How has the global economic downturn changed the way organisations view outsourcing as an option for their business?
Guaranteed cost savings remain a key driver for outsourcing in challenging economic times. But outsourcing can also add value as organisations take a more strategic view on how business processes can be transformed to support overall management objectives. Companies demand innovative solutions and approaches and want partners not vendors, which mean outsourcers must be more flexible.
What impact is new technology having on business process outsourcing?
Successfulccessful BPO contracts rely on effective technology solutions. We are seeing more demand for integrated and complex service offerings as organisations look to stitch together their business processes across territories and services. New technologies, such as cloud-based solutions, collaboration tools and social media platforms, play an important role in delivering the benefits of outsourcing.
What does the future hold for outsourcing in the short and long term?
Outsourcing is shifting towards a more transformational, innovation-led approach which will accelerate as global growth remains sluggish. While innovation isn’t a magic bullet, the behaviour and endeavour it represents can be the missing piece in successful outsourcing relationships. A partnership model based on trust, commitment and shared reward will form the framework for the next generation of deals.
