Today’s competitive challenges in the marketplace and the ever-increasing progress in technology has, and is, continually changing the way companies work. Staying competitive means leveraging the available resources and technology globally in an efficient and effective manner. Outsourcing is helping companies do just that!
Outsourcing plays a significant strategic role in the short and long-term goals of the corporate world.

Outsourcing business processes leads to:

Data Analytics and current statistics from many different sources show why your company might look for a business process outsourcing (BPO) service provider.
- What drives organizations to outsource is cost reduction. One of the most trusted outsourcing data and market research, Deloitte’s report, shows that cost reduction has remained the primary objective of outsourcing in past years.

- As per Clutch’s survey, businesses prefer to collaborate with their outsourcing partner to increase efficiency. Through outsourcing, a company can manage more projects with the assurance of high quality.
- Analysts find that the outsourcing market remains a dominant force because the financial objectives play a significant role in collaborating with third-party companies. The market will have a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.1 in 2022-27. In the year 2019, the outsourcing market amounted to US$ 92.5 billion, and the largest share of the revenue came from the USA, followed by Europe.

What Are We Outsourcing - The Trends
When it comes to outsourcing trends in 2022, new outsourcing trends have emerged for greater sustainability, technology advancements, flexibility, and globalization. Here are the outsourcing trends in 2022 that seem promising for the growth of businesses.
Trend 1: Cloud Platform
The cloud platform is the technology that drives collaborative success. Companies carry out critical business functions like data input and management entirely online by adopting cloud infrastructure. BPO service providers ensure maximum efficiency, security, speed, flexibility, and accessibility with effective cloud integration.
- It is a workspace where you can manage remote teams with the real-time status of your projects in real-time; thus, your business gains visibility.
- It is the solution supporting the trend of working from home.
- You can stay connected and collaborate with your team members.
- File sharing is easy with comments and instructions for any of your projects.
Trend 2: Cost Efficiency
Over its history, the BPO industry has been providing companies with cost-effective solutions. The consequences of the ongoing pandemic have affected businesses all over the world, and as a result, the focus is again back on budget optimization and cost reduction, and hence Business Process Outsourcing.
The cost-reduction trend continues to be the primary and dominant driver. The most cost-effective way to grow, scale, and progress continue to be outsourcing. BPO is meeting the growing demand by providing experienced teams in finance and accounting to perform financial services, including accounts payable and receivables.
Trend 3: Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
BPO service providers use innovative technology to address market challenges effectively, enhance products and services and help in keeping operating costs low. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an emerging technology being rapidly adopted by BPO service providers. RPA stands out as the leader in emerging automation and continues to be one of the leading benefits of outsourcing in 2022. BPO service providers are utilizing cutting-edge technology to improve operational efficiency and deliver high quality to their clients.
RPA is being used to automate repetitive business processes through the use of Bots. This technology is enabling BPO service providers to deliver higher accuracy quicker. This results in improved efficiency and profitability.
