Advancing the FAO Value Proposition: The New Order of Buyer Expectations

As 2009 unfolds, clients and providers of Finance & Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) are positioned better now than ever to capitalize on key opportunities. These include a rapidly expanding value proposition, healthy environment for contract renewals, and broadening scope of FAO solutions. Moreover, these new growth opportunities present themselves on the heels of a record 2008, which posted over $3 billion in new FAO contract signings. The resulting environment emphasizes that FAO market fundamentals continue to be strong and value drivers continue to resonate with the marketplace.

While momentum in the FAO market continues, the way in which buyers perceive and define value is evolving and expanding. New buyers seek a broader and more diversified set of FAO objectives. Experienced FAO buyers continue to build on past accomplishments and expect to gain incremental value from existing engagements.

Join us for an insightful one-hour Webinar, in which Everest research leaders will highlight the direction and nature of emerging value drivers in the FAO market and discuss the implications for the buyer segment.

You will learn:

  • Key drivers of the trend toward an expanded FAO value proposition
  • Points of incremental value that buyers can expect from their FAO solutions
  • Ways in which FAO solutions and offerings are adjusting to address these emerging needs
  • How FAO suppliers are positioning themselves to align with expanded buyer expectations
