What is BPO?
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) can be defined as a process in which a company delegates some of its in-house operations/processes to a third party. Thus BPO is a contracting transaction through which one company purchases services from another while keeping ownership and ultimate responsibility for the underlying processes. The clients inform their provider what they want and how they want the work performed. So the client can authorize the provider to operate as well as redesign basic processes in order to ensure even greater cost and efficiency benefits.

Why BPO?
Companies turn to resources outside their organizational structure usually to save money and/or make use of the skilled professionals. For instance, a company might outsource its IT management because it is cheaper to contract a third-party to do so than it would be to build its own in-house IT management team. Or a company could outsource all of its data storage needs because it is easier and cheaper than buying and maintaining its own data storage devices. A business might also outsource its human resource tasks to another enterprise instead of having its own dedicated human resources staff.

77% of Fortune 500 companies currently have efforts underway to outsource some aspect of their business support services. The top 400 growth companies declare they currently outsource several business functions. Worldwide revenue for outsourcing will continue to grow at 15% to 20% in the foreseeable future. The user typically realizes cost savings of 10-30%.
