The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) was established in the late nineties to serve the changing needs of corporate practitioners. SSON has the leading edge in international shared services expertise. Our research staff work from international offices (U.S., U.K., Singapore, Australia, South Africa and Dubai) to research current trends and developments in shared services. We bring this information to our members via the SSON website; our monthly publication, Shared Services News; regular enews; organized site visits; benchmarking roundtables; conferences and training courses.
