centres. As one can see from the accompanying Tholons Top 100 locations listings, cities across the CEE region continue to improve. While cities within the region compete aggressively against each other to win new international investment, the region as a whole is firmly planted on the global landscape among multinationals – and continues to attract substantial new business-services projects. Factors driving growth include sustained ICT adoption rates, strong technical and languages education, and a generally more skilled and mobile workforce. The ecosystem of support for the SSC/
BPO sector continues to strengthen and the quality of senior-level and mid-level management talent makes it far easier to accelerate a new-entry. For global corporations, the lure of improved bottom lines is simply too great a reward for service buyers not to explore their options outside of their

providers alike. Cultural proximity to western Europe and the US, physical proximity to Europe, superb European language skills, strong IT and technical backgrounds, and stilllow operating costs mean that the CEE region is clearly on the “radar screen” in boardrooms across the globe.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory Romania, perhaps the only country to rival the scale of Poland, is coming up strong, with Bucharest’s Class A office developments presaging a significant wave of investment in the business services sector. Cluj, Timisora and Iasi are some of the secondary cities in Romania that are keenly-aware of the benefits of more investment from this sector. Czech and Slovakia have parlayed their early leads in attracting manufac-
reforms and institutional building which aim to bridge the “wealth gap” between western Europe and “eastern” Europe. The region has benefited from the inflow of European Union (EU) investments to the Eastern & Central European region, which in turn has improved infrastructure – including air connections, which are a key driver for the SSC sector, to not only western Europe both also to the larger commercial markets of US,
“Romania, perhaps the only country to rival the scale of Poland, is coming up strong, with Bucharest’s Class A office developments presaging a significant wave of investment in the business services sector.” turing investments to open the doors to large multinationals expanding their business services operations. Undoubtedly, the services outsourcing industry has contributed to the reshaping of the CEE region, and in particular Poland. Poland’s GDP per capita has nearly doubled in the last decade. A more dynamic workforce, contributing to a more balanced economic folio, has allowed the country to cultivate fresh opportunities in the services sector. The country has now emerged as a regional leader in the provision of outsourced IT-BPM services – and is keen to attract a next wave of financial services investment. The CEE region’s recent success has also been attributed to market-oriented
India and Asia. Poland has taken a pole position (excuse the pun) by parlaying its relative economic and political stability, and large and skilled talent pool – the largest in Central Europe – to attract the lion’s share of investment in the region. The country has relatively low costs of doing business with wages and rents lower than most EU member countries. Another obvious draw for Poland with regard to service outsourcing (nearshoring) is its geographical proximity to Western European service buyer markets. Tholons – not alone - remains optimistic on the long-term prospects for Poland, as both a regional and global player. n
Intro
The most dramatic “mover” in the Biggest Movers in the Tholons 2016 Outsourcing Destinations List, are several cities in Poland. Two cities, Warsaw (25th) and Wroclaw (58th), are amongst the Tholons Top 100 biggest movers. Meanwhile, Kraków is well situated at the 9th spot amongst the Emerged Outsourcing Destinations – and the number one city in Europe. Kraków can boast, once again this year, of some big wins recently: Uber’s CoE, Zurich Financial, and Cathay Pacific are top global brands that have recently set up in Kraków. Warsaw – without any obvious strategy behind it - seems to be attracting more financial services firms (Goldman Sachs Technology has big expansion plans), while Wroclaw comfortably continues its embrace of IT and technology firms. Not to be overlooked is the city of Gdansk (and adjacent Gdynia), which has a clearly-stated, wise strategy to not focus on any one sector. Poznan – nestled half way between Warsaw and Berlin – is getting its fair-share of new projects. And Poland’s third-tier cities are adjusting their strategies – Rzeszow for example is leveraging on its local aviation strength to build a position in business services. In the Baltics, Lithuania has emerged as a favorite destination, and is playing to its strengths to attract more Scandinavian firms, as well as high value-add financial services. Budapest – a delightful city of more than 2 million – continues to see its SSC/ BPO investment numbers grow, and the country aimes to spread the wealth to smaller cities like Debrecen (Flowserve of the US just announced a nearly $20 million investment) and Szeged.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory Manager’s Profile
mark has also realized that there is a lot of highly educated talent in Poland, which can support the KMD Group in relevant SSC/BPO tasks, which has open up some new possibilities, which we will explore and most probably realize inside Call-center services, finance and administrative services, etc., during the next years.
Poland: Warsaw
Jens Brinksten CEO KMD Poland (Warsaw) Parent Company: KMD A/S, Denmark.

