The primary purpose of a shared service center is to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and reduce costs by centralizing common administrative, support, or back-office functions that were previously dispersed across various departments or locations.

The main types of shared services centers are business strategy, operational strategy, and others. Business strategy refers to the set of decisions, actions, and plans that an organization undertakes to achieve its long-term goals and objectives. Its components include software, services, consulting, integration, and maintenance, and it is used in banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), media and entertainment, manufacturing, healthcare, information technology and telecom, retail and hospitality, others.
