All outsourcing isn’t created equal. It’s important to know what you're getting in real terms.
Business Process as a Service
All outsourcing isn’t created equal. It’s important to know what you're getting in real terms. Even the most outdated methodologies can sound enticing with the right spin. Here, we’ve taken the industry speak and laid it bare, showing you what it really means and why it’s important to you.
Traditional BPO
Business Process Outsourcing
“Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the delegation of one or more IT-intensive business processes to an external provider that, in turn, owns, administrates and manages the selected processes based on defined and measurable performance metrics.”
- Gartner
Modern BPaaS
Business Process as a Service
“Business process as a service (BPaaS) is the delivery of business process outsourcing (BPO) services that are sourced from the cloud and constructed for multitenancy.”
- Gartner
5 Key Differences
There are many differences between the modern BPaaS method of service delivery and traditional BPO. However, you can focus on five crucial areas to see the most differentiation, and ultimately, benefit, from BPaaS.
01Model
BPO:Integration
Incorporating business process events into an existing platform presents complex challenges unique to each step of every process across their respective lifespans. From initial implementation to routine management, integrated solutions need workarounds to function properly.
What it means to you:
- Applying a one-size-fits-most approach is heavy-handed, complicated and extremely expensive.
- BPO services exist outside your organization’s processes with multiple failure points.
- No single point of contact for FAQs or to error correction.
BPaaS:In-Application
Business process events are delivered, scheduled and processed inside your existing Workday environment without the requirement of external resources or third-party dependencies.
What it means to you:
- Deployments are sleek and cost-effective.
- We operate inside of Workday to deliver your services, allowing us to act as an extension of your team.
- One application, one service provider and one point of contact. Help is always within reach.
02Viability
BPO:Inflexibility
Rigid infrastructure is incapable of accommodating routine business behaviors and growth periods.
What it means to you:
- Inherently fixed and restricts growth.
BPaaS:Scalable
Adaptive infrastructure is designed to resize with an organization, supporting business requirements before, during and after stages of change.
What it means to you:
- Inherently flexible and inspires growth.
03Service
BPO:Customized
Specialized client services are designed to do certain things a certain way at certain times. Predefined services require retrofitting to perform the functions you need, in your way and on your time.
What it means to you:
- BPO services are intentionally restrictive.
- Requires major coding and integration modifications that cost time and money.
BPaaS:Configured
Standardized client services combine the reliability of a pre-built service with the functional value of a built-to-order service.
What it means to you:
- OneSource services solutions are intentionally consistent.
- Like wizard-based software, choose what to turn on and get ready to reap the benefits.
04Process
BPO:Manual
Lift and shift manual processes are constantly exposed to human error.
What it means to you:
- BPO services are only as dependable as the users who operate them.
- Increased risk and resources concentrated on fixing problems.
BPaaS:Automated
Automated processes eliminate instances of human error.
What it means to you:
- OneSource Virtual services ensure quality, drive compliance and free up valuable resources.
- Reduced risk and teams focused on strategic projects that move your business onward and upward.
05Visibility
BPO:Hindsight Analysis
Off-premise management of business activities can result in reduced information control, loss of vital data and the inability to evaluate trends as they occur.
What it means to you:
- BPO services create an illusion of agility by forcing you to give up control of your data. Out of sight, out of mind.
BPaaS:Transparency
Delivery of automated business processes through cloud-hosted networks allows you to maintain immediate access and complete control of your data.
What it means to you:
- OneSource Virtual provides actual agility through real-time access to your data. Seeing is believing.