Please provide a few sentences about what KMD is doing in Warsaw. KMD Poland was established in December 2014 and is today KMD A/S’s (Denmark’s largest IT company) nearshore headquarters, covering all nearshore activities within CEE, with 275+ people, together with some specialized development units in Ukraine and Russia with 35+ people. KMD Poland has both high-end developments in e.g. SAP, Xamarin and SAS, among others, together with more standard development in .Net and Java. The office also performs several SSC activities, with focus on call center tasks and monitoring, plus BPO tasks in finance areas. The office is built on the philosophy of talent development in an attractive work environment, with focus on the individual person’s needs and competences. Explain why your company set up operations in Warsaw. KMD Poland acts as both a captive development center for its mother-company, but also as a SSC and BPO for operational and administrative functions in the KMD Group. The original Board decision in KMD A/S was founded on the wish to get sourced development closer (nearshore) to Denmark, and the scarcity of IT resources in Denmark. Poland has some excellent clusters of highly-educated IT professionals, which cover the strategic expectations for the future of KMD A/S needs.
both in the public and private sector. The strategy is to consolidate our nearshore operation, where we today operate in 6 locations in three countries. Finally, we want to establish competence centers in the technologies in which we operate most, and we have established competence training/academies for young developers, so we can ensure a strong inflow of highly qualified people internally for the future.
What do you foresee in the next 2-3 years? The business has changed a lot, because 3 years ago, KMD A/S was not present in CEE, but today KMD A/S has +310 employees in the region and is rapidly increasing this numbers, expected to be +400 in Q4, 2016. It is also worth mentioning, that the scope has changed from more routine and maintenance related tasks, to highly complicated and sophisticated development tasks.
Advice to other firms considering setting up operations in CEE: Make thorough preparations, especially in the home company, because with resistance and unprepared people in the home company, the journey will be long. The key preparations are simple, such as a common company language, fully described specifications in the common language and implemented processes and procedures on how to operate in the start-up phase, including communication, clear top management approved strategy, plus openness and honest communication to all involved parties, before the project starts. Create an attractive work environment, so that you attract the right people to the right jobs, with the right competences at the right time, and ensure the best possible onboarding with involvement from all parties. Ensure a full understanding of all involved parties’ cultural, human and professional background, because then the parties will better respect and understand each other from the beginning.
Do you provide external services to unrelated companies? We are currently investigating the Polish market for potential market entry points,

www.ceeOutsourcingAwards.com
Biggest surprises about setting up in CEE: Positives: The high level of competences and professional attitude of the staff we have in KMD Poland and the CEE region and extraordinary work ethics and work moral. Negatives/Improvements needed: How difficult it can be to get our mother company to accept the high level of competences that exist, so they do not just send tedious tasks to the teams in KMD Poland. Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved: In general we see a saving of between 35 to 50%, which could be higher, if we placed our office outside Warsaw and/or if we had placed the office in a less attractive area and offices. But seen from a productivity angle, then these extra investments have given better employees and higher productivity, which is why the direct costs may seem high compared with other nearshore countries, but the effective hourly rate (cost per productive unit/hour) shows minimum savings of 50%. Jens Brinksten has more than 26 years of international experiences in globalization and has established companies in 16 countries. Experiences include: CEO for E&Y in Uzbekistan, Director for KPMG’s Consultancy & Financial Advisory Service in Central Asia, Director for EBRD’s Post-privatization Fund in Uzbekistan, CEO for ScriptServer AB in Sweden and CEO for SimCorp Ukraine Ltd. in Kiev. Jens has also been advisor for a number of international companies in sourcing questions, and has been teaching in universities in Central Asia, Denmark and Sweden in the subject of globalization and internationalization. Finally, Jens has founded several advisory and outsourcing companies (ITP4U, TechOutSys and SBAI), with bases in India, Russia and Ukraine, and he still gives speeches and key-notes in different outsourcing events in regard to how to make the successful sourcing and international establishment.

and adopt very easily in an international environment. The biggest challenge is to understand requirements for the role you are looking to locate in Poland and hire right people as mismatch between expectations and reality may cost you in high attrition.
Anna Jankowska Head of Deutsche Services Polska Deutsche Services Polska, Warsaw Parent Company: Deutsche Bank
Poland: Warsaw
Deutsche Services Polska is a service centre for Deutsche Bank Group, initially set-up as a nearshore Hub for Finance processes for EMEA region, with focus on Financial Reporting, Analytics and Finance support functions (COO, Project Management, IT Change). Currently Deutsche Services Polska is specializing not only in Finance but also in Vendor Risk Management, Real Estate Service Delivery and P2P Operations. Also the footprint expanded – from initial EMEA focus, the Centre now provides global services for DB internal clients. Explain why your company set up operations in Warsaw. DB considered two locations for a nearshore Hub and allowed two countries to onboard Finance processes as a trial. Warsaw team not only transferred all tasks within short period of time, but also improved processes significantly during the migration phase. The success of the Warsaw team was proven and also shown ability for a strong collaboration, partnership and entrepreneurial spirit. Customers value very much that the transfer of processes to Poland is not only about wage arbitrage but brings efficiencies to the process and increases quality of service. There was also a wide range of other factors that made Poland a perfect choice for a nearshore centre - highly skilled and multi-lingual graduates; same time zone as headquarters that enables immediate response and project-type of work; high people mobility due to EU membership and lastly - cultural alignment with Europe that is very often emphasizes by EMEA customers. What changes do you foresee in the next 2-3 years? Initial size of Deutsche Services Polska was planned for 50 employees as

