competent and well-qualified professionals, of leading companies, are trained to

manage accounting jobs for a business organization. The reason behind receiving

these jobs is the low cost expense an MNC has to bear. Major countries in

accounting outsourcing are China and India, they operate at a very low rate of

service. It is extremely important that the credibility and accountability of a

company is checked before handling important responsibilities of banking. One

more important aspect is data security, hence checking security systems are also

important and confidential documents would be shared.

The various services provided by accounting outsourcing firms in India are

BANKING BPO

Banking Business Process Outsourcing brings maximum results and lowers your operating cost. It helps your company be more flexible and helps you concentrate on core competencies. Moreover, your key staff is freed from performing non-crucial processes, which means that they can invest more time and energy in building the firm’s core businesses. In these tough times, banks and other financial institutions must look at every possible way to improve company performance and efficiency while keeping costs at a low level. Banks and other financial institutions

Page 4: Bpo Original

will clearly withstand the storm by outsourcing banking operations instead of building entire facilities or departments to delegate these activities.

 

BPO BANKING PROCESS

Banks traditionally generate profits from bank deposits. However, due to the onset of global financial crisis, depositors are expected to hold on to their money and make less bank deposits. This is why financial institutions need to concentrate more on credit collection, maintaining non-revenue generating assets at a low level and providing a way out to people who have bad debts while keeping costs and expenses at a minimum. This is where product sales, lead generation and extra marketing come in to help the company specialize on core competencies or diversify to create income.

 

MORTGAGE BPO

Our Mortgage Process Outsourcing services consist of lead generation, custom list building/data mining and CRM lead management of the front end. Our back end mortgage process outsourcing covers loan origination, loan processing and IT software solutions.

 

BPO FOR THE BANKING INDUSTRY

Most banks are beginning to realize that they can minimize operating costs by outsourcing their non-core business processes. Depending on whether they employ US BPO firms or overseas facilities like our BPO Philippines location, they can save considerable amount of time and money. Other banks would employ a mix of outsourcing and insourcing to minimize operating costs.

 

BANKING INDUSTRY INSOURCING VS. OUTSOURCING

Insourcing is assigning a company’s non-core activities to a separate unit that is under its control, whereas outsourcing means delegating these activities to an

Page 5: Bpo Original

external unit that can manage and control them. If your company has a number of non-critical processes, like in a bank, then it is better to outsource. However, if your company is involved with production, then go for insourcing to gain better control. Call Com Inc. specializes in setting up business processes that offer solutions like on-site training, internal CRM software solutions, call center management and BPO management services. These projects will help your company become efficient and effective. Your company may also want to use a combination of these two to get the best of both business solutions.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a subset of outsourcing that involves the contracting of the operations and responsibilities of specific business functions (or processes) to a third-party service provider. Originally, this was associated with manufacturing firms, such asCoca Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply chain.[1] In the contemporary context, it is primarily used to refer to the

Page 6: Bpo Original

outsourcing of business processing services to an outside firm, replacing in-house services with labor from an outside firm.

BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing - which includes internal business functions such as human resources or financeand accounting, and front office outsourcing - which includes customer-related services such as contact center services.

BPO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore outsourcing. BPO that is contracted to a company's neighboring (or nearby) country is called nearshore outsourcing.

Given the proximity of BPO to the information technology industry, it is also categorized as an information technology enabled service orITES. Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and legal process outsourcing (LPO) are some of the sub-segments of business process outsourcing industry.

What is business process outsourcing (BPO)? BPO is the process of hiring another company to handle business activities for you.

BPO is distinct from information technology (IT) outsourcing, which focuses on hiring a third-party company or service provider to do IT-related activities, such as application management and application development, data center operations, or testing and quality assurance.

In the early days, BPO usually consisted of outsourcing processes such as payroll. Then it grew to include employee benefits management. Now it encompasses a number of functions that are considered "non-core" to the primary business strategy.

Now it is common for organizations to outsource financial and administration (F&A) processes, human resources (HR) functions, call center and customer service activities and accounting and payroll.

