The organization brings together shared service centres (SSC), business process outsourcing centres (BPO), IT outsourcing centres (ITO), research & development centres (R&D), as well as companies supporting the development of the sector in Poland.

“In order to become a strategic partner for the ABSL, a company needs to be a leader in its field and must demonstrate its pro-active support of the sector of business services in Poland and the growth of our organization,” says Jacek Levernes, President of ABSL, Vice President of Global Business Services HP EMEA, and a member of the board of HP Europe.

Strategic membership involves representing and promoting the ABSL in front of external partners, participating as advisor in Management Board meetings, conferences and sector representatives meetings, as well as working with the organization on research reports and publications concerning the business services sector in Poland.

“I am really pleased that our co-operation with the ABSL will continue and be even more intense in 2012.
