Introduction to outsourcing Many people ask me everyday, what is outsourcing? What is BPO? Where do I start if I want to outsource, etc..... This section will begin to answer those questions.
The Basics (I have included wikipedia links) BPO - Business Process Outsourcing - BPO is the ability to have another entity run a service (process) that was traditionally run in-house. Typically this service is not a core competency of the client that is outsourcing and therefore a vendor can run the service more efficiently and more cost effectively. BPO has historically been linked to call center activities but has been applied to number of different services. As more services emerged and they moved up the value chain. More terms were spawn, here are some of them: • LPO - Legal Process Outsourcing • KPO - Knowledge Process Outsourcing
