What is BPO? The Evolution of Outsourcing. Capabilities in the Marketplace. Rule to Follow. Pros and Cons.
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the contracting of a specific business task, such as human resources and customer service, to a third-party service provider. This allows companies to focus on their core business processes. BPO is implemented as a cost-saving measure for tasks that a company requires.
It is often divided into two categories: - Back Office Outsourcing which includes internal business functions such as billing or purchasing. - Front Office Outsourcing which includes customer-related services such as marketing or tech support.
Key Terms: - Offshore Outsourcing is BPO that is contracted outside a company's own country. - Nearshore Outsourcing is BPO that is contracted to a company's neighboring country. - Onshore Outsourcing is BPO that is contracted with the company's own country.
Indian revenues from BPO are estimated to have grown 107% to $ 583 million.
