Chapter 7: Best practice BPO
BPO benefits Market maturity model for BPO
Outsourcing business processes can bring significant
benefits to companies looking to cut costs and improve
overall business performance. Because external
providers focus on key processes as their core
competency, companies are able to effectively leverage
their knowledge and experience for their own benefit.
The core benefits can be categorized into four separate
areas:
• Lower costs. Because BPO providers focus purely on
the processes that they provide, they are able to
offer a lower cost to organizations than they might
otherwise be able to get themselves. For many of
the processes outsourced such as contact centers, Source: The BPO Market Outlook
the startup costs are significant, and or many are
hard to justify given the alternative of a BPO service.
Similarly, the BPO provider will often guarantee that it is using the most appropriate and up-to-date
technology, allowing the user to avoid issues such as sourcing and upgrading.
• Improve service. Because outsourcing contracts are constructed using SLAs (Service Level Agreements), a
predefined level of service is guaranteed. In most situations, this level is higher than the company itself
could provide internally. For applications such as customer interaction, this is critical as poor
communication with customers can affect revenues. For other processes such as HR, the customer is able
to receive better staff and ensure that existing staff are managed properly, thereby leading to better
internal efficiencies.
• Gain access to expert skills. As companies are faced with increasing regulation, the demand for
appropriately skilled staff is growing. Often, it is difficult to ensure an adequate level of knowledge within
internal staff to guarantee performance. Using a BPO provider for select processes, however, provides
companies with staff that are experts in specific areas. This extra knowledge can help to relieve the
pressure of issues such as regulation. Similarly, external experts can help optimize and streamline internal
processes through the application of best practices methodology.
• Focus on core activities. By outsourcing non-critical elements of the business, companies are able to pay
more attention to their core competencies. In this way, companies can effectively forget about managing
lines of business such as HR or finance and accounting. This releases considerable resources to try and
gain as much market share and revenues as possible, while at the same time maintaining or improving the
level of services within the business.
BPO market segments
Horizontal BPO services are, overall, further advanced in terms of market development than the more sector-
specific vertical BPO services. However, a great deal of this development has happened in a service bureau
or managed service set-up, often being more third-party service than outsourcing, with few strategic BPO
deals having driven past market growth...
