      Acknowledgements

      I would dedicate this book to Minakshi Bhattacharyya (my wife) and Utsav Singh Bhamra (my son). I owe my voice to the blessings of my parents Dr. Surjan Singh Bhamra (my father) and Ravinder Kaur (my mother). I do reciprocate the warmth of my brother (Gurpinder Singh Bhamra) and his family.

      I also want to acknowledge the support of all my friends and well-wishers in this endeavor. I also want to express gratitude to Shared Services Outsourcing Network for lending me space to publish some of these writings.

      Preface

      The incubation of shared services evolved in the early-1990s with a multitude of organizations that climbed on this bandwagon to reap the benefits of reduced costs and improve the service levels. Shared services set ups emerged first in the US followed by similar centers in Europe and later the model was extended to Asia and other parts of the globe. In today’s environment many organizations are leveraging shared services to deliver value add to their customers apart from the routine processing tasks.

      This e-Book is a compilation of my articles on various facets of shared services. My idea of publishing this e-Book is to connect with a wider set of readers and inculcate awareness on shifts and trends which may re-define the artifacts of shared services.

      The articles listed in this e-Book include topics like domestic shared services, process transformations, jobs, education, data and ERP, social media etc. The writings have been enriched by incorporating appropriate reference material where ever necessary. Hence the readers will gain from these insights and thereby enhance their knowledge on the above mentioned topics.

      Writing this e-book has been a fascinating experience for me by accessing and learning from the global repositories of knowledge. Over the past ten months I have been trying to articulate the structure of this e-book including the selection of articles. In this e-book I have attempted to give voice to my niche moorings which may provoke my
