Warner Bros. and Capgemini Co-Develop Talent for Finance As-a-Service

After engaging with Capgemini in a hybrid shared services and outsourcing model for a number of years, Warner Bros. EFS was looking to evolve to a more flexible model.

“We wanted to be nimble and move quickly but also have a structure that would allow us to scale,” said Chris Piazza, Senior Vice President, Warner Bros. Enterprise Financial Services (EFS).

In short, Chris was looking to redefine the standard outsourcing model to be more on-demand and As-a-Service, balancing supply and demand and moving from a fixed cost model to a variable cost model.
