Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a method of subcontracting various business-related operations to third-party vendors. BPO includes recruitment and customer-related services such as tech support, sales, accounts, human resources, administrative and marketing.
As businesses seek to lower costs, compete, expand their global reach and focus on their core concerns, they have turned to outsourcing their noncore business processes. Information technology (IT) was first outsourced decades ago when big data systems were too costly for smaller companies to own, but made sense to share. Now, low-cost global communication networks allow vendors to send information almost anywhere in an instant. Technicians running software thousands of miles away can produce data for you to view on your desktop at will.
Business Process outsourcing (BPO) enables the company business owners to grow and increase profits and save money on operational expenses. Thus, making their business more successful.
Businesses can depend on BPO to decrease investment costs, increase competitiveness, and enhance the cyber security of company data. The main goal for a company is to maximize profit while deploying available resources efficiently.
Many businesses are able to do this with the help of BPO service providers.
Certain risk factors accompany all BPO projects. If you have problems in these areas, have a plan
to stop the losses before they become threatening. These risks are:
• Risks to your human capital, including knowledge and talent.
• Risks associated with designing, executing and operating the project.
• Risks that your intellectual property may leak to your competitors.
• Risk that your vendor might use what it learns to become your competitor.
• Legal risks and litigation due to badly written contracts, unmet SLAs, HR issues or more.
• Risks that your vendor may not meet its commitments, may be purchased, may violate HR laws or may even go out of business.
• Risks that key project components may change and destroy your value proposition.
• Unforeseeable, uncontainable risks due to natural disasters, political change or epidemics.
Both your firm and your vendor must benefit for your BPO project to succeed. Build the relationship on trust and respect. It also requires six additional elements:
1. You must understand and support your vendor’s need to make a profit. Either party need to look after each other long terms interests
2. Both sides must realize that they’ll need to adjust the Service Level Agreement as they gain experience or as changing factors require new performance levels.
3. Your firm must know, acknowledge and live up to its commitment to the project.
4. The project team must prepare for any staff changes to keep the program on track.
5. Participants should use standard resolution methods to identify and fix problems.
6. The project team must understand the interpersonal norms in both companies, particularly if they are in different countries.
