Why “IT” Does Matter in BPO: Information Technology’s Key Role in the Success of Business Process Outsourcing

Really, does IT matter all that much? Oh sure, large organizations are known to spend a lot of money investing in the best that technology has to offer, but should small BPOs take the risk of such a large investment? Now this is a debate, which can have endless conclusions. However, it is important that organizations, may it be big or small, recognize their strengths so that they know what exactly they should invest in. BPO India makes a constant effort to make optimum utilization of IT when it comes to checking the transactions that need processing, constant analysis, total quality control, etc.

Technology always acts as a defining aspect when it comes to helping the BPO industry in aspects such as commercial management, communication management, issue management, compliance management, etc. However, one thing that you have to remember is that technology is one thing that can never be substituted for skill and effective labor. For any business process outsourcing company, it is important that they recognize their IT requirements and their capacity to perform in order to ensure the success of the company.

BPO 2008 – Key Trends for The Outsourcing Industry

It is definitely not a well kept secret that the US dollar rate is weakening although slowly, but gradually. This was more than evident during 2007 especially when the Indian currency appreciated to almost 11% during that year. This clearly sent a message to the media that the US markets were going to be hit real hard. Although experts predict the same trends for the year 2008, investors still stand strong and filled with optimism. All thanks to the predictions made by the financial analysts, companies have already started implementing fool proof plans in order to counter any obstacles posed by the market forces. BPOs have already taken their stand in this matter by having a clear vision of the upcoming trends.

One of the most important trends that we believe is likely to stir things up would be that small outsourcing companies will be considerably affected since it would be literally impossible for them when it comes to increasing their commodity prices. The most important setback would be that they would be losing out on talent to much bigger competitors. On the contrary, as seen in 2007, in 2008 too, small cities will in fact, benefit due to these margin pressures brought about by the market. Cities like Pune are already favorites with respect to the outsourcing industries, which in due course is seen to surpass the demand even in a city like Bangalore. Some business process outsourcing companies like Telegenisys have all geared up to expand its activities thereby using different tactics and research in order to give a boost to their business.

If you want to understand how technology is going to impact your business, it is important that you understand the cost incurred by the BPO company that you have contracted for providing you with their services. This would include costs such as the cost incurred for the software licensing, i.e., 3% of the complete BPO services. Costs incurred for the various hardware and connectivity equipments forms about 15% of service fees. Then of course there is the cost to be incurred with respect to the manpower and related equipments that are for employee benefits, etc.

Few Important Ways to Protect Sensitive Data While Outsourcing

Well, may it be any outsourcing company, protecting the data that your company is dealing with should be your first and foremost priority. You can be sure that your employees are an asset to your company, but how sure can you really be? Lets face it, it doesn’t take much time for any vital company information to leak out, which could easily turn the tables with respect to an open business competition. When it comes to outsourcing to India, Indian companies should do all that they can to maintain the privacy of their clients. In order to achieve this, it is important that companies comply with the outsourcing rules and guidelines. Protection is the key aspect here and companies shouldn't allow their employees to carry portable drives and PDAs since this measure assures that company is really serious about maintaining the privacy of its clients as well as itself. Many British and American companies are involved in offshore outsourcing especially contracting some of their activities to Indian companies. Protecting these companies’ interest is important for maintaining your reputation in the market. Another way of ensuring data protection is by making the agents aware about the importance of the data. This way, the company can remain assured about any possible data leaks. Assigning each agent with unique login and passwords is another way to go on about it.

BPO India consists of many offshore companies such as ATM companies, Insurance companies from the UK, Fortune 500 financial companies, etc. Pune, which used to be a pensioner’s paradise, is no longer a stranger to outsourcing. Many US based companies have opened up their offices all over this city including Telegenisys Inc., one of the leaders in outsourcing. Telegenisys has taken appropriate steps to ensure data security, and comply with all the regulations in order to protect the sensitive data of their clients.
