SSO China 2011: Strategic Shared Services & Outsourcing Summit
18 - 21 April 2011

Crowne Plaza Suzhou, People’s Republic of China

Thought to be the "Next India", the China outsourcing/offshoring market presents many organisations with proposition that is diverse, complex AND difficult. The burgeoning multinational company presence in China and significant growth of Chinese-born companies has driven business leaders to re-strategize their back-office functions. Meanwhile, the aggressive promotion from the Government on exporting "services" instead of "products" has stimulated the surge in this sector. What this all this points to is that, just like in the manufacturing sectors in previous years, China's entry into the Shared Services & Outsourcing market is potentially a game-changer.

By joining the SSON’s premier event in China, you will get access to over 25 industry thought-leaders' with field-tested strategies to:

- Transform your back-office function through better process, less resources and cost efficiency

- Combat high attrition rate more effectively and smartly

- Continually drive greater value and sustain growth of your existing centres

- Benchmark and identify hidden gaps to improve service quality and operation process
