Services > Shared Services
Stratum's Shared Service initiatives are driven by a subset of specialized work
groups or committees. The committee structure successfully promotes an environment
in which participants from our shareholder groups can work collectively to address
common issues to the benefit of their respective organizations. The following philosophies
and ideals are shared by Stratum members thus creating the driving force behind
our Shared Services Organization:
- Leverage, whenever possible, Stratum’s collective buying power when negotiating
with vendors or service providers
- Why "re-invent the wheel" each time on common projects or initiatives when a Stratum
product endorsed by all Shareholders can be rolled out.
- Driven by best practice standards, standardize processes where possible and migrate
toward common systems.
- Create a "second to none" peer group where issues can be shared and discussed.
- Share the talents and capitalize on the wealth of intellectual capital that exists
amongst our Shareholders.
Not only do Stratum’s Shared Services provide a great deal of value to our Shareholders
but value is delivered at low cost and minimal effort. Each committee is coordinated
and facilitated by a Stratum executive member thus reducing time and energy necessary
for preparation and follow up by participants. Currently our Shared Services Committees
include:
