What is BPO (Business Process Outsourcing)?

Today's competitive marketplace demands operational productivity, administrative efficiency, business agility, shorter turnaround times and increased shareholder value. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the survival key in transforming processes to achieve these end results.

"Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the delegation of one or more IT-intensive business processes to an external Provider that, in turn, owns, administrates and manages the selected process(es) based upon defined and measurable performance metrics."


As the modern enterprise seeks to focus ever more narrowly on its core activities, BPO increasingly is being considered as a business strategy that provides access to 'best in class' processes and cost predictability. This growing trend for enterprises to review their internal operations to more fully understand what their true core competencies are and to focus only on these core competencies is the primary driver behind the growth of the BPO market.

"Only 25% of organizations using BPO services are satisfied with their current service providers."
'Computing' Supplier Survey 09/01

To ensure they are well placed to address this market growth, BPO Service Providers are facing a number of challenges:

1.Visibility of ongoing improvements in operational efficiency
2.Reducing processing costs through continuous process improvements
3.Maximizing BPO revenues within shortening BPO contract terms
4.Increasing customer satisfaction by realizing business benefits sooner
5.Improving service levels through accurate process monitoring and reporting
6.Avoidance of long and costly development cycles to achieve a faster ROI
7.Defining and enforcing 'best practice' processes
8.Implementing effective change management capabilities.
