Attention: Chief Executive Officers, Business Process Managers and Companies Currently Conducting or Considering Offshoring
The Offshore Business Process Outsourcing spotlight report surveys the literally expanding world of offshore business process outsourcing (BPO).
Of course, outsourcing is nothing new. "It's the classic 'make vs. buy' question," says Morris Cohen of the Wharton School. What has changed is that more companies are engaged in more outsourcing than before—and they are doing it in novel ways.
BPO is a special class of outsourcing that deals with business functions that are more central to the client's business than those that are traditionally outsourced. It includes strategic processes that have—up to now—been kept in-house. In the future, companies will be looking ever further to capture global advantage, BPO may even extend out to encompass R&D, which means tapping into talent pools from Mexico and Eastern Europe to China and India.
