About the Managed Certification® and Online Learning Program
The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network's (SSON) NEW managed certification® and Online Learning program (http://www.ssonetwork.com/topic_detail.aspx?id=7516&ekfrm=6) for global Shared Services & Outsourcing Professionals provides process-specific training and skills management to the business services community at large.
The new SSON managed certification® - Shared Services Outsourcing Professional (SSOP) - fills a much-needed gap in the skill level of the current shared services talent pool.
"I was extremely pleased to find out that the SSON will be launching a Shared Services & Outsourcing Management Certification program. An effective shared services professional needs a unique and diverse set of competencies to complement the financial and technical skills they usually bring to the table. This Certification will no doubt help all of us recognize and develop our people for careers in shared services, which can be leveraged through all of our product offerings and sourcing options." Ira Fialkow, CEMEX USA Shared Services
