native of Sweden, where he graduated from Stockholm University in 1983 with a degree in Computer Science. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with family and travelling.

Manager’s Profile

Radka Bellissimo Director/Head of SSC Jarden Business Services Group Prague, Czech Republic Parent Company: Newell Brands - New Jersey, USA

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Jarden Business Services Group was established in Prague, Czech Republic in 2015. We are a fast growing Finance Shared Service Center, servicing entities of the former Jarden Corporation. Jarden Corporation combined with Newell Rubbermaid creating Newell Brands in April 2016. Newell Brands is a leading $16 billion global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of well-known brands that make life better for the consumers (listed at New York Stock Exchange).

Jarden BSG team started with 45 employees and grew to the team of 110 over the last 18 months. We provide Finance & Accounting and Customer Order services to more than 25+ Legal Entities across 15+ markets in the EMEA Region. We expect to continue to grow as we are in the Transition to onboard new process scope for existing customers as well as to add new customers from new markets in the region.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Czech Republic was on the short list from the very start of the selection process for its convenient and centrally located position in the EMEA Region. City of Prague than offered an opportunity to expand on the existing presence of one of the Legal entities already established in the market (Camping Gaz CS s.r.o.) and therefore build Shared Service Center as an extension in the same location.

Finally, one of the key decision factors was also availablility of skilled workforce and its foreign language capabilities.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

Our Business Services Group has been established only couple of years ago and we are still in a constant change due to the new scope being on-boarded and more work being consolidated as part of our service delivery model. The SSC industry itself is also very dynamic, especially in the last two-three years.

New technologies offering robotic processing and process automation create new opportunities for making changes to the way how we perform our work and how efficiencies can be delivered even without major ERP changes.

For us it means to look for a different skill set to be able to work with these new automation tools when compared to the traditional

2017

F&A background of typical SSC candidate.

The impact of these changes will be therefore reflected in the recruiting and creation of new job profiles to find different job candidates, mixing Finance/Accounting skills with capabilities in the process development, process optimization and technology areas.

If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over

by BPO providers?

Our Business Services Group has been established only couple of years ago, therefore we do not see any outsourcing opportunities in the immediate near future. However, as the processing volumes increase and we stabilize new scope, some processes and the non-core F&A tasks (e.g. document scanning) could become potential target for outsourcing.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Location, location, location – consider the infrustructure you need and co-locate close to the public transportation and services convenient to the staff (e.g. entertainment, sport, dining, shopping opportunities). Arrange for flexibility to potentially scale-up or scale down the office space as the scope of services could change over time; retain a good office planner to plan the office space sensibly, later changes to the office space can be very costly. Target locations with good supply of skilled workforce, i.e. do not be afraid to consider locations outside the capital cities.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

As mentioned earlier our team has grown to 110 employees over the last 2 years, out

of which we grew by 25 people in the last 6 months, and we are still expectected to continue our growth in the future. The ideal combination of the skills is in the foreign language capability together with experience/ background in the finance/accounting fields.

However, we anticipate increasing need for knowledge and experience with process automation tools, as well as analytical and project skills and specific expertise in other, less transactional areas of finance such as reporting, compliance or VAT. Generally, the combination of foreign language knowledge and finance experience is suprisingly limited, so sometimes compromises need to be made on one of these two key requirements. Retention of good employees is key and becomes harder to maintain as the competition on the market is high due to low unemployment. Also the new generation and younger resource pool requires new recruitment strategies, more employer branding and company presence online and in social networks. We are aslo seeing need to reshape traditional benefits structure to be able to offer more individual approaches in managing the day to day work routines, including possibility to work from home, flexible working hours, part time jobs and more learning/interesting opportunities to facilitate development of new skills on the job.

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: usually great infrastructure in the market, availability of suitable office space and supporting services and functions such as real estate, recruitment agencies, consulting/ advisory services, tax/legal services Negatives/Improvements needed: lack of foreign language knowledge in some candidates, competition on the market for talented resource pool than may put pressure on the labor cost and high expecations from candidates toward their employers that are not sometimes adequate to what they can offer in return.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

Information is not available due to the us still being in the Transition stage, however the cost was “only” one of the decision making factors, during the selection process. We were also looking for increased quality of service – which we are delivering.

