Shared Services - RPI Consultants

Setting Up Shared Services

Design, Build, Deploy, & Optimize Shared Service Centers

Shared Services is the consolidation and centralization of back-office and administrative operations that are used by multiple departments – such as Accounts Payable, Human Resources, and Supply Chain Management. Through Shared Services, individual divisions can focus more resources on their specific goals and outcomes.

Shared services are cost-efficient because they centralize back-office and administrative operations to reduce redundancy. The cost of Shared Services is absorbed by the company overall or shared through internal chargebacks to divisions on a per-use basis.

Combining past experience with industry best practices, RPI Consultants has refined a methodology for the design and deployment of Shared Services. Our process takes advantage of market leading enterprise technologies but relies on customized solutions tailored to meet the unique goals of each organization.
