Shared Services Teams Need to Focus on Customer Service Too
Companies deploy shared services teams to centralize and consolidate operations of multiple units. These teams can help sales, marketing, finance, legal, and other groups and each department is their customer. There are also shared services groups that are available to service many with few people, such as global marketing supporting field marketing or sales engineering with global sales. Most times this is done via e-mail with several people on :CC, spreadsheets, or not at all.
