The Economist. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). The idea revolves around the belief that it is possible to hire a specialist firm to handle specific business processes better than an internally run department can (e.g. HR). Recent experience shows that this can save 20-50% of the costs of managing an internal department to do the same thing. While this isn’t new, the arrival of pure plays that focus on specific processes is. Further, it’s clear that these pure plays are using computer automation more effectively than their client companies to cut costs. [jrobb] 5:08:14 PM |
