Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) announces new innovative best practice research solution “SSON Collaborative Research, Powered by Peeriosity”

SSON are proud to announce a new business venture, “SSON Collaborative Research, Powered by Peeriosity” (http://www.ssoncollaborative.com/), an innovative solution for researching and evaluating best practices.

Organized around the interests of our members, advanced communications and networking techniques used within the SSON Collaborative Research environment ensure a knowledgebase is created through member interactions with the natural outcome of leading companies collaborating on the most pressing common issues they face.

To create SSON Collaborative Research, SSON is partnering with Peeriosity, a company whose founders worked with the Corporate Executive Board to create the CEB professional research community for Shared Services, the Shared Services Roundtable.

According to Mike Hostetler, Peeriosity’s co-founder, “Our experience with Corporate Executive Board allowed us to move from small communities to providing research services on a much larger scale. The Peeriosity design is radically different – we don’t just identify leading practices, we match you up with leading practitioners, so members can benefit from the full story, not just summarized highlights, in an environment that is closed to vendors and consultants."

SSON research partner Horses for Sources' CEO Phil Fersht comments, "The SSON Collaborative Research solution gives SSON peer networking capabilities that will elevate knowledge-sharing experiences between practitioners to a new level unrivalled in the industry. It's vital for operations leaders to be able to share their experiences in an environment of learning and confidentiality and I believe this is the platform to make this happen. HfS is excited by the launch of this new collaborative solution."...read more
