4 Outsourcing in Business Directory 2010 Outsourcing in still young market with untapped potential may go down as the year everyone in finally got it - that the outsourcing services sector is a tremendous opportunity now, and looks set for continued rapid growth. While sev eral k ey cities (such as Kr akow and Wroclaw) have understood this already for some time, cities in s east, south, and northwest are keenly aware of the opportunities to expand their tax base, off er employment options for their young graduates, and modernize their city with new office buildings and stat e-of-the-art telecom services. At its very core, outsourcing is a labor arbitrage a never-ending search for relatively lowcost, highly-skilled labor, versus an existing alternative. And is well-placed for this trade. And this is great news for large multinationals considering as a shared services or BPO destination. Incr eased competition within means more options, better services, and contained costs for multinationals. By some estimates (PAIZ), the sector employs about 45,000 people, and is likely t o grow to 70,000 within two years. Those are big headline growth numbers, and means high demand f or modern office space, r e- cruitment services, and le gal and accounting work - to name just a few. In this annual business dir ectory, Outsourcing in, published by BiznesPolska Medi a, we ha ve tr ied t o pr ovide an exhaustive listing of c ompanies in the outsourcing sector in. Our definition of outsourcing is deliberately broad, and includes the dominant sectors of shared service centers, and BPOs pr oviding ex ternal services, as well as R&D c enters, I T and software development, and call c entres. Niche services, such as animation work provided f or H ollywood pr oducers, also fit within our definition. At its very core, outsourcing is a labor arbitrage - a never-ending search for relatively low-cost, highly-skilled labor, versus an existing alternative. And is well-placed for this trade. On the supply side, has more than 2 million university -level students, and turns out about 400,000 g raduates each year (by far the dominant r anking in CEE). With major universities spread across many cities, the c ountry off ers multina tionals choices of multiple locations, and relatively different skill sets and c ost-options. T his army of young workers - reinforced and resupplied annually - is better educated than the EU average, and strong in European languages, technical and I T skills, and administration and accounting. The ec osystem of suppor t f or the out - sourcing sector is also dynamic and improving rapidly. T he stock of moder n Class A office buildings has g rown substanti ally over the last fiv e years, and cities tha t offered f ew choices - such as Szcz ecin, Gdansk, and K atowice - ha ve seen big increases in their st ock of moder n offic e space. City governments offer administrative and investor support, as well as potential for tax breaks for employment, grants of land, or other incentives. Financial incentives from the European Union may also be available. And while br oadband ac cess in s countryside is poor, telecom quality and broadband access in the larger cities is often world-class. On the demand side, c ompanies worldwide ar e under pr essure t o cut c osts t o achieve profit targets, as revenue gains have been more difficult to achieve. Not only are there c osts t o wr ing out of r ules-based, repetitive transaction tasks, but fir ms are increasingly aware of labor-cost arbitrage for higher value-added services, such as consulting, financial modeling, pharmaceutical research and advanc ed software programming. And sometimes it s not only about the costs - but the ability t o consolidate opera- Continued on page 4

Main focus includes managerial and statute accounting, reporting to the parent company in Los Angeles, as well as the dealing with incoming and outgoing payments. Gdynia is the first such a service center for Sony Pictures and the precursor to the concept of shared services worldwide. Advice about setting up: Gdynia was selected due to language skills, education levels, skill levels, and availability of the workforce as well as favorable cost profile and availability of office space. Another important factors are that Tricity is located very close to large academic centers. We are in the process of finalizing a grant Innovative Economy, Project is called Creation of common services in for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Michał Gryglewski Managing Director, Gdynia Operations in : Center started first operations in December 2009, employing first 13 people. Sony Pictures Entertainment has created a Finance Shared Services Jarek Zboralski People & Organization Director, Gdynia Center (SSC) in Gdynia to handle transactional finance and accounting support for SPE s European businesses.