the Hub was considered as a nearhore EMEA centre, for Finance processes only. Strong reputation in the DB Group attracted other divisions and the planned size of 50 doubled within a year. Currently there are 120 employees in the Hub, with further plans for expansion. Advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: The current choice is not only about country but the specific city. Consider carefully complexity of your tasks, skills and languages you require. It may be worth to check tier 2 and tier 3 cities as SSC/BPO became marketable sector that local governments try to attract with incentives.
Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: One of the strongest feedbacks is challenging mindset of our employees – not only performing the process at high level but constantly looking for improvements. Engagement and ambition is also emphasized, as well as education and language fluency. Negatives/Improvements needed: With the growth of SSC sector in Poland over the last years, many obstacles were removed – e.g. availability of office space that in 1990s was often a showstopper for locating business in tier 2/tier 3 cities, cooperation with local governments has improved, support from PAIZ is available. As always, there are still some elements that could be improved – more flexible labour law or simplified taxation rules but this is true for any other sector and not limited to SSC only. Specific cost savings: With any transfer to Poland, you can expect 20-30% savings due to centralization of the service and gains from improvements and streamline of the process.
Employee Issues. Currently there is a wide pool of experienced finance professionals, making the set-up of a new centre relatively easy. Each year there are new investors deciding on Poland as destiny location for nearhore/offshore centres and existing ones are constantly increasing the scale. I do not perceive this trend as negative factor and competition that we should be afraid of, as we have constant inflow of well-educated graduates that learn fast
Anna has over 14 years of professional experience gained in international, financial and commercial institutions.

As the Head of Management and Analysis department at Royal Bank of Scotland, she was responsible for the set-up of MI department and building operating model. For the last 4 years she has been heading the DB nearshore Centre in Warsaw – Deutsche Services Polska.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory growth. The decision to start SSC is now seen as an excellent step. We see however that more an more companies are coming to Katowice and this influences already our attrition rate. Therefore – we put strong emphasis on talent management and retention as well as development of strong leadership.
Jakub Daroń Head of Shared Service Center Dunlop Conveyor Belting – Katowice Parent Company: Fenner Dunlop PLC, Hull, UK What’s Dunlop doing in Katowice? The Shared Service Center in Katowice was established in 2014 and serves all Dunlop Conveyor Belting loacations in EMEA region. We cover customer service as well as back office activities, IT support, marketing, HR and payroll. We are also preparing to start Account Payable and Accounts Receivable operations this year. Our employees provide service in 11 languages and cooperate with 10 Fenner Dunlop locations across EMEA region.We plan to have over 50 employees this year. Explain why your company set up operations: Setting up the SSC team in Katowice in Poland was based on the following factors: attractive and diverse labour market and availability of skills, salary arbitrage vs other locations in Poland and CEE, proximity, cultural similarity and prospects of development of the country.
Specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Be aware that there are more and more players on the market and in some locations the competition is becoming very tight. This impacts already the costs and therefore it is essential to realize what skills are needed and what is expected maximum budget involved. There are still places where cost vs quality ratio is very attractive. Employee Issues. We started with 10 people in 2014 and we want to reach 50 this year. We are planning to migrate more and more strategic processes to SSC as the ones already existing are very effective. Availability of skills on the market is sufficient and salary increase pressure is not as big as in main big locations in CEE. We focus on building a “Customer first” mindset within the team.
How has your business changed in CEE over the last 2-3 years? We have been growing steadily over the last 2 years and plan to continue this

Biggest positive surprises about operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: People engagement is something really amazing especially when we manage keep the talents with us. Ability to cooperate with different cultures also helps a lot within our SSC operations. Negatives/Improvements needed: I still see some possible improvements within the labour law and regulations. Hiring non-EU citizens, contracts flexibility and tax regulations are areas which are still not up to European standards. Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved: The figures are confidential but we have improved a lot our customer experience by accelerating the enquiry to offer speed and therefore became more competitive. We also gained the fresh look on all processes by new people and managed to create savings thanks to continuous improvement projects which were started. Before joining Dunlop Jakub held various positions at Danone, Stanley Black & Decker and Shell. Was responsible mainly for customer operations team management, continuous improvement projects and processes migrations. Graduated from University of Economics in Poznan and Warsaw School of Economics. Has also MBA title from Oxford Brookes University. Contacts: +48 32 661 04 80, jakub.daron@ dunlopcb.com

Employee Issues. NGA HR has been growing over the last few years and will continue to do so in Poland. NGA HR growth doesn’t only mean in headcount/FTEs but also the market share in the region. We are definitely looking at opportunities to have more skillbased services in Poland in coming years and expand capabilities. Talent pool in Katowice/Poland is great. It is a place with lots of young and ambitious people. Of course it has to be channelized appropriately way so that everyone can capitalize on existing and upcoming opportunities. • available talent pool in Silesia region • excellent infrastructure and office space available in the city and growing • very well connected to bigger cities (Krakow, Wroclaw) • to be close to out customer’s local presence where we have lots of customers in Malopolskie region.
Biggest surprises about operating in Katowice: Positives: Excellent and skilled talent pool, support and willingness of government to grow business and opportunities etc. Negatives/Improvements needed: Educational system needs to come close to this industry to work on demand vs. supply issues.
3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Invest in Talent and local candidate Pool. Work as close as possible with local educational & government institutions to build a strategy around growth. Work

Paweł Mleczko Managing Director PricewaterhouseCoopers Service Delivery Center Poland Sp. z o.o. What is PwC Service Delivery Center doing?
Why Katowice? Katowice is the capital of the Silesian region and is one of the major business, industrial and trade centres of Poland.

Manager’s Profile
PwC Service Delivery Center in Katowice provides professional services for multiple PwC network firms, predominantly in EMEA region. We support engagement teams across two main lines of services: assurance and tax. Recently we have also commenced service delivery related to back office functions (Internal Firm Services). Our scope of work is constantly evolving and expanding both geographically and in terms of complexity. Since our inception in 2009 we have been experiencing a very dynamic growth. Currently the center employs nearly 1,000 staff.

order to change the image of the region and increase its attractiveness and positive perception. These actions gradually bring positive effects. Over last six years we were able to build a solid, reputable and sustainable organization which proves our choice of Katowice was the right one. What do you foresee in the next 2-3 years After these six years of constant development and expansion, I still can see a lot of potential for further growth. Recently the pace of growth has been around 2030% on the annual basis and I expect we should be able to keep this pace in the three year horizon. Our customers appreciate the value and quality we bring to their business and are more and more willing to transfer additional activities and services to the delivery center. This was not that obvious at the very beginning and required a significant effort and hard work from both sides. The trust and rep-
Employee Issues Today we have almost 1,000 staff and the number is expected to increase further. It is quite challenging not only to recruit enough and quality talent but then to effectively onboard, train, retain and keep high quality of delivery at the same time. We have recently implemented a dedicated people/team focused programs to boost effectiveness, improve communication and increase engagement and ownership. We already see positive changes in teamwork, behaviors and work atmosphere. In my opinion this is very essential in such a quickly growing business.

This number has grown significantly since the company decided to convert Polish operations into a global design and shared services center to support our teams globally. At this point we are one of the largest global centers providing design and business support services to other CH2M offices around the world. Explain why your company set up operations in Kraków: We wanted to source the best engineering talent whilst continuing to build on our existing team of engineers and professionals based in Kraków, who have already been involved in global projects for the last eight years.

team in this region including not only SSC but also engineering in sectors such as industrial and advanced facilities, transportation and water. Thanks to flexible working hours, our Procurement, Finance and Accounting, Inside Sales, HR and IT teams are able to serve internal clients adjusting to their time zones which in turn helps us build a strong brand. This growth and investment will continue over the next seven years with support from the government via a grant which will enable us to maintain stable employment. Do you provide external services to unrelated companies? CH2M’s core business is programme management, engineering design and consulting and these are the areas in which we serve external companies. SSC supports internal teams as well as the needs of client projects, and we anticipate that will continue in coming years.

Employee Issues. In Poland, as of April 2016 we employ 650+ permanent employees and over 50 contractors. The majority of them are Polish nationals, but given the growth opportunity in our sector we are attracting talent from Romania, Portugal, US, Ireland, UK and many other countries. Both in the engineering and SSC areas this enables us to serve national and international clients to the highest level. Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved: We are still early in the process, but we anticipate meeting our financial goals. We are receiving value from a labor arbitrage standpoint, but also anticipate gains over time from increased capacity. Doug joined CH2M in 2010, having previously worked at Coca-Cola Enterprises and Diebold. He brings over 20 years of leadership experience in the areas of Manufacturing, Operations, HR, IT, and Finance. Married with two boys, Doug enjoys all sports and family activities.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory General landscape on employment market is changing over time. I have people from generations X, Y, Z, C that have a different approach toward work. Each of my leaders needs to know how to work with teams with such diversity, and focus them on the same goals.
Manager’s Profile Wojciech Faszczewski Vice President Coloplast Business Centre, Szczecin Parent Company: Coloplast A/B, Denmark
Biggest surprises about operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: I believe Poland has the most talented, brilliant people and when you match them with proper jobs and create a work atmosphere, they will do an extraordinary job with passion. Coloplast knew that at the beginning but over years this was proven beyond expectations. Negatives/Improvements needed: Being located in Szczecin, it requires lots of effort from local companies to attract top candidates from other parts of Poland. Especially that this region is fantastic for work-life balance. It has everything that young people could dream of. I would expect more creative, continuous initiatives to promote this region and the city of Szczecin.
Poland: Szczecin
Background on Coloplast operations. We support Coloplast worldwide within areas of Finance/Accounting/Controlling, Customer Administration, Sales Administration, Procurement, IT, Digital Marketing, Global HR, Masterdata, Intellectual Property. Our journey began in late 2009 and since then we have grown to approximately 280 employees.

