Business Process Outsourcing in the Philippines through Web Dot Com

Business process outsourcing has opened the doors of third world countries like the Philippines to global business, inspiring local talent to attain world-class credentials and eligibility. Now that the country has proven its capability at providing a highly qualified pool of human resources, companies around the globe have seen the wisdom of outsourcing in the Philippines. In fact, the Philippines is one of the top recipients of outsourced business processes worldwide.

Through business process outsourcing, companies are able to streamline their operations and lower costs. Certain work processes are sourced out at a fraction of the cost of in-house counterparts. Not only are resources saved but company management time is freed up, as well, to enable them to focus their attention to core business competencies, maximizing the company’s specialization and leveraging income and profit.

Back Office and Front Office Procedures

Business process outsourcing is divided into back office procedures and front office procedures. Back office procedures are internal functions that include, among others, human resources administration, payroll, tax compliance, purchasing and disbursement, order entry, billing and collection, and cash and investment management. Front office procedures are external functions that include, among others, customer relations, marketing and technical support. This contributes to customer satisfaction, strengthens brand loyalty and increases market share.

Front office procedures are often handled by contact centers or call centers. Contact centers provide more comprehensive services beyond voice calls. Unlike call centers, contact centers use a multi-channel contact management platform where customer interaction may also be done over the web or through email, fax and even instant messaging.

Inbound and Outbound Calls

Contact centers handle either inbound or outbound calls. Inbound calls are calls from customers or employees of a client company. The calls are received by a help desk and, depending on the caller’s needs, are routed to the most appropriate persons to handle them. These calls are usually related to customer service needs, sales or technical support.

The contact center is bound by a service-level agreement with the client company, where service goals are stipulated. Several metrics are used in measuring performance, including first call resolution, average handle time and average queuing time.

Outbound calls are made by contact center associates to clients, customers or a lead list. This could involve telemarketing to prospects or current customers, or collections on overdue bills. The interaction is often recorded or tracked by special programs.
