A guide to Business Process Outsourcing

What Is Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)?

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a practice in which business partners with an external service provider for specific business tasks but usually non-core ones such as customer services, printing & publishing, sales & marketing, human resources, shipping, logistics, etc.

 

BPO has been told to have roots in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturers found a third-party vendor to handle some parts of their supply chains because they believed that those vendors were more skillful for the tasks and could save more cost for the process than an in-house team. Over time, this practice spreads out to other industries as well.

Benefits of BPO

There are many great things about BPO. First of all, it helps to decrease costs, especially for staffing and training. If an outsourcing agency is located in a developing country, it could leverage the lower-cost labor. A popular example is the Filipino customer service centers which are hired by Western companies.

 

Besides the cost-saving benefit, outsourcing allows businesses to focus their resources on their main offerings instead of functions that aren’t tied to their core values. 

Why not let the right people who have the world-class quality skillset complete the tasks for you so that you will have time to lead your business to a new horizon?

Another advantage of BOP is expanding your global presence. Some outsourcing companies can serve customers in multiple languages, around the clock since they have staff located in different time zones and continents.
