3 Business Process Outsourcing helping you become a more Adaptive Enterprise Today s business world is marked by change, complexity and the need to rapidly adapt to new market demands without losing momentum on strategic objectives. Successful companies create lean organizations that focus on their core competence and outsource or partner for activities that are not strategically critical and not essential to differentiating the company. Typically these activities include the transactional and tactical points of finance and accounting, human resources, procurement, and sales and marketing. In particular, companies look to Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) to: Focus management attention on strategic issues rather than low value-add transactional activities Reduce operating costs by outsourcing to service providers who can take advantage of labor arbitrage, better IT systems and improved scale Improve financial controls and regulatory compliance Increase the speed and quality of business processes, leveraging a provider s expertise, best practices and continuous quality improvement Increase operational flexibility and minimize use of capital Enrich processes with modern technology and tools Enhance transparency of operations Outsourcing non-core activities frees up capital, people and technology, allowing you to concentrate on your core business and to increase the agility of your operations. Often, cost savings of up to 50 percent can be achieved while at the same time improving the quality of your processes. With BPO, your company can become a leaner, more Adaptive Enterprise. Many industry-leading companies like Procter & Gamble, Nokia, Ford and Aventis have started to outsource part of their operations. Those companies that do not recognize the new business imperative of focusing on what is core to their business and outsourcing the non-core activities risk being left behind in the race for increased competitiveness. 3