These outsourcing deals frequently involve multi-year contracts that can run into hundreds of millions of dollars. Often, the people performing the work internally for the client firm are transferred and become employees for the service provider. Dominant outsourcing service providers in the BPO fields (some of which also dominate the IT outsourcing business) include US companies IBM, Accenture, and

Page 7: Bpo Original

Hewitt Associates, as well as European and Asian companies Capgemini, Genpact, TCS, Wipro and Infosys.

Many of these BPO efforts involve offshoring -- hiring a company based in another country -- to do the work. India is a popular location for BPO activities.

Frequently, BPO is also referred to as ITES -- information technology-enabled services. Since most business processes include some form of automation, IT "enables" these services to be performed.

An offshoot of BPO is KPO -- knowledge process outsourcing. Considered by some to be a subset of BPO, KPO includes those activities that require greater skill, knowledge, education and expertise to handle. For example, whereas an insurance company might outsource data entry of its claims forms as part of a BPO initiative, it may also choose to use a KPO service provider to evaluate new insurance applications based on a set of criteria or business rules; this work would require the efforts of a more knowledgeable set of workers than the data entry would. The current definition of KPO encompasses R&D, product development and legal e-discovery, as well as a number of other business functions.

Also coming into use is the term BTO -- business transformation outsourcing. This refers to the idea of having service providers contribute to the effort of transforming a business into a leaner, more dynamic, agile and flexible operation.

What is Outsourcing?

Outsourcing can be defined as “the strategic use of outside resources to perform activities traditionally handled by internal staff and resources.: Outsourcing is a strategy by which an organization contracts out major functions to specialized and efficient service providers, who become valued business partners. Sometimes outsourcing involves the transfer of employees from the company to the outsourcing company.

Why do companies outsource?

Here are some common reasons:

* Reduce and control operating costs* Improve company focus* Gain access to world class capabilities* Free internal resources for other purposes* A function is time consuming to manage or is out of control* Insufficient resources are available internally* Share risks with a partner company

In the early days, cost or headcount reduction were the most common reasons to outsource. In today’s world the drivers are often more strategic, and focus on carrying out core value-adding activities in-house where an organization can best utilize its own core competencies. Main factors influencing successful outsourcing The critical areas for a successful outsourcing program are:

*Understanding company goals and objectives*A strategic vision and plan*Selecting the right vendor* Ongoing management of the relationships* A properly structured contract* Open communications with affected individual/groups* Senior executive support and involvement* Careful attention to personnel issues* Short-term financial justification

Page 9: Bpo Original

From this list open communications and executive support are of paramount importance in a successful outsourcing process. Additional consideration should be for a workable Service Level Agreement, which is openly available, to all staff involved.

Open Communication

Whatever the outcome of the outsourcing arrangement, managing change is fundamental to the success of the program. Assessing stakeholder requirements is the first part of this process, and having open channels of communications during this time are vital. Everyone concerned should be involved in the process.

Executive Support

Strategic objectives, such as outsourcing initiatives must come from the top echelons of a company. Senior management must articulate the goals and objectives of the outsourcing initiative and communicate how the process will benefit the organization

Today’s managers are looking ahead and recognizing that the responsibility for ensuring the success of their enterprise’s outsourcing initiatives does not stop when the ink has dried on the contract, Unfortunately, this has not always been the case. A combination of uncertainty combined with a lack of attention to critical details has created a present day scenario where, according to The Gartner Group, 25% of outsourcing contracts will be re-negotiated or canceled within three years. Ongoing management of the relationship is important. Senior management must stay involved during the implementation of the contract. Not only should there be a clearly defined escalation procedure, but senior management should meet at appropriate intervals to discuss the outsourcing relationship. Meetings should also be held at the operational level to address the working of the outsourcing contract in practice, to identify and resolve any problems that have been encountered, and to agree on changes to ensure continued satisfaction

The two-sided coin

To outsource or not to outsource is a question you will probably ask yourself at some stage in your business life. If you haven’t already done so that is. Most of us find it very hard to let go of some aspects of business and put them into the hands of a stranger. I can’t blame you for feeling that way if you do.

