SSOW - Shared Services & Outsourcing Week Autumn Conference 2024

September 16-19, 2024 - Houston, TX, United States

SSOW is the World's Largest and Most Trusted Shared Services and Global Business Services Event Series. Period.

Elevating the Experience in the End-to-End Journey

The Shared Services and Outsourcing Week Series identifies and maps the trends in the business services industry. This September, we converge around the aspiration of the end-to-end process, through the lens of customer experience to deliver the increased value year on year that a shared services organization expects to deliver.

While service delivery will always be the cornerstone of a successful SSO, organizations are starting to put equal emphasis on managing stakeholder experience, whether that stakeholder is the employee, the partner or the customer. SSOW has gotten the message, delivering its own unforgettable experiences to its audience with each event. On September 16-19 in Houston, our attendees will walk away with a roadmap to get to an end-to-end process, while keeping the customer front-of-mind.

This event is co-located with Higher Education Shared Services & Outsourcing Week, allowing the chance to rub elbows with other industries of shared services leaders
