As businesses aim to reduce non-priority expenditure and operate efficiently, partnering with a BPO company to delegate functions will become part of the conversation. Apart from reducing costs, partnering with a BPO company may bring additional benefits to your organization: reassigning valuable resources, increased quality and productivity, business focus, and control.
“Non-core” functions like bookkeeping, invoicing, collections, tax, and HR/IT support are the usual suspects when thinking of outsourcing processes to LATAM. Lately, we have seen companies outsource more technical functions like software development, financial analysis, and marketing design. This trend speaks to the advantages of partnering with BPO companies in LATAM (mainly companies in Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Chile), where there is a large pool of English-speaking talent, appropriate technology, and expertise.
Unfortunately, outsourcing business processes does not always work out. The top 5 reasons for a negative outcome are the following:
Lack of strategic alignment between parties
Insufficient assessment of BPO providers
Not redesigning processes and controls
Defective training and incomplete testing
Low adoption rate and lack of measurable results