Radka Bellissimo, Director and Head of Jarden Business Services Group, leads Finance Shared Services Center of Newell Brands based in Prague, Czech Republic. Radka has worked in Management Consulting, Business Process Outsourcing, Shared Services, Transition & Change Management areas supporting variety of projects and clients from a number of different industries across EMEA and North America over the last 20 years.

Bratislava Slovakia

Manager’s Profile

Christian Schulz Head of SSC Bratislava & General Manager Henkel Slovensko spol. s.r.o.

Bratislava Parent Company: Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Düsseldorf, Germany

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Henkel is operating a global network of five captive and one outsourced SSCs ensuring both - stakeholder proximity (time zone and language requirements) and scale effects for language and time zone independent services.

The comprehensive service portfolio covers 20 processes and 66 sub-processes for functions (finance, HR, purchasing, IT) as well the three business units of Henkel (marketing & sales, supply chain, controlling & reporting, master data, regulatory and customer / consumer services). The center at Bratislava was established in 2006 and is with more than 1,400 employees the biggest of Henkel’s SSCs providing regional services for Europe, global services in many areas as well as covering specific processes for corporate functions.

During the last years we successfully enlarged our service offer with more advanced services. In many areas we accomplished the development from initially transactional to integrated services following an end-to-end process design principle. In the coming years we will continue to advance our service offer exploiting the potentials of robotic process automation.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

After a steep growth in the first years after establishing the SSC Bratislava growth in terms of number of employees was getting slower during the last three years, which was mainly driven by the realization of huge efficiency gains in existing activities despite constant absorption of new activities. These new activities require more advanced skills and capabilities, which is a development of the entire industry. Hence the attraction of suitable candidates with the right knowledge, experience and attitude becomes even more important than before. The same is valid for retention, especially in areas, where centers of expertise were transferred to or established in Shared Service Centers

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies. If you are a captive/SSC, which parts are possible to be outsourced, or taken over by BPO providers?

We are operating since 2012 a hybrid Shared Service network with a BPO partner providing services at India. We successfully transferred transactional parts of various processes (e.g. OTC, STP) to our partner and will also in future analyze opportunities, but will continue with our set-up of mainly captive services.

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: The spirit, eagerness and commitment of our employees which enabled us to establish a multifunctional shared service center serving the world within only a few years Negatives/Improvements needed: Observing the growth of the industry in Slovakia with more advanced requirements to be covered we need a stronger consideration of these needs already during education at university as well as the flexibility to hire experts from non-EU-countries with reasonable lead times. I am optimistic that the initiatives of the BSCF will support an improvement in both areas.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Think long-term: the strategic benefit of shared services is not short-termed labor arbitrage, but sustainable synergies and scale

Christian Schulz joined Henkel in 1995 and held various local, regional and international roles in the field of Supply Chain in advance of taking over in 2015 the role as head of SSC Bratislava as well as General Manager Henkel Slovensko

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: Criteria for the determination of the global SSC footprint were the access to labor markets with highly skilled employees as well as the coverage of all relevant languages in the respective region. The CEE region offered besides competitive labor costs the advantage of providing a great coverage of all European languages. Bratislava was chosen as European location thanks to the combination of providing a good talent market with several universities at Bratislava and many in Slovakia as well as the location being close to the regional hub Vienna and enabling short travel times from / to HQs.

Manager’s Profile

between 200 and 500 new positions annually. In Slovakia, there is better awareness of the SSC sector among potential employees. On the other hand, with growing numbers in the SSC sector the demand for newcomers is also rising fast – this puts pressure on educational institutions to increase both volume and quality of graduates – not a simple challenge, especially in smaller CEE countries like Slovakia. On the positive note, knowledge of languages among employees has improved, as have the soft and social skills of existing and potential workers.

Dr. Martin Dzbor

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

Director of Strategy & Development T-Systems Slovakia Kosice, Slovakia Parent Company Name: T-Systems International, GmbH, Bonn, Germany

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? T-Systems Slovakia was established in 2006 as a nearshoring hub and IT shared services centre for the entire Deutsche Telekom group.

