With these approaches, 4C Management Consulting ensures its clients a leading position in the forward-looking world of SSC and GBS.
Shared Service Centers (SSCs) serve as specialized units within an organization, aimed at centralizing and standardizing a wide array of support services - such as finance and accounting, human resource management, and IT services - to achieve cost efficiency and process optimization. These centers are focused on efficiently delivering repetitive and transactional activities for multiple business units, with an emphasis on realizing economies of scale and enhancing operational excellence.
In contrast, Global Business Services (GBS) represent an evolutionary expansion of the SSC model by offering integrated service delivery that extends beyond traditional back-office functions, including more strategic, value-generating services that aim for comprehensive business transformation, featuring a stronger focus on business outcomes and customer orientation.
Our SSC/GBS transformations are not just a step towards efficiency enhancement, but a strategic leap into the future of corporate management.
Our approach focuses on ensuring seamless integration of SSC/GBS into companies' existing business models. We perceive transformation as a holistic process that encompasses both operational and strategic aspects of corporate management. By working closely with our clients, we develop customized solutions that address efficiency and cost optimization, while also unlocking long-term growth and innovation potential.
Various factors can trigger changes in the Finance Target Operating Model and pave the way for SSC or GBS:
Internal Factors
External Factors
Employees
Technological Changes
» A consistent, continuous traversal of the systemic loop provides timely indications of both minor and major adjustment needs in the Operating Model.
"The challenge of mapping an integrated business model of a global industrial group was big. Markus Noçon and his team masterfully implemented it and created a system that convinces through layout and usability. Despite the different business plans of the individual companies, from construction to production and service, it is thanks to the competence of the team that this has been implemented in Planning Analytics in a user-friendly way. By implementing Cognos Controller at the same time, an integrated system was created that maps the business processes from budgeting and planning to consolidation and reporting. The training of users at our locations in the USA and the Caribbean allows us to develop analyses and reports independently (cultural and language barriers were never an obstacle). Schedule and budget were always adhered to. 4C has repeatedly provided us with valuable ideas and impulses, and through professional methodology has created a system adapted to our specific needs."
