Description

This IDC study highlights the intentions and preferences of Australia organisations looking at procuring business services at offshore locations. It provides an insight into the areas where the most demand will come from and the services for which the various verticals are planning to use the offshore delivery model to cut costs for back-office processes.

"The major areas of focus for offshore business process outsourcing (BPO) are human resources (HR), finance and accounting (F&Amp;A), and customer care. The areas that are deemed suitable for offshoring are the highly transactional and repeatable subprocesses within these functions. The outsourced process will be very carefully defined and disaggregated to ensure that roles and responsibilities are exceptionally clear for a process to be managed across time zones, cultures, and multiple locations," says Aprajita Sharma, senior analyst, Outsourcing and BPO Research, IDC Australia.
