BPO is a form of outsourcing that involves contracting business processes to external, third-party service providers both inside and outside the country. Originally restricted to contracting out manufacturing activities, BPO now covers service sector as well. BPO is categorized into front office (for example, call centers) and back office outsourcing (finance, accounting, recruitment, etc). Medical transcription (MT), legal process outsourcing (LPO) and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) are some of the sub-segments of the BPO industry.
Outsourced services and its benefits
With globalization gaining grounds along with corresponding increase in computer reach and internet connectivity, businesses find it easier to outsource their processes to third parties. A service provider for example can outsource front office operations to a call centre that can provide 24/7 service by answering customer queries from diverse time zones and geographical locations. A devoted outbound call centre can help in finding new customers of a company. A company can outsource the management of its accounting and financial functions to an expert accounting and tax firm. A large organization can decentralize its staffing needs to a human resources agency.
In spite of concerns and risk perceptions felt by the organizations in handing over their critical processes and important data to external service providers, there is no denying that outsourcing helps immensely in the long run. Some of the major benefits of outsourcing are savings in terms of cost, time and energy, speedy work, better resource management, improved inventory control and better decision making. Instead of investing hugely in infrastructure and workforce, a company can concentrate on their core competencies by contracting out some of their business functions of a single entity.
