It is difficult to imagine that by outsourcing something like finance, procurement, information technology or human resources firms can increase their revenue but it is true.
It may be indirect but by improving the businesses focus, by surpassing non-core activities technology firms can improves their ability to focus on revenue generating activities.
The term outsourcing gained common acceptance in the year 1980s and is still used today to describe a relationship with an outside service provider for work traditionally done in-house.
The important distinction between an outsourcing deal and any other business relationship is, control of the process is determined not by you, but by us.
You dictate what you want to gain from the relationship, but it is left to us to set the strategy to accomplish the implementation and delivery for you and as per your expectations.
This method of outsourcing was mainly seen as giving most benefit in the technology departments of organisations. Latterly it growing as the information technology outsourcing (ITO) market.
Generally, BPO contracts are seen as being more inclusive, covering a great deal of process redesign work, redeployment and retraining of the people and almost always includes the information technology that enables and supports the business process.
The goal is to provide an even greater opportunity for generating innovation, speed to market and shareholder value through this more integrated approach.
BPO deals have seen a huge increase in both their size and frequency over last few years and it is projected by Forrester that application outsourcing market alone will cross over $18 billion by 2009.
