Vendor Analysis
published on Oct 28, 2013
Report Overview:
For over a decade, BT Global Services (BTGS) has been delivering shared services in the U.K. to local agencies, such as councils, police and fire authorities, typically as part of multi-process long-term outsourcing contracts. The market dynamics have changed since the government unveiled its austerity measures in the 2010 budget. Demand has largely changed from multi-process long-term partnership deals to single process shorter term opportunities. As a result, in 2011/12, BTGS set up a shared service center in South Tyneside to deliver standardized generic services U.K.-wide, using a Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) model to lower platform costs through shared infrastructure and multi-tenancy. A number of recent contract wins support BTGS's new strategy for shared services.