10 Outsourcing in Business Directory 2010 manager s_profile_ Dimar Polska Call Center and BPO Headquarters: Łódź The boutique provides better service for less Euros- and is more fun. Employee issues: We employ circa 60 telemarketers, and manage another 160. Support staff circa 30. Has gone up dramatically over the last 3 years. The employee base is mostly young, eager, and flexible; what they currently still lack is individual problem-solving skills regarding new situations. However this is improving. We are sure that things can and will change rapidly, therefore we embrace change. We also have found that we have less staff rotation and lower operating costs than in Warsaw. 8 Operations in : We are based in Łódż, where we moved our call center and telemarketing operations two years ago from Warsaw. Dimar Polska exists since the year 2000, and focuses on telemarketing, call center and database management services for international clients, of whom most have an office in. In Łódż we have a 90-seat call center operation, and a 100-seat call center BPO operation we set up and manage for one of our clients, an insurance company. All our clients are external, mostly from the financial sector. Almost all projects are sales or sales-support oriented (outbound calling). We operate two shifts: 9:00 to 16:00 for b2b, and 16:00 to 21:00 for private individuals. Jasja van der Veen General manager / owner Łódź [email protected] Advice about setting up: Hire an experienced local partner, if you are not present in yet. is developed and in the EU but setting up a BPO center here costeffectively requires local knowledge. Setting up a 100 seat call center for a client, providing location, infrastructure, recruitment, training and management is something for a specialized niche player to do, not a Big 4. Critical issues to be addressed include employee contracting, database protection regulations, and health and safety regulations particular to the BPO sector. You can go the big hotel way or the boutique approach. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: We are reaching sales response rates in that are unknown in western Europe. For example, instead of fighting for 2-3% sales to a database, we are achieveing results like 10%, some over 15 and even 20% results, which nobody expected. Setting up a BPO operation in an old factory, which after thorough renovation is now a unique office location, with high wooden ceilings, large windows and red brick walls in the center of town; Being acknowledged by the client s HQ as currently their best telesales operation in Europe. We managed not only to save costs when compared with France or Germany but as well increase results at the same time. The latter is the more difficult part. Cost savings of a BPO 100-seat call center in Łódż compared with western Europe are much more than 50% on a monthly basis. City of Łodz authorities focused on BPO investments but not overcrowded with clients yet. n manager s_profile_ Amway Business Centre-Europe Shared Services Center Headquarters: Michigan, U.S. Przemysław Siuda General Manager, Kraków [email protected] Operations in : European shared services center supporting Amway affiliates offices in 26 European countries. The scope is widely understood as business processes. We are here because of the availability of skills-educated employees, fluent in European languages, with experience in providing services internationally and also because of competitive costs of such quality services. Krakow was chosen because of its number one position in within service center sector. Advice about setting up: Cost is not the number one factor; staff development and career progression are as important as salaries; infrastructure reliability is a key element. Employee issues: Currently 30, growing up to 100 this year. From my experience growth by up to 300 people per year is possible without compromising quality. Employees possess uniqueness skills, including strong foreign languages. Shortcomings include frequent impatience for career progression. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: Positives: availability of a variety of skills and experiences; Negatives: very limited governmental support. We believe that one can achieve double digit savings (in percentage terms). n

11 2010 Business Directory Outsourcing in manager s_profile_ H-P BPO and Shared Services Center Headquarters: Texas, U.S. Jacek S. Levernes Managing Director HP Global Business Center Operations in : In order to consolidate and improve HP s worldwide operations, the company has established a network of global business centers responsible for carrying out support activities (in areas like finance, accounting, HR, customer support, reporting, supply chain management, etc.) on behalf of other HP units, as well as other companies. There are currently 10 such centers located in Mexico, Costa Rica, India, China, Spain, Romania and (Wrocław). The Wrocław Global Business Center (Global e- Business Operations Społka z o.o.) was established in By 2008, the GBC employed approximately 1,200 accountants, business analysts and other certified specialists. The specific nature of the center s operations requires it to employ specialists who can