Shared services: The Ontario solution
Shared services in Australia: a case study
Several state governments in Australia have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to implement shared services.

Do shared services really save?
As the concept of shared services grows ever more popular in organizations across the globe, their usefulness has become a point of contention for some critics. Shared services have seen success in some areas – Ontario and New Brunswick, for example – but in others, they have been less than effective.

Transforming government IT infrastructure
Shared Services Canada (SSC) was created on August 4, 2011, to streamline, standardize and transform the government of Canada’s IT infrastructure services to deliver a digital platform for the federal government of the future – one that is modern, reliable, secure, and provided at a reduced cost.