Page 10: Bpo Original

I felt the same way when I first got my head around the concept of outsourcing. I had arrived at a crucial business road junction; it was either mental and physical burnout (again); or trusting some aspects of my business into the hands of other writers and expanding my business, despite all the risks.I choose option number two and I tell you why in a minute…When first considering outsourcing, most people think about letting go of control and how this can affect the quality of work. It’s the classic example of thinking that the “other” person can’t do as good a job. I also call it the perfectionist’s syndrome and used to suffer from it myself. So we tend to freak out, thinking there is no way we can afford to lower out standards to work with others while being paid a fraction of the profits. But this isn’t so. Who says your standards have to lower? After all, you will still be the one in the driving seat.

No machine is perfect, not even humans

If you are good at something, it is hard to let go of the reigns and give another person control. Fact is, that despite the quality of work you might provide, you can only manage what is physically possible within any given day.

If you are sick, nothing gets done If you are on vacations, nothing gets done If you are burned out, guess what? Nothing gets done…

Therefore at some point in time you will have to face the simple truth; to outsource and grow, or to keep on pushing your limits. The truth of the matter is, outsourcing is the ONLY way to grow your business to the next level. If you don’t believe me, I encourage you to read the book:“The e-Myth Revisited” by Michael E.Gerber. This book is a true eye-opener.Unless you can increase your income with the help of software and machines you will always depend on the input of manpower. Since you can only physically work so many hours a day you are severely limited by time and your own inability to duplicate your efforts, unless you hire others to do it for you.

Cons of outsourcing

On the downside it will take a lot of your time to train your team to do what you want them to do. The more time you are prepared to invest into the training and setting up of systems that can be semi-automated, the easier this whole outsourcing thing will become over time.Be prepared to spend some of your valuable time answering team questions. I strongly advise you to document them for template creation so that you don’t have

Page 11: Bpo Original

to do the same things twice. The next time one of your team members asks you the same question again you simply hand them a template. Problem fixed. Time saved.The hardest part will be to let go of some aspects of your business. You have to learn to trust others to do as good a job as you – if not better, and that’s perfectly fine. At this stage I’m not ready to give up the managerial control of my business, but this could possibly change in the future – especially if I want to live the 4-hour work week.

Outsourcing equals profits

What many entrepreneurs fail to see is the fact that outsourcing will increase your profits, provided you keep a portion of the income for yourself. It is a conscious decision to re-invest your income into your business for future growth, and if you do it right, you will earn money while you sleep.

How much money should you keep?

This is a good question. From personal experience there is no right or wrong in the amount of money you should pay your outsourced team for the work they do as long as they are paid fairly, and according to their experience/abilities.My advice is to aim for at least 30% profits. This means if the client pays you $100 for project you should be paid $30 minimum. This is your payment for the time you spent marketing your business, branding, communicating and advertising. In short, this is your income for lead generation.The best way to get a feel for the right profit margins is to just do it. With time you will get a feeling for the market and be able to gauge the pay vs profit split instantly.

Where to outsource?

One of the biggest questions people have in relation to outsourcing is where to find good people. My answer is, it depends on your niche. As a copywriter I have certain standards to uphold, and therefore all of the writers on my team are English-speaking natives. In this line of business it’s a matter of quality control. I have to be 100% certain my writers can handle content creation using proper grammar and spelling.For web design work and my own niche sites I employ two staff from the Philippines who are both awesome and hardworking. I found them on www.onlinejobs.ph (just in case you wonder).

Business outsourcing has become very common in recent times (since the 1980s). By outsourcing, we mean the transfer of the daily business execution and/or management, either partly or completely to an external service provider. Over here, the organization is referred to as the 'client' and the service provider as the 'supplier'. Both parties sign a contractual agreement, which enlist the services that are to be transferred by the client company. Outsourcing management is required to maintain a healthy relationship between the client and the supplier companies. 

In general, outsourcing is implemented to lower the financial cost of the company. Some of the business domains that are normally engaged in outsourcing include accounting, information technology and human resources. Some companies do transfer their services like customer care (e.g. call center), telemarketing, market research and data entry. Though, there are many advantages of business outsourcing, there are also certain associated risks. Let's discuss in brief about the advantages and risks of outsourcing.

Advantages of Outsourcing: 

Among the many benefits of outsourcing, the primary advantage is saving money. The client can achieve maximum productivity with minimum cost. Other advantages of outsourcing are:

Outsourcing is a way of risk sharing. By outsourcing your business enterprise to a third-party, you are minimizing the risk. This works in the same principle, as that of diversifying investments in various plans.

