Hello, I'm trying to find some articles/POV's to a centralized testing team (vs. around the global) suggestions?

I work at a large company that has testing function in each geography, while the HQ is in the US (part of this is managing virtual teams).  The research I'm looking into is whether or not it is beneficial to create a centralized testing team (separate from QM/QA - this testing is completed by the cross-funtional business end-users) at the HQ that would provide status updates/metrics to the cross-funtional business end-users.

Dear Stracey,

If I have understood it correctly, you are trying to set up a TCoE (Testing Center of Excellence) for a consolidated Testing Delivery in your organization ?

If that's the case, here are few links, where you can find PPTs, describing, how you should go about and what are the steps you should follow.