communicate in all EMEA languages. The center will expand in Wroclaw. In the next few years HP GBC will play a key role in the area of commercial business process outsourcing as well as shared and decision-support services for HP businesses in Europe. HP leases around 20,000 sm of office space in Wroclaw. Advice about setting up: The most significant factors that determined the selection of Wroclaw for the Shared Services Center were the availability of well-educated, goal oriented and flexible staff, as well as administrative support from the authorities. Wroclaw is an investor-friendly city, it helps companies at all stages of business realization. Very important was the great atmosphere of the city, which attracts both investors as well as potential employees. The state of Wroclaw s infrastructure is constantly improving. We are now waiting for the new airport that will be finished in 2011 and the end of all road improvement projects. Employee issues: In order to guarantee the optimal quality of service the typical employee profile requires candidates for the Wrocław GBC to have graduated from university or other tertiary education institution and to fluently speak English and a second EMEA language depending on their job position. HP has almost 1800 employees in its center in Wroclaw. The number of the workplaces created in the center in the next few years will be above As our services evolve we will employ people with 3-7 years business experience with knowledge of at least English and ideally 1 or 2 more languages. n 9

14 Outsourcing in Business Directory manager s_profile_ Hewitt Associates BPO and Shared Services Center Headquarters: Illinois, U.S. Eoin McCoy Centre Director Kraków Operations in : While Hewitt has had a consulting presence in for the last 15 years, our outsourcing operations started in Krakow 5 years ago. In that time, we have grown from zero to 500 associates, and now run two operational centres in Krakow. We run a mixture of BPO and Shared Service (internal) operations. Our BPO operations cover our HR BPO (Human Resources Business Process Outsourcing) service across 75 countries, and our Benefits Admin services for the UK. Krakow is the strategic service centre for all of Europe, Africa and EurAsia, and will be the service location for all future work in the region(s). As our client and service expectations developed over the last decade, Hewitt needed to build a stronger multi-lingual service capability. Traditionally, our outsourcing business has been quite UK/US centric. Krakow as a location was the only location capable of matching our strategic needs:- a developed BPO market place capable of providing the skilled experience we need and a strong academic infrastructure to provide the polyglot graduates, as well as a developed and mature service infrastructure in the city. Advice about setting up: Make sure your organization is ready - a lot of companies focus on the issue of whether the local market has the ability to deliver. Don t lose sight of the issue of whether your organization is capable of delivering on this project too - real estate, legal, finance, HR etc. Have a vision - have a clear idea of what you expect your operations to be. A 3-5 year vision for the centre is important - otherwise, you might find yourself in a different place. You need a strong local team, with strong local market knowledge. Trying to run this from London will impact your success. Employee issues: We currently have 500 associates in. This figure has grown from zero in 5 years, doubling in size almost every year during that period. We will continue to grow towards 800 over the coming 2-3 years. One of the most attractive aspects of the Krakow (and ) market is the strength of the academic stream and the talent of the graduates, but don t confuse this potential with capability. An organization still needs to invest and develop this talent, as you would anywhere else in the world. Customer service skills, market & business awareness, business leadership & strategy and cross-cultural skills - as all soft skills elements - are now widely part of the workforce toolkit. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: We constantly achieve a 40-60% employer cost arbitrage as we relocate the work. This is even before we find any quality and efficiency gains, which in turn help us gain another 30-60% benefit. n manager s_profile_ Alexander Mann Solutions BPO Headquarters: London give you accurate advice on all matters relating to HR. This I believe is imperative in setting up successful operations. I would join ASPIRE, association of IT and Business Process Services companies. ASPIRE provides a unique opportunity for organisations to get together support each other to meet common challenges and to help the wider community in terms of CSR activities. Operations in : Alexander Mann Solutions operates an HR/Recruitment Service Centre based out of Krakow which services over 25 clients worldwide operating in 9 different languages on day-to-day basis. Started operations in Krakow in 2005, with just under 20 people; currently we employ almost 300 people. We started off with a vision of a headcount centre, yet we have almost doubled in size Vic Khan Director of