By outsourcing some of the services, the existing experienced employees can concentrate on critical issues and/or core business activities of the company. In other words, it helps in problem solving and the overall growth and development of the company.

In business outsourcing, skilled employees are hired at low rates, which in turn, makes it possible to hire employees in large numbers. Thus, increasing the productivity of the company.

In addition, the quality and speed of the outsourced activities are increased. The client companies can save on taxes by hiring the right outsourcing companies. The client can continue their business operation without worrying about updating

Page 13: Bpo Original

technology, which is a costly affair.

Risks of Outsourcing: 

After the contractual agreement is signed, it is the responsibility of the supplier to look after the day-to-day business operations. With business outsourcing, the client company has less control over the services that have been outsourced and also the people who are rendering these services (to some extent). Following are some of the risks of outsourcing:

There are chances of fraud by the third party. For example, there may be risk of data leakage, especially in IT companies.

One of the major risks is the failure of delivering products in time. The third party may fail to deliver the products before the deadline incurring substantial losses to the client company.

Many a times, the cost of transferring knowledge is very expensive. It is also observed that the productivity of the outsourced services is less in the first year of the agreement.

Some new companies opt for outsourcing in order to speed up the establishment process. For example, initially, the company may not have enough manpower to handle the services or may be the company does not have sufficient money to invest in advanced softwares for the company to perform effectively. In such a situation, outsourcing comes to the rescue. Outsourcing is also the best option, in case a company decides to expand and establish outside the residential country. Nowadays, there are professionals who can assist in determining whether a company requires outsourcing or not.

Just as there are several reasons to outsource your passive income, there are also a few reasons to not outsource that you want to consider before doing so. Outsourcing can give you a clear advantage over your competition and can accelerate your earnings potential. It also has the ability, if managed correctly, to free up an enormous amount of your time that can be used to focus on creating additional streams of income.

Outsourcing your work is not something that you should take lightly. You need to identify which tasks and jobs make sense to outsource and which ones should still

Page 14: Bpo Original

be handled internally. Hiring contractors and outside help for your business must be planned and managed properly in order to be considered a success. It is not like you can just flip a switch and everything is automatically handled for you.While outsourcing your work can help transform your business into more of a passive income stream – there is still some required work on your part. Here are 3 reasons to not outsourceyour passive income that you should think about.1. Losing Control – As soon as you outsource some of your work, you lose some

of the control you once had. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, entrepreneurs are use to being completely in charge. Now you must rely on others to complete work for your business. You will also be required to manage the work of your outsourced help to ensure the contractors are completing their work on time and accurately.

2. Lack of Business Skills – In my professional career, I have worked with many IT contractors who develop various software programs. Some of the hardest working and most dedicated employees I know are temporary or contract workers. While most of these IT contractors are some of the best computer programmers you would ever meet, they typically have one drawback in common – lack of business skills. Hiring outside your company to fill various temporary jobs brings in professionals with little understanding of how your business is run. Depending on the job, it could take some time to get them up to speed on understanding the business to allow them to complete their jobs.

3. Cultural & Language Barrier – There are times when a contractor’s language or cultural background that is different than yours may cause a problem. For example, you probably wouldn’t want to hire a ghost writer to create articles for you who wasn’t fluent in English for use on an English speaking website. The internet has opened up the channels to hire contractors and freelancers from all around the world, which has helped to reduce costs for you the business owner. At the same time, it has also introduced potential barriers you must consider.

While the 3 reasons not to outsource your passive income listed above should always be factored into your decisions – there are ways to avoid them. Taking the time to interview each qualified candidate and checking their references is a must. If you do your due diligence on the resources you plan to hire, you should drastically reduce any negative impacts.

Another preventative measure that can be taken to avoid any conflicts with contract workers is to be an effective manager of your resources. Be sure to define your requirements and expectations with these resources before they begin work

Page 15: Bpo Original

and set time lines they need to follow. Communication is the key and as long as you hired qualified and trustworthy candidates, it should make your job a lot easier!

