This slideshow was used at the FreeBalance booth at GTEC 2011. The slides provide speaking points about government shared services, especially as they relate to the Government of Canada. Many governments have implemented hosted shared services to support more efficient and effective service delivery. Yet, hosted shared services for financial and human resources in government have had disappointing results. Expected savings have not materialized. Standardization has been difficult to achieve. The FreeBalance Accountability Suite is used as a whole-of-government solution through centralized and decentralized shared services in governments around the world. Software solutions from FreeBalance are being used in 19 countries, including Antigua & Barbuda, Afghanistan, Canada, Iraq, Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Mongolia, Namibia, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Southern Sudan, Timor-Leste, and Uganda among others. FreeBalance software manages more than a quarter trillion ($US) annual budgets worldwide.