Global Client Service Centers Krakow [email protected] and look to grow further in the next months. Kraków provides unique selling points: a good supply of high quality talent, language capabilities, a stable safe environment and a wonderful place to live - especially for an Anglo-Indian person like myself. Advice about setting up: I would hire a strong HR Manager who has experience in working in the local market and who can Employee issues: We originally had a vision of a headcount center; however due to the success of operations we are almost 300 and will continue to grow further. Over the last two years I believe the market has stabilized here which in turn allowed our organization to plan for our future growth. Whilst there will always be challenges in securing talent, Krakow provides a unique opportunity of a city with over 30,000 graduates per year. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: The ease of setting up operations in, the energy and enthusiasm of the workforce and their ambition to provide a world-class service. n

15 2010 Business Directory Outsourcing in manager s_profile_ Infosys BPO BPO Headquarters: Bangalore, India Krystian Bestry AVP & European Delivery Head Łódż Operations in : Infosys BPO is based in Łódż and it is the only city of operations in. Today the center employees 900+ employees and provides outsourcing services in the areas of accounting, financial consolidation and financial controlling procurement, data management, order management, consulting and business transformation support. We have selected Łódż as our primary location for data services for our customers for EMEA region. Key reasons include the high availability of well-skilled talent, especially with economic and administration university backgrounds, high availability of foreign language skills, central location in, and an excellent physical facility. (Infosys bought the facility from Philips Electronics in 2007 as part of a global deal.) Advice about setting up: The right profiling of people is critically important, as is the need for quite modern office space with excellent IT infrastructure. Polish employees are very open, results-oriented but also a bit critical of the status quo, which allows us to provide more challenging work to highly-qualified employees, including process improvements. For nonconsumer brands, recruitment might become an issue, so strong PR campaign on the local market will be needed -and try to use local investment support agencies to assist. Employee issues: Currently 940 employees at Infosys in Łódż. The center was set up in 2003, grew to 600 FTEs by the end of 2007 and 900 by the end of Employees are very ambitious, flexible and dedicated to work. Polish education system ensures that they can also get trained and manage quite complex tasks within reasonably short timeframe. Still the knowledge of unique foreign languages remains an issue (Balkans, Nordics, Arabic) - not so many people believe it could help on the job market Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: Positive: Ability to learn very fast. Also ability to independently propose improvements based on own observations. Language skills are improving, and universities are adapting to suit and train to our needs. Infosys is working with local universities. Negative: general incentive program for BPO companies (grants, subsidies, SEZ) is very complex to apply for and very rigorously controlled. n 13

16 Outsourcing in Business Directory 2010 manager s_profile_ AVON EMEA Financial Services Center Shared Services Center Headquarters: New York, U.S. Mariusz Szałaj Senior Manager, Business Relations and Development, Warsaw; Operations in : Avon EMEA Finance Service Centre (FSC) was established in 2005 in Warsaw. FSC handles transactional financial-accounting processes of Avon in Europe, Middle East and Africa. AVON EMEA FSC is covering 70 % of all ongoing finance and accounting transactions in the region. The first migration was moving Avon Cosmetics GmbH Germany in 2006, the next were Polish entities: Avon Cosmetics and Avon Operations. During subsequent years we migrated the following markets to Warsaw: Italy, France, Great Britain and Ireland, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Hungary. What s different about AVON EMEA FSSC s operations from other captive SSCs is that we outsource local accounting and payroll services in our smaller markets (like Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia, Moldova, Czech Republic, and Slovakia) with centralized reporting to the Warsaw SSC. We call this our local outsourcing - global delivery model. In general AVON EMEA FSSC is actually providing services for 10 countries within the full outsourcing approach, and additionally for six countries within the local outsourcing - global delivery approach. Accounts receivables management and collections have remained decentralized in the local markets. Reasons for setting up: Apart from typical reasons of labor costs arbitrage, I d like to underline highly-skilled workforce, optimism and pro-activeness typical of Poles. Warsaw, as the capital city, is easy to access, and easier to acquire highly-qualified associates and graduates. Employee issues: At the moment we employ about 100 employees - mainly Accounting Specialists. Looking back over two-three years, we can say that the employment level is pretty constant in spite of significant increases in the workload. Taking into account that the AVON EMEA FSSC has almost reached maturity in terms of its own development, a next increase in employment would be strictly related with new migrations of services to Warsaw. Regarding skills, not everyone needs to finish accounting studies to work in SSC, since we need a diversity of knowledge in our shared services center. We speak here 8 languages, having English as the base language for communication. