Outsourcing has been around as long as work specialization has existed. Customized offshore outsourcing solutions have created the need of established Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) methodologies. To be able to provide improved process integration and optimal performance to clients is given utmost importance.
BPO- Business Process Outsourcing is fee for service basis. It provides a wide range of tactical, powerful, flexible tools which in turn helps in achieving the business objectives in a cost effective and efficient manner. To put it in simple words a BPO (business process outsourcing) is a process in which a company delegates some of its business processes to a third party by passing over total control of process to them. This in turn cuts the operational costs by half resulting into huge profits.
BPO’s are inclined to provide better customer satisfaction leading to customer retention, increased productivity, deal with competition effectively and in turn increase profitability. There are many kinds of work that can be outsourced to BPO’s for e.g. Call/Help Centers, Medical Transcription, Billing, Payroll Processing, Data Entry, IT Services, Human Resources (HR) functions, etc. Due to the proximity of IT industry to BPO, this industry is also termed as ITES (Information Technology Enabled Service). But, BPO doesn’t necessarily only provide IT services.
BPO will be time and again, simply defined as, taking over non-critical business processes or a function of those processes, as well as the people and systems associated with them, in order to achieve service level improvements and cost savings. It is useful in leveraging the process towards driven efficiency and achieving responsiveness, branding, customer relationships and organizational excellence.

Interesting term. My only concern is that it’s still outsourcing and these jobs will still go overseas jeopardizing our US job market.

You’ve managed to describe the path outsourcers needs to take in a few brief paragraphs. You’ve nailed this on - Platform BPO alone is a play for cheap processing services tied to commodity ERP implementations. Vendors need to be much smarter about the value they bring to the table - and you’ve done a great job highlighting this here,
