Achieving Real Dollar Savings by Implementing Shared Services – A Study of Business Case Data

The outcomes of a business case can mean a make-or-break decision for moving forward with shared services. It is critical that you create a business case to understand your costs and savings opportunities and be able to demonstrate the benefits of this significant change to your organization. Additionally, the business case creates the baseline from which to measure your progress once you go live with the new model.

ScottMadden recently updated our analysis of shared services business cases we helped develop for our clients in the areas of finance and accounting (F&A), human resources (HR), and multifunction shared services. These business cases spanned a wide range of industries, including:

Communications/entertainment
Energy
Healthcare
Life sciences/pharmaceuticals
Manufacturing
Public sector (government, non-profit, education)
Security/aerospace/defense

We looked for typical returns and staff reductions, as well as ranges for implementation costs and significant savings opportunities. The latest results of this analysis are presented in this report.

Reaping the Benefits from Mature Shared Services Organizations

In ScottMadden’s Human Resources Shared Services benchmarking study conducted with APQC, a majority of participants have been operating for three or more years. While likely not wholly attributable to the service delivery model, organizations with mature models are more likely to show lower turnover, higher efficiency levels, better call center metrics, as well as lower costs.