“Oct. 21, 2010  The list of companies that outsource jobs is growing and appears to be the large corporations with headquarters in the United States. These American companies are part of the reason why the unemployment rates are climbing.  The list grows longer each year as more companies seeking to cut labor costs send jobs overseas leaving more Americans without an income. American Corporations that Outsource American Jobs If the trend continues the Gross national product will disappear and more Americans will be below the poverty level. Some political parties blame this all on the Democrats but job losses have steadily increased for the last 10 years since no one is stopping it from happening. Corporate interests complain of high taxes, high labor costs but not many are invested in keeping America strong. Cheap labor in foreign countries and lower taxes are appealing however when you have a sluggish economy, and consumers who cannot afford to buy goods,  the ultimate problem is finding buyers for all the cheaply made foreign products. Jobs, jobs and more jobs, everyone want’s jobs. As young adults graduate from college they can’t find a job.  This is where small businesses shine since they are the biggest segment of the economy that create jobs.  The small town businesses fueled by innovative entrepreneurs are the force that will create jobs. These entrepreneurs need stimulus and we need to help them achieve their goals. Most Americans agree they would rather buy American made products than sending their money to a foreign country. China has been the leader of cheaply made products but what is it doing to the American economy?  Products imported from China are cheap this is true, but they do not have longevity and end up in our landfills faster than every before. Durable consumer goods are a thing of the past and today you find your replacing your coffee maker every year, as well as other household appliances simply because they are cheap and of lower quality. For Americans to shift the paradigm the slogan “Buy American” is the only way to stimulate the economy. If you see any of these companies or purchase their products just know that they are part of the economic job drain and find alternatives. ”

Here’s 5 Reasons to Outsource Your Work:1. Saves You Time: How much is your time worth to you? Is it worth it to you to pay someone $25 so you have the time to go to your kid’s sporting events or do something with your friends? Chances are, the answer is yes. Nobody can be everywhere and do everything at once all at the same. If your time is vital to you –

Page 16: Bpo Original

and it should be – then outsourcing is a fantastic way to delegate those tasks that are the most time consuming and least rewarding.2. Build a Team: Real estate teams not surprisingly typically succeed and long surpass over other individual agents in the office and region. Is it because they’re that much better? Not at all. They simply have more time to get more clients, and more clients always equals more sales. When someone else is licking envelopes and writing blog posts, you have a lot more time for networking events, making phone calls, and more. Usually once a team is established, they can get many phone calls and business just on their reputation alone.3. Strengthen Your Weaknesses: There’s a excellent chance that as a real estate agent you’re not an expert in web design. Maybe you are clueless when it comes to real estate video marketing. It’s okay to not be a technical expert. But by ignoring these types of powerful marketing tools, you could be losing a lot of business. When you hire a well qualified expert to take over on these things, you can strengthen your weaknesses. Whatever you couldn’t do on your own is now possible.4. Make More Money: The saying “You’ve gotta spend money to make money” can really hold right in this situation. While you need to be careful that your outsourcing budget is being spent wisely, typically the less time you are wasting on mundane activities like filling out the blank forms on your office’s file folders, the more likely you’ll be able to spend time doing activities that really generate revenue and sales. If you marketed an extra 10 hours per week, you would likely pick up at least one extra client per week, if not more. That extra client could equal several thousands of dollars, not to mention potential referrals for many years to come.5. Gain a Competitive Edge: It’s quite likely that your competitors are NOT outsourcing. So many agents, even ones who are doing quite well, are worried to take on the responsibility of hiring someone else to do their tasks. Being a few steps ahead of other agents in your area can truly make a difference on being successful and just being so-so.These are just a few of the many reasons to outsource. I’m sure that many of you can add in reasons why you do or don’t outsource.

Types of OutsourcingOne challenge every business enterprise faces nowadays is to find niches that generate the most income. Several companies are wary to venture on additional expenditures that do not promise considerable yield. This is the main reason why companies resort to outsourcing activities. Outsourcing is divided into three types: technology services outsourcing, business process outsourcing and knowledge process outsourcing.

Technology Services Outsourcing Due to the fast-changing world, business enterprises find it necessary to invest on sophisticated technologies and systems. Technological innovations are fueling the rapid evolution of business and economic models. Companies have to adapt to these changes in order to thrive in a competitive market. Some of these technologies include electronic commerce, network infrastructures, applications, telecommunications and website development. Investing on a whole new set of manpower to perform these tasks is apparently, an additional capital expenditure. In-house employees may perform such functions but not as good as getting a third-party firm that specializes on the field and are sure to be more cost-effective.