Explain why your company set up operations in Szczecin: During feasibility studies we focused on selective criteria such as access to the talent pool, proximity to our key markets (Denmark, Germany), general infrastructure - and Szczecin came out as our top choice. Additional advantage was that at that time competition from other SSC-type of companies was limited which made the start-up phase relatively smooth. On the other hand, know-how in the market re SSC was very limited so quite challenging to attract employees and to build up an expertise. How will your business change in the next 2-3 years? We have doubled our business in terms of numbers of employees, we have added new areas that we support and spread our geographic coverage that today accounts for around 80-90% of Coloplast business. Looking forward, our main focus will be on unlocking additional values from the setup that we have and diversity of processes under one roof. We will also continue to standardize and make processes more efficient. Do you provide external services to unrelated companies, and which parts of your operation are possible to be outsourced? From the very beginning we are working with external service providers in the areas of local VAT/Intrastat/CIT and other local taxes. We need to be compliant all the time and frequencies of changes across different countries require specific expertise to follow and properly apply to our business. Therefore, we had decided to outsource this area. As of today, outsourcing is not on my agenda, however,
from time to time we test different solutions which are coming to the market. Specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: • Choose location wisely based on your strengths, weaknesses and needs. • Find your own way and setup that fits your company culture, model etc. Build your own opinion how to do this based on different inputs but don’t rely solely on consultants. • Invest in people from day one. They will drive your business above expectations. • (bonus one) Give the mandate to SSC leaders to make changes, to run the business and to make an impact on your company. Support them. Employee Issues. Over the last 1-2 years we have doubled our team and today we employ approx. 280 people. I don’t expect similar level of growth going forward but rather focusing on developing our people. Our development index shows that approx. 30% of our people either move to take interesting jobs in other areas or are internally promoted to more senior roles. I also have several cases when people moved to take up senior positions at another Coloplast subsidiary.

Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved: We are an owner of processes that we perform. For instance, when we started with moving accounting/finance activities to the Business Centre, we have done it 100% so no people have been kept locally to do this job. Today, we have a full accountability for accounting in Coloplast which brings lots of benefits such as transparency, standard quality, and faster integration of changes across the whole Coloplast or improving ERP system to list just few of them. We can take up projects together with procurement or Corp Finance related to improving Working Capital or with commercial side on improving DSO. Our CFO is visiting the Business Centre about once per month and within two hours we provide him with update on all countries. Currently Vice President/Managing Director at Coloplast Business Centre. Member of CFO management team. Previously held senior management position at Electrolux CEE and various finance roles at Delphi Corporation in USA and Magna International in Austria/Canada. MBA from Walsh College, School of Business, USA and BA from Saint Mary’s College, Mi, USA. Married to Anna and father to 2 years old Maria. Contacts: +48785015605, plwofa@coloplast.com

Hungary
Soma Demény HR Manager Global Operations and Corporate CEE GE Global Operations (Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czech) Parent Company: General Electric, USA

A few words about GE’s operations in CEE: GE has 5 Regional business HQs, 21 Manufacturing facilities, 6 R&D centers and 1 Global Operations Center in CEE, which provides integrated shared services to GE businesses across Europe and beyond. GE has a long history and strong experience of developing centers of excellence and shared services in the country. Skilled workforce with good language skills, developed infrastructure and central location/ time-zone along with a rich cultural background and stable economic environment further justify the preference for Hungary. The country is well positioned in international comparison for the development of CoEs and Shared Services. From being primarily finance-focused initially, the Center now provides multifunctional captive shared services to GE businesses in over 35 countries throughout Europe, Russia and CIS countries. As the scope of the Center expands and we become more multifunctional, our focus will now broaden from Finance, IT, and HR to hire skilled people in Legal, Tax, Commercial and Supply Chain. • Key functions include: • Commercial Services
Employee Issues. From less than 200 people on two floors in one building and being primarily finance focused, Global Operations today occupies three buildings in an environment-friendly office in Vaci Greens, Budapest. The campus houses 1,600+ Global Operations employees of which 63% are women. The multicultural staff speaks 37 different languages comprising 80% Hungarians and 20% from 51 other nationalities. Our plan is to increase the number of employees to 2000 by 2017.

Some advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: Talent is abundant and the SSC market creates a fast moving and hyper-modern working environment in the region. Our responsibility lies with growing talent internally and avoiding competing by paying higher. As this is a growing industry and CEE offers a cost arbitrage even at inflated compensation levels, the lack of focus and shared responsibility could un-

Biggest positive surprises (and biggest negative surprises) about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: The publicity and attractiveness of SSC’s have started to attract a large number of talents from around the world. Our career prospects make people relocate even from Western Europe, which is something we didn’t expect. The market is volatile and therefore somewhat unpredictable, despite the general rapid growth of the SSC market. I’ve seen many SSC’s moving out, changing location or closing down in the region. Soma Demény. Hungarian, degree in Business Studies and HR from Oxford Brookes University. Started career in Deutsche Telekom and moved to GE in 2002 where I worked at various HR roles in various GE businesses also having participated in GE’s HR Leadership Program. I assumed my current role in 2014 as the HRM for CEE. Contacts: +36309305888 soma.demeny@ge.com

