The global business process outsourcing market is expected to grow by 105.49 billion USD between 2020 to 2024 and this spike in numbers can be attributed to the transformation brought about by automation.
In today’s world, technology is the single unifying factor that is transforming everything, from the way we carry out everyday essential tasks to the way we work, share and collaborate. If steam power was the driving force behind the industrial revolution, then advanced, cognitive automation can be rightly called the driving force behind the digital transformation in business.
The top business process outsourcing trends continue to be an increased use of AI, increased use of business process automation and a larger move to the use of cloud services delivered from cloud platforms.
During the initial years, outsourcing was only used for basic processes such as data entry and payroll processing. However, as connectivity expanded and the technological skills of BPO companies advanced, businesses started outsourcing more and more processes/services. Today, you can outsource many backend processes and financial/operation functions such as invoice management, accounts payable processing, survey reporting, and utility bill management to name a few.
This has driven innovation and created new business process outsourcing trends and practices.