Business Process Outsourcing Business Process Outsourcing, more commonly known as BPO started back in 1995 during the advent of internet business. It involves operational functions such as customer relationsmanagement, equipments, accounting, human resources, logistics, procurement, security, documentations, insurance, health care, manufacturing, and media outsourcing. In BPO, specific tasks, especially those outside the core competency of a company, is outsourced to a third-party firm.

BPO can be further divided into two: front office tasks and back office tasks. Front office functions are customer-oriented such as marketing, customer service and technical support. Back office tasks are more on internal work (e.g. billing, payroll, purchasing).

Other operations outsourced by enterprises include multimedia, bookkeeping, consultancy,data entry, proof-reading and editing, as well as medical transcription. As internet technologies advance, so is business process outsourcing.

Knowledge Process Outsourcing A more sophisticated level of outsourcing relative to BPO is knowledge process outsourcing (KPO). This involves advanced research, analytical, and technical skills which means that providers are expected to work independently. It is also important to note that in BPO, all processes are still laid out by the client whereas KPO specialists are given managerial control. Examples of KPO include: pharmaceutical research and development, intellectual property research, content writing, and database development services.

Among the three types, KPO is the older form of outsourcing and usually involves short-term and peripheral projects. BPO, however, is considered as the most popular among the three types especially if one is to consider that most companies outsource business processes to offshore locations such as the Philippines.

BANKING BPO

Banking Business Process Outsourcing brings maximum results and lowers your operating cost. It helps your company be more flexible and helps you concentrate on core competencies. Moreover, your key staff is freed from performing non-crucial processes, which means that they can invest more time and energy in

Page 21: Bpo Original

building the firm’s core businesses. In these tough times, banks and other financial institutions must look at every possible way to improve company performance and efficiency while keeping costs at a low level. Banks and other financial institutions will clearly withstand the storm by outsourcing banking operations instead of building entire facilities or departments to delegate these activities.

 BPO BANKING PROCESs

Banks traditionally generate profits from bank deposits. However, due to the onset of global financial crisis, depositors are expected to hold on to their money and make less bank deposits. This is why financial institutions need to concentrate more on credit collection, maintaining non-revenue generating assets at a low level and providing a way out to people who have bad debts while keeping costs and expenses at a minimum. This is where product sales, lead generation and extra marketing come in to help the company specialize on core competencies or diversify to create income.

 MORTGAGE BPO

Our Mortgage Process Outsourcing services consist of lead generation, custom list building/data mining and CRM lead management of the front end. Our back end mortgage process outsourcing covers loan origination, loan processing and IT software solutions.

BPO FOR THE BANKING INDUSTRY

Most banks are beginning to realize that they can minimize operating costs by outsourcing their non-core business processes. Depending on whether they employ US BPO firms or overseas facilities like our BPO Philippines location, they can save considerable amount of time and money. Other banks would employ a mix of outsourcing and insourcing to minimize operating costs.

BANKING INDUSTRY INSOURCING VS. OUTSOURCING

Insourcing is assigning a company’s non-core activities to a separate unit that is under its control, whereas outsourcing means delegating these activities to an external unit that can manage and control them. If your company has a number of non-critical processes, like in a bank, then it is better to outsource. However, if your company is involved with production, then go for insourcing to gain better control.

management and BPO management services. These projects will help your company become efficient and effective. Your company may also want to use a combination of these two to get the best of both business solutions.

Mortgage BPO Lender BPO Mortgage Processing Outsourcing Loan Origination Outsourcing Finance and Accounting Outsourcing Customer Service Credit BPO Call Centers Banking BPO In USA US BPO Outsource USA BPO Attrition BPO Philippines CRM BPO How Banks Can Leverage Their Call Centers for Competitive

Advantage Author:  Stephen Pappas

With companies in the banking industry experiencing higher levels of customer churn than ever before, reliance on contact centers to maximize account holder satisfaction and retention has increased exponentially.   Additionally, as banks put pressure on their call centers to make greater contributions to bottom-line growth, agents who were previously focused on support must now take on the role of sales rep – something they are ill-equipped to do. 