Manager’s Profile
How did Mylan decide on Budapest? The European GBS Center in Budapest is one of several GBS centers at Mylan. We also have centers in Hyderabad, India, Morgantown, West Virginia, and Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Budapest was chosen as the location for our European center due to its central location to our company’s operations in the region. Budapest also is renowned for being unconventional and innovative, which are core characteristics of Mylan. Further, Budapest is highly regarded as a regional hub for shared services professionals, many of whom are fluent in multiple languages. This is critical to supporting a global company. How will your business change in the next 2-3 years? Mylan’s GBS function was established in mid-2014, and our European GBS Center opened in October 2015. Since that time, we’ve primarily focused on building our team, optimizing our existing processes and establishing our professional en-

migration management during the implementation phase. Contractors also can help support some of the daily operational work for a fixed time period while a process is being stabilized. Interns and student workers can be another great way to augment your staff. Biggest positive surprises (and biggest negative surprises) about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: For me, the biggest positive surprise was seeing how developed the CEE region is in terms of technology, real estate and other aspects of the economy. On the other hand, I think there is a huge opportunity for people outside of the region to better understand the opportunities and career paths available in the shared services industry here in Budapest.
Gabriella Kokai Director, European HR Shared Services Mylan Global HR Shared Services Budapest Parent Company: Mylan, US Background on Mylan and operations in CEE: Mylan is a global pharmaceutical company with Mylan’s European Global Business Services (GBS) Center ocated in Budapest. The GBS Budapest team supports transactional services performed by our company’s Finance, Human Relations and Information Technology functions. We are growing our team in Budapest and currently employ approximately 70 employees – 85% of whom are focused on Finance activities and the rest are focused on Human Relations activities.

vironment. The next two to three years will be about building upon the base we’ve established, growing our team, expanding the services we provide and driving even greater efficiencies in how we operate. Our team is a captive shared services organization – we support only Mylan. We have a strong global operations team that we rely on to drive efficiencies across our entire organization. Specific advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: When determining a location for a shared services center, it’s important to really get to know the area, its culture and its people. Make sure you work closely with your local government and maintain a good relationship with them. Choose the right leaders to set up your new organization. At times, it can be beneficial to bring in external support when you are first standing up your shared services organization. Additional support can be used to help cover the temporary increased workload in areas such as project and
Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved. As you know, the goal of any shared service organization is to improve services while reducing overhead costs. One area where we’ve realized significant cost savings is derived from the location of our European shared service center. The relatively low costs to operate here is one of the many reasons why Budapest is such a popular shared services hub within Europe. Another factor that drives cost savings and efficiency is the process-oriented mindset that is typical in a shared services environment. Even though we’re a young shared services team, we now support more than 20 significant global processes across Finance, HR and Information Technology, such as Accounts Payable, Application Support and Talent Administration. Gabriella Kokai has been working in shared services for more than 10 years. I built my career from being a call center agent to director level through various roles, such as implementation trainer, project manager and operations manager. My main focus area is Human Relations, but I also have experience working within Finance and Supply Chain.

Zsuzsanna Gombkötő CEO MVM CONTO Financial and Accounting Service Centre Ltd. (Hungary) Parent Company: MVM Hungarian Electricity Ltd., Budapest, Hungary
Hungary
Please provide a few comments about what your company. The main function of MVM CONTO Financial and Accounting Service Centre Ltd., a subsidiary owned 100% by MVM Ltd., is to provide financial, accounting and HR administration services for the companies of the MVM Group, which we have done since 2007. How has your business changed in CEE over the last 2-3 years? And what do you foresee in the next 2-3 years? MVM CONTO Ltd. has developed constantly during the last two-three years. It has assisted the introduction of a new version of a single, transparent, modern enterprise resource planning system, covering the entire corporate group. SAP 6.0 has started live operation in 2013, in order to improve the transparency of processes and to optimise costs. In the same year, in an effort coordinated by MVM CONTO, the corporate group introduced the unified management of invoices issued by vendors in the SAP VIM (Vendor Invoice Management) system. In 2015 the first workflow system of the HR service field has been intro-
duced, which improved the security of data flow between the Service Centre and its clients, also ensuring that the data supplies of the clients are logged, can be retrieved and checked rapidly. Six months ago we launched a new service package under the summary name “Creating transfer pricing documentation”. This means the creation of a new service package, which (based on demand) can include the survey of the contracts, the creation of transfer pricing documentation, as well as targeted database research. For the 2016-2020 period, MVM CONTO Ltd. established a strategy which transforms the Service Centre, in order to become suitable for providing an extended range of services, providing a higher added value, to a wider range of clients, thus implementing the vision of MVM KONTÓ:“2020 Professional SSC,

Biggest positive surprises (and biggest negative surprises) about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE. The price/value ratio is high in Hungary, considering that fact that European values and work ethics are present at an appropriate cost level. In Hungary currently the rapid changes of regulations and the laws on local taxation pose a major challenge. As Controlling Director at the Wallis Group, Zsuzsa Gombkötő directed the involvement of 160 companies in a controlling system and performed the duties of Business Director and Managing Director at certain Wallis subsidiaries, such as Business Director of the solar cell factory Dunasolar and Managing Director of the IT company Navigátor. She worked on real estate projects like the Corvin promenade as Business Director of the Futureal Group for two years. She joined MVM Group in November 2007 to direct the accounting functions. She has been performing the CEO’s duties at MVM CONTO Ltd. since December 2010. Contacts: zsgombkoto@mvm-konto.hu