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: First class location for high quality multi-lingual support, particularly for BPO functions such as F&A or HR. High qualified workforce, young, operative, extremely open-minded and diligent people. Within 4-5 years of operations we increased process efficiency and quality not only from FSSC perspective but also for all serviced markets - as well as significant cost reductions. n 14 directories 2010 Top Office Buildings CityInvest Top Shopping Centres (November 2010 at MAPIC) Complete content available online at: (in Polish) (in English)

17 2010 Business Directory Outsourcing in manager s_profile_ UniCredit Business Partner Shared Services Center Headquarters: Italy/Germany. Employee issues: In Szczecin, nearly 80% of Unicredit s employees are women, and they provide support services to Germany and Austria. 95% have universitylevel education, and the average age is 28. Women have a very thorough approach in their work, said Hatzidimoulas. Responsibilities include administrative processing of loan and mortgage applications, and checking their completeness. Operations in : UniCredit Business Partner provides financial services support to more than 30 banks of the Group. The office serves as a post-sales services centre for mainly retail clients of Bank Austria and HVB of Germany. What we do as the global back-office company of UniCredit Group is provide administrative services to captive banks supporting them in serving their individual customers: for example, we open and close accounts, process various transactions, handle loans and mortgages, etc, said Lissimahos Lissimahos Hatzidimoulas CEO of UniCredit Business Partner Based in Italy. operations in Szczecin Hatzidimoulas, CEO of UniCredit Business Partner. Advice about setting up: We want to grow the Polish operations, and allocate more responsibilities to Szczecin, said Hatzidimoulas. I m enthusiastic about the city s visions for its future, and it s a clear vision, he said. We have great support from the city. There have certainly been some challenges in starting up and growing so quickly, but we have found very, very good people with exceptional German-language skills. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: UniCredit BP has realised significant cost savings by outsourcing services to. We have seen a significant decrease in costs, mainly due to lower labor costs, by more than 50%, said Hatzidimoulas. He added that they have also realized improved operational and process efficiencies by concentrating their services in competence centres, such as the one in Szczecin. One of the challenges Unicredit had in Szczecin was sorting out office space. The company currently operates from a renovated section of the Szczecin shipyard (Stocznia Szczecinska), in offices leased from Koncepta. Koncepta is the same developer behind the planned Baltic Business Park, which will be a modern Class A office building to be ready by end of n 15 manager s_profile_ Playsoft R&D Center Headquarters: Paris Pierre Olivier Monteil Studio manager, Gdańsk [email protected] Operations in : Playsoft Polska is based in Gdansk, with additional offices in San Francisco, Vietnam, and Mexico. It supplies services in mobile games and applications development and quality assurance services for the biggest publishers in Europe and in the US. Playsoft started to publish its own games in The Polish subsidiary is the biggest studio of the group with over 80 employees. The activity in started in 2006, one year after the creation of Playsoft France. The choice to choose to settle a development center was driven by: Qualification of the workforce : top notch engineers Time zone - same as in headquarters in France Easy access by plane English proficiency of the workforce Personal network of the founder of the company in Size of the country: big potential market for our services At the beginning Playsoft Polska was only focusing on projects brought by Playsoft France. 100% of the revenue was coming internally. During the last few months, however, the company decided to start providing services to Polish clients. The objective is to develop the business in with national companies. Advice about setting up: Choose a city well-connected with all European capitals Get a location close to prestigious university in your field of services Employee issues: Playsoft Polska employs currently 80 people. The number had reached 120 when our activity was focused on porting video games. Now, we turned to game creation, which requires a smaller number of employees but with higher qualifications. The studio might grow up again to employees. has been chosen because of the skills of the developers who has shown great qualities such as: fast learning and adaptability capacity to new technologies; outspoken and wellorganized people. Positive surprises - and critiques - of operating in, and cost savings/efficiencies: Positive surprises include rigorous attention to work and dedication. Negative surprises: -sometimes lack of understanding of business and client s need (but that s changing); low design sensibility (it s getting better too). Labor costs are 2 to 3 times cheaper than in western Europe, but the overall cost savings is around 30 to 40%. (constant training, increase in project management time and costs, regular trips ). n

