Description

This IDC study presents a comprehensive overview of the BPO marketplace from an end user's perspective. Countries such as India have for years been exporting BPO services to the world; but the adoption of BPO in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) region is still at its infancy in many countries. Given this scenario, APEJ is seen as a complex and diverse region where the end-user BPO market characteristics vary considerably across countries - from developed economies such as Australia to developing economies such as China. This report is of value to both end users and service providers in answering the following questions:

What is the end-user demand for BPO services for the APEJ region? Which areas within horizontal functions are being outsourced? How does the end-user BPO landscape today differ from that of just a few years ago? What has changed and why?

"BPO in finance and accounting, HR, and customer care are amongst the most commonly outsourced functions in APEJ today. End-user companies are also starting to realize the importance of having a proper governance structure in place before embarking on BPO engagements," says Conrad Chang, senior analyst, BPO Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.