Page 23: Bpo Original

Many banks still struggle to fully leverage their call centers to build stronger customer relationships, and to serve as an alternate sales channel.  However, the need to do so has become increasingly urgent as customers move their accounts from one bank to another at an alarming rate, and mergers, acquisitions, and closures run rampant within the market. 

So, what can banks do to transform their contact centers into strategic competitive tools?

Find the Balance Between Self-Service and a Personal Touch Self-service Web sites are very prominent among banks and financial

institutions.  Yet, empowering account holders to “help themselves” to everything from funds transfers to account closures creates a new set of challenges – for example, it hinders relationship-building and prevents opportunities to up-sell and cross-sell.  “Banks worry that they may be pushing customers too far down the path of independence. The repercussions of doing so could include stymieing banks’ efforts to become trusted advisors and providers of most, if not all, of their customers’ financial needs,” said a consultant from leading financial industry analyst firm Celent.  But, finding the balance between giving customers the convenience they demand, and maintaining one-on-one interaction with them, is not easy.  Banks must approach this problem very carefully, using personalized outreach strategies in combination with self-service. 

Change the Way Agents Think In order to deliver the kind of superior service account holders demand,

agents need to transform the way they think.  It’s not about answering questions, one at a time.  It’s about relationship building.  Each and every call is an opportunity to increase loyalty and profitability by building a stronger bond with the customer.  Training programs must encourage this mindset, and provide agents with the appropriate skills.     

Sell, Sell, Sell Today’s banks depend on cross-selling to support expansion and growth

strategies – particularly as they diversify into other areas of financial management, such as insurance and brokerage.  Yet, a recent survey conducted by O’Connor and Associates found that agents at the country’s 15 largest banks attempt to cross-sell only 14 percent of the time.  Cross-selling is a skill that is not so easy to master.  So, agents must be empowered with stronger sales savvy – so they can instantly identify an opportunity, and intelligently recommend specific services and products based on a customer’s behaviors and needs. 

Increase the Focus on Performance Management

Page 24: Bpo Original

A report issued by the American Bankers Association and Frontline FTR claims that contact center managers are too focused on issues like hiring and retention, and don’t pay enough attention to crucial performance metrics such as customer satisfaction, achievement of sales goals, etc.  As a result, the study states, there is a major gap between customer loyalty objectives, and actual retention rates.  That’s why experts agree that supervisors need to focus as much on interaction quality as they do on agent productivity. 

In the next post, we will highlight the many types of tools and technologies that are available to help banks transform their call centers into strategic entities that provide a substantial competitive edge.

The banker of all banks, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Indian Banks Association (IBA) and top 20 banks like IDBI, HSBC, ICICI, ABN AMRO, etc. has been well defined under three separate heads with one page dedicated to each bank.

However, in the introduction part of the entire banking cosmos, the past has been well explained under three different heads namely:

History of Banking in India Nationalisation of Banks in India Scheduled Commercial Banks in India

The first deals with the history part since the dawn of banking system in India. Government took major step in the 1969 to put the banking sector into systems and it nationalised 14 private banks in the mentioned year. This has been elaborated in Nationalisationof Banks in India. The last but not the least explains about the scheduled and unscheduled banks in India. Section 42 (6) (a) of RBI Act 1934 lays down the condition of scheduled commercial banks. The description along with a list of scheduled commercial banks are given on this page.

Outsourcing refers to the practice of one company contracting another to do certain types of work rather than using its own internal resources. Outsourcing typically involves the transfer of the management or day-to-day execution of an entire business function to an external service provider. Three notable types of outsourcing are application development, IT infrastructure outsourcing, and business process outsourcing. 

Typically, outsourcers for software applications perform custom development, maintenance, reengineering, porting, integration, and other tasks. IT infrastructure outsourcers provide such activities as data center operations, network operations, backup and recovery services, and administration services. Business process outsourcers may offer call center services, or specialize in back-office tasks like billing and invoicing.

Other outsourcing activities include:

software development software maintenance data storage management services system administration services end user support of desktop PCs, laptops, and handheld devices web site, or application hosting.

