THE STRATEGY

SSC Master will follow the current bidirectional strategy staying constantly open-minded for new business models and concepts, ready for pivoting so frequently observed on the contemporary market. As the sophistication level of the solutions provided is relatively high and the C-level customer trust is crucial, the company focuses on approaching the chosen clients directly in the relational sales process and partners with the main consultancy market players (ADP, Grant Thornton, Deloitte and others). The most important competitive edge factors are: business needs understanding, quality of workflows modelling and interfacing, great user support, professional advisory and flexible customisation. Customer convenience in delegating, outsourcing and implementing the business goals is the main concern and ambition of SSC Master. That approach also assumes the build of customized versions of standard products, providing more value for specific groups of customers. The simplified and inexpensive workflows offering available as a cloud only is optionally planned if the market feedback shows the proper potential. The company plans to develop a strong and very precisely targeted marketing infrastructure. This will be key to get the solutions out on the market and create the proper presence and recognition. In terms of geography, the strategy is focused on Polish market first, English speaking markets in the very next step and the final multilanguage version of SSC Master workflows will cover the requirements of every other market. The recurrent revenues generated on cloud and on customer’s premises located solutions are the most expected and promising, but also dedicated projects will be performed – especially for shared services centres and professional services providers. The management supports and guarantees the sustainable growth being also open for the interesting investment and joint venture proposals.
