Shared Services event

   The 14th Annual North American Shared Services & Outsourcing Week returns to Osceola County from March 22-25 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.
    This event was mentioned in a recent edition of Fast Company magazine. The blurb noted that outsourcing doesn't mean that jobs have to leave the country. As a matter of fact, one of the participants -- Disney Worldwide Shared Services -- operates in Osceola County.
   Presented by the Shared Services & Outsourcing Network this event series has evolved into the ultimate platform for exchanging ideas, discussing industry trends, benchmarking against peers and building a roadmap for organizations to achieve desired business outcomes. Highlights, include:
