Outsourcing has in the past always been seen as wage arbitrage. In many ways, some outsourcers have always seen it that way. Some offshore delivery centres always try to sell full time employees. This always means that any growth the firm experiences, means additional headcount.
This neither benefited your client or the firm in the long term. Why do we believe that? This leads to a lack of innovation or efficiency within the process, because you are wholly linked to growing staff head count and their availability to do the work.
Wage arbitrage also then means that outsourcers need to move around the world to the next cheap location to stay “cheap”. Whilst in principle, that is possible, most businesses cannot uproot an entire business from one location to another overnight without having an impact on service levels.
Some businesses culturally find it difficult to improve their business. Professionally run outsourcing businesses consider Quality and Security to be at the centre of their business. If you consider the reasons why you would or wouldn’t outsource, these are the two areas that will keep you from taking the decision to outsource or not. An outsourcing provider that uses external audit of their processes will help you become more comfortable in taking that decision to outsource or not.
Advancetrack®, for example, use BSI to review their Quality and Security protocols to provide customers with an external oversight. It is important that the certification body is one that has global recognition and standing.
We discussed above the need for innovation. Whilst people do become more efficient over time, they are never likely to improve at the pace that technology will move. Technology will also deliver a more consistent approach. This could equally mean that they consistently get it wrong too! Nonetheless, we are seeing great improvements in technology to improve the customer experience.
At Advancetrack®, we have always believed that technology and innovation are at the heart of the process. We believe as a result, our innovation leads to more consistent delivery and we share the benefits of that with our client rms. Our approach has Quality and Security at the heart of it.
