Public Sector Shared Services Companies - can they deliver?

 
Throughout the public sector organisations are looking to reduce their back office operating costs by establishing Shared Service Centres ( SSC). In some scenarios two or more public organisations are coming together to form separate legal entities with the mandate to develop shared services by reducing costs for the client organisations and by attracting new clients to the SSC.

Recent examples are:

East Midlands Shared Services ( EMSS)

Multi Force Shared Services

Cosocius ( Cheshire West and East Councils)

Please add to list and highlight your concerns about the viability long term of the respective SSC organisations

    Cosocius ( Cheshire West and East Councils) launch has been delayed until May. They are still looking for their first external client following Wirral's decision to pull out of discussions

    Liverpool Direct Limited (LDL) have split with their long time partner BT ( original contract signed in 2000) and looking to replace SAP financials with Oracle to create an integrated ERP solution offering to their clients

    So what are the chances of Cosocius and LDL hooking up and forming a North West Shared Services Centre?
