Benefits to Members
Members, with somewhat different objectives, have different benefits. Please email us at tb(at)sharedserviceseurope.com for the detailed Membership PDF of bespoke benefits ESSA provides to you.
Some of our services to our Members include:
a) CEE Shared Services and Outsourcing Directory.
Full access to our CEE SSO Directory, which covers the full East Central Europe region, including Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Belarus and Ukraine. We've migrated our Award-winning print Directory to a robust web-platform, which makes the Directory available globally to our members. With deep-dive details, our Directory will help you connect to your peers and reach out to trusted sources. We have wonderful support from more than 25 cities across the region as we constantly update and improve the Directory.
All ESSA Members receive a Password to access the detailed online Directory, including contact names, emails, telephones - this is the most-complete Directory of all Shared Services/BPO centers in CEE.
b) News and Videos.
c) Research Aggregated.
Access to full range of aggregated research from across the CEE Region. Experts abound on subjects that we know only superficially. So at ESSA we aggregate the best-of-the-best research via multiple partners, including topics such as:
d) Events - and Discounts to Partner Events.
Our Events Calendar is the most-inclusive for the SSC sector in CEE. We include not only our Events, but all events that we think are relevant to SSC managers in the CEE region.
VIP Invitations: When Events Organizers partner with us, we are pleased to offer Discounts to these Events for our Members. As an ESSA Member, you will be invited (usually Complimentary, sometimes with Discounted Admission) to Bespoke and Partner events targeting SSC management.
Our Events.
As an Association, we organize a number of events for the SSC/BPO sector across the region including:
• CEE Shared Services Awards (6th annual), 1st February 2018, Warsaw, www.CeeOutsourcingAwards.com
• USA-Europe Shared Services Summit and Awards (2nd annual), 27 June, 2018, New York, www.SharedServicesEurope.com
• Monthly “Meet the Manager” meetings in different cities across CEE (Complimentary Invitations for ESSA Members.)
• Bespoke events in cooperation with Cities, Countries, or other Associations. (Complimentary Invitations for ESSA Members.)
• Micro-events that are super-focused on single solutions/verticals. (Complimentary Invitations for ESSA Members.)
e) Advertising on ESSA Website for 3-month period.
All new-Member Service Providers will receive complimentary 3-month Advertising on ESSA website, which will raise awareness of your brand and targeted solutions for Business Services Centers.
f) Pre-Decision Advisory.
ESSA provides one-off, bespoke Advisory services to Investors that are considering setting up Business Services centres in CEE. Our scope is limited to “Pre-Decision Advisory” and our role is to provide initial suggestions and “hand-holding” in the early stages, including introductions/vetting of subsequent advisors, direct introductions to City Officials from across the CEE region, and direct introductions to SSC peers already operating in the region.
Advisory-on-Advisory services: We do not aim to replace or compete with large global advisory groups, but rather can give you some local insight into both “global advisors” and “local advisors”, including direct contacts (tele/emails), reputational insights, and references. These advisors can offer deeper insight into locations; SSC implementation; and the full range of services you'll need to make a transition smooth. You'll also need help and introductions to various Cities; Office Agencies and Developers; and HR/Recruitment.
Your contact with us is immediately confidential. Please contact directly Thom Barnhardt, +48-508-143-963 (in Poland); tb@SharedServicesEurope.com