Since its beginning it is located in Kosice, in eastern Slovakia, where it has become the second largest employer. The company provides outsourced IT services to leading European and global customers, as well as business process outsourcing services in financial controlling to the group. In addition to 700 external customers, the Kosice company provides internal IT service to the entire Deutsche Telekom group and its subsidiaries.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

In the coming 2-3 years, we expect more pervasive usage of cloud in IT solutions design, as well as virtualization and softwarization of many IT functions through the phenomenon of software-defined infrastructure (SDx). This will lead to more opportunities for automation and self-service.

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies?

T-Systems Slovakia, s.r.o. is a nearshore hub of its mother company, i.e., acting more like a captive shared services centre that delivers its services formally to the mother company as the requestor. However, the end beneficiary of these IT services are external clients of the global company, for whom we operate, manage and design their IT infrastructures. The changes in this market are in both directions

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Despite losing some 40% of its labour cost advantage over the past 10 years, the CEE region is still highly competitive for locating shared services centres, not only in IT function but also in a range of other business processes. The increase in cost has been complemented by even faster growth in productivity – in all CEE countries but Slovakia, Estonia and Latvia being the likely frontrunners when it comes to productivity growth. The CEE region is advantageous when it comes to people – their acquisition, development and motivation.

Employee Issues?

In 2017 the company has reached close to 4000 FTEs and its annual turnaround has reached 130 milion Euro. T-Systems Slovakia has been steadily growing since 2006, thus number-wise we have been adding

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Capability of the region to absorb such a dramatic growth of the local subsidiary – from zero to close to 4,000 in 11 years. Excellent and consistently high balance between quality of delivered services and the productivity.

Improvements needed: People can show more entrepreneurial attitudes and pursue their ideas more diligently from inception to realization. CEE is a good region for coming up with ideas, innovations and improvements; unfortunately, these are often lost by not being able to “sell” the ideas and authors “selling themselves” in the global context.

Martin Dzbor joined T-Systems Slovakia in 2009 after a successful career in an IT research & development firm in the UK, as well as in academia in the UK. Martin has a degree in Informatics, as well as MBA and PhD from the UK. Since 2010 he is a director and board member responsible for strategy and business development in the Slovak company. In this role he steers critical strategic initiatives through their lifecycle. His design and rollout of a dual vocational education programme in ICT received full certification from the German Chamber of Commerce as the first in the world beyond Germany. His approaches have been recognized as “market-leading innovations in developing digital workforce” by Gartner analysts in their 2016 joint report with Mercer on the state of labour markets in IT industry.

Manager’s Profile

Péter Csucska General Manager Lexmark International Technology Hungary Kft. Budapest Parent Company: Lexmark International, Inc., Lexington, Kentucky

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? A captive, multifunction Competence Centre located in Budapest, Hungary.

350+HC doing high value add activities in multiple business lines: Service Delivery, Supply Chain, Finance, IT, Marketing, HR, etc.

Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: In 2008, when the Competence center in Hungary was started, Lexmark already had a global, transactional SSC in The Phillipines. The aim with Budapest was to provide EMEA coverage in languages other than English, and focus on high-value added work vs transactional. Language skills, level of education, and good location with many established peers have been the main factors in choosing Budapest, Hungary.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

We transitioned from expanding HC ever year to rather changing the mix, continuously increasing the variety and level of jobs performed - up to profiles requiring unique expertise - while enjoying only a relatively modest HC growth. I expect a similar trend in the next 2 years.

350+ employees, slightly increasing/ flat.

Expect a similar trend. Finding employees is a challenge, but very high capabilities and skills are available.

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: It works well. And it is not a surprise!

Do you provide external services to unrelated companies?

We do not perform BPO activities. Even though the center itself is captive, but Lexmark uses a hybrid model where Payroll, IT helpdesk, Logistics, and Call Centers are outsourced.

