Most LatAm SSC’s handle multiple functions. - 58% of centers in the region speak more than one language. - LatAm SSC’s are not just about routine, transaction processing, and commonly handle higher value process requiring judgement and more specialized skills. - Customer-facing activities have been successfully proven to work under an SSC model (e.g. Grainger, Dell). - Cost reduction continues to be an important driver to implement shared services, but other factors such as productivity efficiencies, standardization, better controls and scalability are also key. - High levels of productivity improvements are common. Organizations are realizing significant cost reductions through productivity improvements and process standardization. - LatAm SSC organizations are increasingly providing support to operations outside of Latin America, predominantly North America (e.g. Grainger, Aero Mexico, Altisource).
