The global Business Process Management (BPM) industry is constantly changing with continuous evolution in customer needs and behaviors. This change is depending upon a robust outsourcing market. Besides, customers currently are more empowered, more connected to the organizations and to one another, and more diversified worldwide. This is an indicator of how the businesses are going to perform in their near future.
The BPM industry is responding to this by deliberately embracing the cutting-edge technologies. Today, the industrial organizations are realizing that the legacy service models and platforms will make it difficult for them to cope with rapidly changing customer expectations. Thus, with the market transformation, businesses and their outsourcing partners are paving a creative way to transform themselves and stay relevant.
There are significant outsourcing trends that are impacting the BPM industry. These trends are evolving over time as the companies develop new capabilities and strategies to conduct business. These concepts also enable companies to outsource their business and take advantage of the new capabilities arising in the marketplace.
Automation and Digitization
An independent survey projected that most of the international companies will have digital transformation as their business strategy, by the end of this decade. The global outsourcing market is affected by this rapid influence of digitization. This will require wide implementation of disruptive technologies. Organizations need to look for and work with the efficient outsourcing partners that have innovative digital capabilities. This leads to the reduced human-based operations and allows the organizations to focus on their higher-value activities.
Digital transformation is enabled by the automation. The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is also emerging as an exciting trend in the BPM industry. RPA cables the BPM software and cognitive processing to replace the human labor. Many BPM solution providers are embracing it to lower costs in a long run, regardless of the high initial costs.
Automation and digitization are transforming the economics and effectiveness of the global outsourcing market.
Innovation of Services
The innovation of services and operations is influencing the methodology of delivered services within the organizations. These changes are also extended in the delivery of outsourced services significantly. Customer feedbacks have often shown that the outsourcing and innovations are incompatible. The reason is the consumers expect extremely reliable services in a cost-effective manner whenever they interact with an outsourcer. On the other hand, BPM solution providers are driven by a robust bottom line to balance the costs of introducing automation and innovation, at least in a short time span.