Péter joined Lexmark in 2008, and held leadership positions in supply chain: customer service center, planning, strategy; as well as in the area of Quality, Environment, and Operational Excellence/Lean. Prior to Lexmark, Csucska held various quality, engineering and supply chain positions in the manufacturing sector with Sanyo, GE and Diebold-Nixdorf. Péter is a graduate of GE Healthcare’s Operational Management Leadership Program (OMLP).

CEE as a region is cost competitive, but not low cost. If cost is the single most important factory, it might be not a good fit. Do not underestimate the skills and capabilities of talent in CEE. Whatever is the activity, most probably there are people who can do it. If they can not immediately, the can learn quickly. Make sure to understand the specific environment/ city. Is it a place where your expats – and their families - can have a life? Is air travel from the HQ and other strategic locations convenient, or not?

Please provide a few sentences about what your company is doing in CEE? Societe Generale European Business Services (SG EBS) belongs to Societe Generale, one of the largest European Financial institution. Created in January 2011, Societe Generale European Business Services is one of the largest players in the shared service center market in Romania. It delivers high added value services in various fields of activity for worldwide entities of the Group (finance/accounting, procurement, human resources, IT, KYC, Corporate and Operations), serving all major business lines of SG Group in 35 countries. We are France and EMEA near shore CENTER OF EXCELLENCE. Explain why your company set up operations in the specific city and any specific factors that influenced the company’s decision: The journey of Societe Generale European Business Services began with the need for a strategic location to sustain and transform European operations of Societe Generale Group. The purpose was, from the early days, to deliver high-added-value services in various fields of activity for France and European entities of the Group and complement set up the Group has in India.

SG EBS value proposition relies on Romania strengths among which a well educated pool of talent who speak several languages therefore able to deliver services in clients’ language, one of the lowest costs within EU, geographical & cultural proximity and belonging to EU since 2007, this being also supported by SG large footprint in the country through BRD retail network which has a positive impact on our employer branding.

How will you develop in the next 2-3 years?

SG EBS’ activity has grown substantially over the past years; from only one SSC (shared service centre) specialized in Finance in 2011, the company developed into a comprehensive one providing a wide range of activity: Finance, HR, IT and the latest line centered on operation and other corporate functions such as KYC or back offices. In 2012, SSC HR was launched to complete the SG EBS services portfolio in Human Resources. In 2015, the launch of SSC IT helped SG Group to extend its IT operations in Eastern Europe.

2017

Societe Generale is leveraging more and more on its shared service centers, as part of the Group’s transformation strategy worldwide so, SG EBS has made the decision to open a fourth new line of activities, Corporate and Operations, in order to deliver services for the head office in Paris and other European entities also. SG EBS encountered yearly growth above 40% since its inception and increased its headcount by 1000 in 4 years. We foresee another 2-3 years growth, likely at a slower pace with further business diversification and uplift in overall value chain.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved?

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory

Philippe Garcet

Biggest surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: Romania is one of the preferred near-shore locations, capitalizing on the solid education system, with a strong focus on IT, Finance & accounting and operations, cultural compatibility and a large scale of foreign language skills Improvements needed: Limited IT Talent Pool Availability (Increase on the Universities programs to increase the number of students), market becoming a bit hot in some activities.

3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Well Educated Talent Pool. Language Proficiency. Cost Among lowest in EU. Proximity with the rest of Europe.

Employee Issues. How has this changed in the last 1-2 years, and what are the likely employment issues expected during the next few years.

Since its creation in early 2011, SG EBS encountered a very fast growth to reach 1000 employees after less than 6 years of existence.

Around 1300 FTE forecasted by end of 2017 vs 910 FTE end of 2016 and ambition to be at least 1500 FTE in 2018.

Savings on operating costs per FTE for transactional BPO services ~50% Paris/London/Hong Kong/Bucharest, my 15 years journey with Societe Generale! So many opportunities to grow/learn in multi cultural environments and acquire additional competencies. Groomed with Finance I had the chance through those experiences to be exposed to project management, transformation, team leadership and risk management. Coming to Bucharest to develop Societe Generale near shore shared service platform was an exciting career move which has proven a thrilling experience so far with the 1000th employee in reach for early 2017
