Need to Lower Operational Costs Drives the Global Business Process Outsourcing Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 16, 2014 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – BPO is strongly linked to the Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) market wherein IT functions are contracted out to third parties. With changing definition of an ideal business model and rapidly changing market environment, organizations across the world are reinstating their focus on core competencies. This leads companies to outsource non-core business functions and processes that were earlier handled by internal departments. Third party service providers possess specialized skills and employ low-cost workforce, which in turn translates into greater cost savings compared to in-house operations. The industry has witnessed rapid transformation from its focus on lift and shift cost arbitrage strategy to a comprehensive model wherein the emphasis is also on standardizing and optimizing processes, and reengineering processes.
The outsourcing and offshoring industry exhibited early signs of recovery during 2010 as companies focused on outsourcing activities to better capitalize on emerging opportunities. The trend towards offshoring of business operations to low-cost destinations such as India, Philippines and China is likely to continue gaining strength, due to the rising cost pressures. Additionally, the rapid shift towards "as-a-service" models is expected to eat into the space of traditional BPO delivery models, owing to benefits such as improvement in process reliability, lower costs, reduction in error rates and quicker processing times. With reference to pricing, companies are poised to benefit as "as-a-service" model has given way to "pay by the drink" basis, which has further made these services accessible to a larger range of companies. The year 2014 is expected to witness high level of standardization and the introduction of next generation intelligent technologies primarily to achieve the goal of absolute automation.
Future growth will be driven by increased outsourcing in emerging verticals such as utility, and retail. For the BPO industry, food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors are expected to emerge as revenue generators. Additionally, BPOs continue to shift towards high-end services such as knowledge-based services and business analytics. This shift is aided by a mix of technology-enabled platforms, re-engineering skills, newer operating models, and expanded depth of services. In addition, convergence of latest technologies and platforms, including social network and mobility platforms, is expected to create the demand for high-value outsourcing services. Companies are expected to put greater emphasis on using social media technologies for gaining access to talent, and to position products and services.
