Maximising Cost Savings Through Innovative Shared Services and Outsourcing Models

DUBAI, UAE, November 8, 2010 - Cutting costs through innovative agile and adaptable back office
strategies is essential especially as companies move toward streamlining
their departments and overall operations. Setting up a shared service and
deciding what to outsource can be a daunting experience for organisations and
even more so if they have tried and failed.

IQPC has organised the only Shared Services & Outsourcing event for
Middle Eastern & North African practitioners, with confirmed speakers from
Zamil Group, Dubai Bank, Honeywell, Al Futtaim, Mazrui Holdings Company,
Knowledge Economic City Developer, Abu Dhabi General Services, Saudi Aramco,
Saudi Electricity Company, Halliburton, Jumeirah Group, Gulf Bank and Roads &
Transport Authority (RTA).

Following in-depth research with the industry, large conglomerates and
small to medium businesses throughout the MENA region, IQPC has invited them
to attend this summit to discuss effective strategies on re-designing tired
processes for simplification and transparency. We aim to identify how you can
maximise cost cutting and deliver tangible operational outcomes.

SSON and IQPC run the largest conferences in the US, UK, Singapore and
Australia with over thousands of influential attendees and we are proud to
bring this industry leading event to the MENA region. The summit will feature
presentations and case studies provided by senior speakers from regional and
international companies, as well as interactive discussions on crucial
challenges facing organisations. Accompanying the conference on 13 and 16
February 2011 are in-depth workshops providing a detailed examination into
establishing and improving shared services operations and driving out costs
and creating efficiencies on your back-office functions.
