 WHAT IS BPO?
Business Process Outsourcing is the
strategic use of outside resources to perform
activities traditionally handled by internal
staff and resources, none of which are core to
the functioning of the company. It is a
strategy by which an organization contracts
routine functions to service providers who
specialize in such functions. Thus the service
provider is not only responsible for the
execution of a business process but also for
improving it