PPPT is located in the center of, within administrative borders of the City of Płock, in the northwestern part of the Mazovia Province, approximately 100 km away from Warsaw, Toruń and Łódź. Taking advantage of the possibilities afforded by as a member of the European Union, in 2004 the Municipality of Płock and PKN ORLEN SA established a managing company to apply for a grants under the European Regional Development Fund. The company obtained the first grant of more than 9.5 million for developing the industrial component of the park. Thanks to EU financial support amounting to over 14 million approximately 130 hectares of investment grounds have been equipped with all the supply, utility, media and facility infrastructure necessary for doing business along with building the Administration and Conference Center of the usable area of nearly 5,000 sqm. According to the strategy development of the industrial component was the first stage of the Park creation. In 2006 PPPT worked out a complex development program for named Building and development of the technological and R&D component of PPPT for the over-regional innovative activity, which was later put on the list of key investment projects for realization under the Regional Operational Program of the Mazovia Province co-financed from the European Regional Development Fund. The main directions of development program has been indicated in relation to create most favorable conditions for investors representing business Investment zones of PPPT Visualization of Corporate Services Center process outsourcing (BPO) and shared services (SSC) sector as well as R&D area. By the end of 2012 PPPT is planning to build new facilities operating in a synergy effect as a Business Services Center, in which investors and partners of BPO/SSC sector will offer a full range of services and products in the process of outsourcing and ICT research and implementation services.

Investment value of building Business Services Center will amount up to 32,5 million within the period Offer for BPO and SSC companies willing to invest in PPPT is based on a complex investment, HR and business support packages. Płock Industrial and Technological Park has established a close cooperation with the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ). PPPT, as the first park in the country, signed a partnership agreement with PAIiIZ on joint marketing and promotional activities, which will strengthen the processes of attracting foreign investors. This cooperation concerns various actions related to the promotion of the Park s offer to investors representing BPO/SSC sector along with creation of the chemical cluster in Płock, which is a natural consequence of the PPPT s business profile. The Park was awarded 1st prize in the Mazovia Province initiative in the 2nd National Contest The Golden Sites organized by PAIiIZ. At present, investment offer of PPPT makes up almost 130 hectares of investment grounds, fully equipped with internal network of bitumen roads and all the media utilities. They are ready to invest and run business activity. Business partnership with ORLEN Group along with its product and raw material base perfectly stimulates the economic growth of companies operating in various industries. The direct neighborhood and prospects of cooperation with sector leaders offers current and future investors a special synergy much better than anywhere else in. The attractiveness of the Park s investment offer is strengthened by a very attractive real estate tax exemptions program for investors. Exemption can be received for 10 or 15 years, depending on the investment value (less than or more than PLN 10 million). In June 2010 PPPT signed a letter of intent with Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, which is mostly interested in chemical operations and perfectly fits to the Park s profile defined by basic activity of such businesses like PKN ORLEN, Basell Orlen Polyolefins or PCC Rokita, and at the same time becomes an important part of idea of creation of chemical cluster in Płock. Our goal is to create a unique place for investors says Iwona Lewandowska, the President of PPPT. Because our development plans are strictly connected with widely understood BPO and SSC sector we strongly believe that Płock Industrial and Technological Park will become in the future a leading centre of outsourcing services in. n THE PARK OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR BPO SECTOR
