Tap to Read ➤ Mark Shapiro

Today’s fast-paced business world revolves around productivity, cost-effectiveness, the ability to scale, and global markets. These are the four building blocks of a successful business, no matter the sector, product, or service in which a business owner is involved.

1. Increased productivity

If your current office personnel is focusing on data entry and filing, they may be time-constrained in the performance of other duties. A human resources department, for example, might be tasked with finding top-quality performers for other areas of the business, but limited in the time it can spend because of the filing of forms and contracts.

2. Cost-effective Processes

BPOs are globally located. They offer access to a high-quality, English-speaking workforce that is cost-effective to engage. Outsourcing your office duties often results in a cost savings. The savings flows directly to your bottom line, boosting profit margins.

3. The ability to scale

Growing businesses need to be able to increase their output when necessary. Businesses also need to be nimble, to right-size effectively in case market or economic conditions change. If all your office functions are done in-house, it can be challenging and time-consuming to increase output or right-size.

4. Service around the world, 24/7

BPOs are available to serve your company and clients globally, 24/7. If your business has a customer base in the U.S., western Europe, Australia and Asia, an in-house customer service center may be challenged dealing with one of the global areas. But a BPO can seamlessly talk to your customers at any time, any place they are located.
