'Fit for BPO' Advisory Service

 

The global Information Technology outsourcing and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry is projected to be worth approximately a trillion dollars p.a. by 2008. India has grown offshore BPO services alone from $565m in 2000 to $3.6bn in 2004 and now several nations are readying themselves to become a global location of choice. Organisations within these countries are currently performing a range of front and back-office business processes for a number of global institutions on both a third-party and offshore subsidiary (or 'captive') basis. This is the service economy of the future and is an enormous opportunity for the maximisation of foreign direct investment, new employment and potential tax revenues. These opportunities are achievable for a wide number of countries.

 

Service Offering

The 'Fit for BPO' advisory service will provide you with a current-state assessment of your country against two of the current leading European and Asian destinations for these services. The benchmarking will be performed against the following criteria:

  • Labour & Workforce

    • Education

    • Salary Information

    • Workforce Demographics

  • Infrastructure

    • Power

    • Telecommunications

    • Real Estate

  • Country Accesssibility

    • Travel

    • Work Permits

  • Government Support & Legal

    • Regulatory

    • Government Support/Investment

    • Political Stability

    • Ecomonic Growth                                                                Top

Once we have performed the benchmarking exercise, our report will then analyse the areas where development is required to stimulate economic growth and competition. The report will clearly identify the commercial areas which need to be developed for your country to make it attractive as a location of choice.

 

One of our researchers will visit your country as an integral part of the reporting process, to understand the benefits and challenges faced at an operational level.

The offshore IT and BPO market has started to look beyond low-cost as the reason for tasks to be sent to an offshore location. Now nations themselves need a value proposition as regions compete for this international flow of work. Defining a national value proposition is the key to generating inward investment. Examples of other value propositions that bypass the low-cost debate are:

  • Cultural fit with higher-cost economies;

  • Specific language capabilities;

  • Risk mitigation by using alternative environments;

  • Niche capabilities within a country.

Identifying the right positioning and value proposition will help you share in this fast-growing global market.
