The situation

The company's shared-services cost base had grown with the business but had never been structurally rethought — and the biggest levers weren't tweaks, they were location and ownership decisions.

What we did

  • 01Ran a multifaceted cost-optimization program across the shared-services levers.
  • 02Designed and stood up an offshore captive center in India for IT.
  • 03Designed and stood up a captive contact center in the Philippines.
  • 04Chose captive over outsourced deliberately — keeping institutional knowledge and quality control in-house at offshore economics.

The outcome

  • A structurally lower shared-services cost base, anchored by the two captive centers.
  • Capabilities the company owns — not a vendor contract to renegotiate every three years.