Why Choose Outsourcing

There are a number of reasons that drive companies to outsource some or many of the work activities. The list of reasons include:

Lower costs (or lower total costs). Sometimes achieved through lower wages costs, but also through economies of scale by providing the same service to multiple companies. Improve service. Often, better educated or skilled people perform the task, and thus perform it better. Obtain expert skills. An outsource firm is allegedly an expert in that particular activity, and thus should be able to do it better than the customer.

Page 29: Bpo Original

Improve processes. Given that outsourcers are very experienced at a particular set of processes, they can help the customer to improve their processes. Improve focus on core activities. Outsourcing frees management from having to worry about the inner-workings of a non-core activity. The customer focuses on their core competence, the outsourcer focuses on theirs.

How to Choose an Outsourcing vendor

Experts point to the importance of investigating vendors thoroughly before signing any contracts. They recommend requesting documentation and other information to substantiate strengths, experience, and success in the following areas:

Financial stability To withstand the fluctuation of the current economy the provider should be well-funded and have a wide client base across which to spread costs. Organizations should ask themselves, "Is there a chance this company will close its doors within the next two years due to lack of capital?" 

Years in business While outsourced security services are fairly new, security products and companies are not. A provider with several years in the security business offers valuable experience and stability.

MSS experience Clients should ask for biographies of personnel managing the MSSP. Note background and leadership skills, among other items. Effective leaders are capable of motivating team members to be disciplined and dedicated to the detailed security tasks.

Customers While investigating, organizations should ask how long the average client relationship has lasted and ask for comments from existing customers regarding the services provided. 

ReputationClients may take note of comments from third parties, such as analysts and industry trade writers. However, this should not replace a thorough, in-person investigation.

Outsourcing BPO - The BenefitsBritish Trade and Industry Secretary, Patricia Hewitt, at a national conference of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said, "It is much easier to see the short term benefits of protectionism than to see the long term costs to consumers and business competitiveness."This is the crux of the pro-outsourcing argument. Outsourcing BPO Services to India offers benefits not only in terms of cost reduction, but also in terms of increased productivity and quality. Companies along with their customers benefit since they can access some of the best talent and expertise in the industry at lower rates.

Outsourcing BPO to India - The Cost SavingsBob Beauchamp, BMC Software President and CEO talked about the backlash in the US where an economic rebound had not created jobs. Addressing the Product and Embedded Software Summit in Bangalore he said that there may be a backlash, "But as studies have indicated that for every one dollar invested in India, the value derived by the US economy is between $12-14." He termed outsourcing to India as "irreversible" and said it was a "must have" to improve the Indian and global economy.NASSCOM has tried to address some of the concerns voiced by anti-outsourcing parties especially about the benefits to the American economy.The study shows that US businesses have witnessed significant cost savings by offshoring to India.

The US banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector's costs are 7-10% lower than that of its European counterparts

American BFSI companies have saved $6 billion in the last four years by offshoring to India.

Page 36: Bpo Original

Outsourcing BPO to India - The Value AdditionThe NASSCOM study continues to explain the added benefits. BFSI offshoring has resulted in quality and productivity gains of 15-20% and customer satisfaction of almost 85%.The report gives a striking example of the success of the automobile industry in the US due to outsourcing. Today, this industry is the largest in the world and two of the biggest automobile companies are American. The industry has the same number of professionals it did in 1994 as it did in 1974, which is 900,000. Over this same period sales and services in this sector grew 20% from 2 million to 2.4 million. Outsourcing gave this industry a competitive edge and opened up opportunities in terms of investing in new equipment and re-engineering processes.The US steel industry, however, resisted outsourcing and suffered greatly despite several tariffs and quotas.

Outsourcing BPO to India - The Long Term BenefitsAmidst the mounting furor against outsourcing one has to examine things more objectively. In the short term, cost benefits and value addition may not be apparent because of the initial investment involved in training and infrastructure. Also outcries against migration of jobs seem to cement the argument. However, as the NASSCOM report shows, the long term benefits are very powerful. Not only does outsourcing BPO to India allow global companies to avail of some of the best talent and expertise at competitive rates, but it also allows the company to actually save several jobs, which it might have had to lay off otherwise.Outsourcing BPO Services to Outsource2IndiaMinimize your operating costs and maximize your revenue by outsourcing your BPO services to Outsource2India.
