A global private equity fund seeking to combine back office functions of four of its independent operating companies with over 80 field locations, employed SSA & Company to strategize and implement shared services under one operating entity.  SSA paired with each portfolio company to assess its accounting, tax, HR, IT, procurement, environmental health and safety, security, and legal departments to identify performance improvements and infrastructure platform requirements. Using key analytics, the SSA team documented key processes, organized maturity assessments, conducted spend decomposition, informational technology architecture and roadmap, and designed the future state organization, processes, infrastructure and governance. As a result, SSA delivered more than $20 million in savings within the first year and helped build a scalable platform for all operating companies.
