Choosing the right mix in the right shape

• There are different stages of GBS maturity, which imply promising ranges of savings
• From functional (10-30% of savings) to fully integrated optimization (30-50% of savings). And even almost fully digitalized Business Services with savings up to 95%
• However, providing value-creating business services also means breaking down functional siloes, sharing data across the whole organization and improving the collaboration between business units

It‘s not only about cost savings

• GBS help to reduce operating costs and deliver solutions to drive efficiency in the business
• Thanks to an integrated way of working, GBS also help to offer new service offerings quicker and thus help generate additional revenue
