PA to sponsor Shared Services and Outsourcing Week in Edinburgh 23-27 May 2010

With over 500 shared services professionals in one location, the 10^th Annual Shared Services Week is the largest gathering in Europe. The shared service and outsourcing landscape is changing, and this event is an opportunity for business leaders to engage with discussions about the industry’s future and plan a course of action.

PA Consulting Group has over 300 shared services and outsourcing experts working internationally, delivering unique solutions that create real and sustained value to clients across the public and private sector. We combine our extensive knowledge and insight to provide independent consultancy, underpinned by the highest ethical standards, to help our clients achieve the right sourcing solution. Our team challenges traditional thinking, ensuring our clients understand how shared services and outsourcing can support their long-term business objectives across a range of processes. We think differently about shared services and outsourcing rather than take a narrow focus on a single basic transaction.

As part of our commitment to innovative thinking about sourcing, we are introducing ASK:PA at the event. This provides an opportunity for C-level executives in the world’s top companies to submit a sourcing question of their choice to PA and we will provide an opinion within 72 hours*. PA has the breadth and depth of global resources to be able to treat each situation on its own merits and to ensure real value is delivered.

At this year’s shared services and outsourcing week, Tim Palmer will participate in the interactive ‘Horses for Sources’ debate on Tuesday 25 May, and Simon Tennant will be chairing the finance stream on Wednesday 26 May where he will lead discussions on local finance requirements and unlocking hidden opportunities to the optimise the cash allocation process.