• The mix of high technical skills plus language skills; • Legislation is more and more harmonized with the EU laws, encouraging large investors and international companies, accelerating your start-up and even reducing your implementation costs.
Viorel-Constantin Cucu Regional Facilities Manager for Eastern Europe Misys International Financial Systems (Bucharest-Romania) Parent Company: Misys, with HQ in UK.
Romania
What is Misys doing in Romania? We provide the broadest, deepest portfolio of financial services software on the market. Our solutions cover retail and corporate banking, lending, treasury, capital markets, investment management and enterprise risk - with more than 2,000 customers across 130 countries. Explain why your company set up operations in Romania: Misys R&D centers are established in different CEE Europe cities for specific products: in Bucharest, Warsaw, Krakow and Gdynia, Budapest and Miskolc, Moscow, Athens, and Istanbul. In Budapest we are developing Digital Channels, Capital Markets in Bucharest and so on. Poland is also a very important R&D operation, especially in Gdynia office. All these locations are on a positive growth trend due to high availability of various foreign language speakers, high number of college students and graduates, lower costs of employment than in Western Europe and last but not least high-quality of the software produced. How has your business changed and what do you foresee in the next 2-3 years? Misys has been present in Bucharest since 2006. As the company continues to grow business in Romania, the office premises have steadily expanded from 2,200 square meters (in 2013) to the current level of 6,500 square meters. The continued expansion led to this new real estate transac-

tion, done in March 2016, for about 8,000 square meters in a modern office building still under construction, with a total lease agreement of 10 years. The same expansion situations have been encountered in Gdynia and Budapest where expansions are forecasted for the following 2-3 years. Do you provide external services to unrelated companies? We do not provide yet external services to unrelated companies for the moment but we do have in Bucharest an SSC for internal HR services and a Service Desk for internal IS. 3 specific bits of advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: • Multi-language capability of the staff (for example in Bucharest you can find SSC teams with up tp 24 languages spoken);

What are your personal observations/ opinions about employees skills and capabilities – and how is the benefits landscape changing. When I joined Misys in 2013, our staff was just a little above 200 persons in Bucharest office. Now we are about 600 persons and continue to grow in the same rate. I do believe that the large professional pool of local talents contributed a lot to this. In Bucharest you can easily find professional qualified technical staff and experienced managers and even highly educated leaders which can make a difference in business. Another factor was the openness of the Board who spotted immediately the other advantages of this location. Biggest positive surprises about setting up or operating SSC centre: The biggest positive surprise for me is the increasing number of SSCs in Romania and in CEE in general and the overall excellent feedback received about their growing operations. Improvements needed in attracting EU funds in order to create more jobs locally. More than 19 years experience in Real Estate, Property and Facilities Management in multicultural and international companies (e.g. Philip Morris, British Embassy, Vodafone Romania, Misys). Professional economic studies and Management degree issued by the Romanian-American University and Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest Romania.

Please provide your personal observations/opinions about employees skills and capabilities – and how is the benefits landscape changing. Currently 270 FTEs in Vilnius and 380 FTEs in Sofia (Sofia opened in late 2013 with 5 FTEs, Vilnius opened in mid 2014 with 3 FTEs). We are forecasting the trend to be moving towards more automation and process reengineering so that headcount growth is much less pronounced as compared with the previous years in SSC/BPO sector. Biggest positive surprises (and biggest negative surprises) about setting up or operating SSC centre in CEE: Positives: staff quality and language capabilities in both Lithuania and Bulgaria. Negatives/Improvements needed: office space market much less mature and agile than in Tier 1 locations. Przemyslaw Siuda joined AIG in March 2015 as the Site Manager for the Vilnius Shared Service Centre in Lithuania. He is responsible for managing and developing the Service Centre in alignment with the AIG strategy. Przemek has been a shared service and BPO professional since more than ten years, building and expanding service centres.

Manager’s Profile Bengt-Ake Fagerman CEO of Skandia Liv (Thule) Parent: Swedish life insurance company Skandia Thule will start operations in Vilnius in 2016. Starting with 70 employees in Lithuania, the company plans to raise this number to 250 within three years. In looking to transfer some of its functions to Eastern Europe, Skandia also considered other cities such as Bratislava, Krakow, Lodz and Riga, but Vilnius was the winner. Currently, around 30 specialists are completing recruitment procedures, with another 40 set to be hired in the near future. Successful candidates will then begin an intensive course in Swedish in July, which will allow them to start work six months later. Why did Skandia choose Lithuania for its new division? Establishing a division in Lithuania is one of the stages in the company’s development, which is aimed at improving service administration and customer care.

We considered countries in the immediate vicinity of Sweden. We looked at about ten cities in the Baltic States and Poland, and eventually we chose Vilnius. The reasons behind this choice include our desire to be cost competitive and our need for a labour force with a good educational background. We also contacted several other Swedish companies working in Lithuania and asked them for their opinion on operations in Lithuania. Vilnius was chosen because it is sufficiently large and has a number of universities.
manner, we will create new jobs both in Sweden and in Lithuania.
Since you are opening a division in Vilnius, presumably you will be reducing the number of people employed in Sweden. How did Swedish employees react to this news? I believe that in Sweden we are used to companies transferring divisions to other countries. Skandia is also an international company with divisions all over the world, so this is not new to us. Sure, those people who lose their jobs because we are opening a division in Vilnius are far from happy, but this is natural. Our main goal is to develop our company, to be strong and competitive, and go forward. In this
Did you consider the geopolitical risks when choosing a location for opening your new division? Yes, we did. Sure, the political situation is changing quickly and we see how everything has changed in the past two years. Nevertheless, whether we open a new division in Slovakia, Poland or here – the situation will be the same. Perhaps Lithuania, as a Baltic country, has the least dependence on Russia if we think about national minorities. We can see that the Lithuanian authorities are eager to remain independent and are successful at doing this.

In your opinion, could Lithuania lose its attractiveness due to salaries growing too fast in the near future? We have been carefully monitoring the Lithuanian situation. Lithuania started its growth from a considerably lower salary level than Sweden, and it will take a long time before salaries here reach the Swedish level, even if the pace of growth of Lithuanian salaries is faster.

CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory Manager’s Profile Kim Leandersson General Manager Tele2 Shared Service Center, Riga (Latvia) Parent Company: Tele2, HQ in Stockholm
Latvia
Background on Tele2 in CEE: In CEE, we are operating in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In Latvia we also have our SSC operating since 2004. The SSC has since the start been focused on IT & Technology, but during the last couple of years we have added also F&A and some smaller parts around Customer Service and Internet of Things. Tele2 SSC today has approximately 530 FTE, a significant increase considering we employed approx. 280 persons in 2013. Explain why your company set up operations in Riga. When we first located a service center in Riga in 2004 the main driver was logistics, good infrastructure, cost and in a country where we already had operations. After this we have been through the process a few times to review if Riga is still the best location when we have planned a bigger expansion. Last time was during 2015 and we found that Riga was still good from cost perspective, access to skilled people, logistics wise, language wise etc. This time it was also the fact that we already had an existing SSC with considerable size to build upon and leverage on existing OH functions such as HR, IT and administration. How has your business changed in CEE over the last 2-3 years? Our SSC in Riga has been very much in focus. We have relocated work to Riga from other Tele2 countries and therefore grown both in number of employees and new areas. This will continue to some extent going forward, but with less

focus on growth and more on automation and process optimization. Which parts of your operation are possible to be outsourced in the coming 1-2 years? In terms of possible outsourcing a majority of what we do today can be outsourced. There are no major blockers for this, it’s more a question about effectiveness and efficiency in the deliveries. Also, many of the most transactional based services that normally would be the first to be outsourced might instead be candidates for automation. Advice to other firms considering setting up SSC/BPO operations in CEE: • Get good local knowledge, either inhouse or via a partner. Every location is different and there are always details that need to be handled differently • Get prepared for that the competition around key resources is fierce. • Don’t underestimate the cultural differences and differences in way of communication between SSC and rest of the organization. Employee Issues. We have approximately 530 employees today which is a big increase from ap-

prox. 280 employees in 2013. We will continue to grow up until approx. 600 FTE by end of this year and I think it will stabilize there. When it comes to levels we see a shift from focus on entry-level positions and transactional tasks to more and more complex tasks and senior positions. With this we also see a much bigger need to focus on employer branding and creating a good working experience for employees. Salaries are just one part of the benefit package and with bigger competition this part is sometimes hard to compete with. We thus focus a lot on creating a working environment which satisfies the modern employees, we focus on developing great leaders and of course also on developing the employees further. Biggest positive surprises (and biggest negative surprises) about operating SSC centre in CEE: People are hard working, loyal and English level is very good. The market is sometimes too small, the expertise you need might not exist. Specific cost savings that your firm has achieved. No hard numbers can be disclosed, but there are of course cost savings as well as efficiency gains from scale of operations as well. An average salary level in Riga is approx. 1/3 of same role in Nordics. I started working in Tele2 8 years ago as a management trainee. Since then I’ve been working in multiple different management roles, predominately in the central IT area. In the summer of 2014 I was asked to head up our shared service center in Riga. During this period focus has been on growth, both in number of FTEs and in functional areas we support. Contacts: +46704264038 or kim.leandersson@tele2.com

Outsourcing organisations often ask themselves: • Do our service providers perform well? • How do we compare to our competitors? • Are we achieving outsourcing best practice? Our Corporate Accreditation Programme provides the answers, giving you the insight you need to achieve worldclass outsourcing. It’s based around the NOA’s Outsourcing Life Cycle Model – a framework that has been used, critiqued and refined by over 200 organisations globally. Corporate accreditation with the NOA will: • Give you a full picture of your organisation’s outsourcing maturity • Pinpoint strengths & weaknesses in your current approach towards outsourcing • Highlight changes to be made to achieve cost savings & service improvements • Assure clients, stakeholders & company heads that you’re outsourcing to the best industry standards
”
“The BBC undertook corporate accreditation to get external expert analysis of our processes and procedures for the awarding and governing of our major outsourced contracts. We chose the NOA as an external accreditor because they are widely recognised as being at the forefront of contract management. “In the long term, the NOA’s analysis will initiate the simplification of some processes, and help us create a more efficient outsourcing lifecycle model… that will remove unnecessary costs from our procurement process and lead to even more efficient contract delivery, giving further opportunity to create ongoing value through the lifecycle of our contracts.” -
Jim Hemmington, Director of Procurement, BBC
