Benefits of Outsourcing

Outsourcing is a popular tool for diverse businesses, which has a number of benefits attached to it.  Some of these benefits are:

Cost effective: The most important benefit is that it allows one to get the work done at a very low cost and in a much more efficient way. There is a vast difference in the wage patterns of companies. Outsourcing the processes can lower the costs and increase profit. The saving can be up to 70%.

Higher level effectiveness: Outsourcing work that will be done to people or organisations which possess greater knowledge of the work and have vast experience in that field. This factor automatically raises the standard of the work, and it can be done in a fast and efficient way.

Saves on investment: When work is outsource, the partner who takes over the out sourced work, make necessary infrastructural changes, as per the requirement of the work. You do not need to spend extra on developing infrastructure, saving on Capex.

Saving cost on training and recruitment: When a particular type of process is outsourced, then the company or organisation does not require hiring skilled people for it. There will also be no need for training or recruitment costs.  The work will be handed over to people who are already experts in that trade. This will also bring in efficiency and quality in the work.

Faster results: Doing everything by yourself or within the organisation, reduces the efficiency as a lot of things require attention for success. When outsourcing functions or work, it becomes easy, as part the burden is shared by the outsource partner. It enables quicker and faster development of ideas into concepts.

When you partner with us the strongest provider, you get the best outcome, and no hidden costs or unforeseen risks. 

Not all outsourcing providers are equal. Outsourcing for the first time is a big move, so make sure you choose a provider with a proven track record and no hidden costs.

Outsourcing parts of your business can lead to huge savings and free up your time to focus on what are most important to the business. But when it comes to the value you get from an outsourcing provider, there are lot more to consider than just the price.

Most businesses biggest costs are their employees costs. Cutting your employees costs or project subcontract costs are some of the quickest way to positively impact your bottom line.

 In the past, it was difficult to save on employees costs without undermining quality and productivity. Few years ago, there wasn’t a lot you could do to increase profits, outside of better management, productivity and tools, and you’ve probably already optimised these operational aspects of your business. So additional cost efficiencies are now hard to find.

Businesses growth has been limited by capital expenditures to achieve fast growth protentional, has been restricted by limited financial means to expand. You end up being forced to make tough choices; do we expand the office or spend more on advertising?

Working with Business Assist Consulting, you don’t have to make the up-front investments that are typically associated with rapid growth. Everything’s part of your fixed monthly fee – office space, infrastructure, recruitment fees are taken care of by BA Consulting. So growth is essentially an OPEX item, rather than a CAPEX item.

If you employ locally, what happens when you grow faster than expected, and you need to move to a bigger office? The investment you made in your previous office fit-outs goes to waste and the move to your new office causes your business to grind to a halt.

Or what if you need to downscale? It’s near impossible to reduce the term or scope of your office lease. And even if you could, what do you do with all your extra computers and other IT infrastructure?

Business Assist Consulting takes care of all these needs whiles you grown your business.

In every business, it about taking calculated risks, which are mitigation to make profit. Understanding the risks and making an informed decision is the best option to make sure you are in business for a very long time.

Knowing your outsourcing provider will make sure that not just the price but when comparing the value of outsourcing providers, you definitely need to consider more than just their quoted costs. Even if two providers charge exactly the same total monthly fees, the value each delivers will vary wildly depending on their staff expertise, IT infrastructure and operational capability to meet your demands. There may even be a vast difference in the experience and capabilities of the staff they work with.

So it pays to compare the details to ensure there are no unforeseen risks. Here are the factors to consider when choosing an outsourcing provider:

  • Fees & inclusions
  • Infrastructure
  • Facilities
  • Location
  • Recruitment process
  • Recruitment & HR capability
  • Employee engagement
  • Control & scalability
  • Quality
  • Track record & financial stability

Let’s take a look at each of these important features in more detail, so you can evaluate the Business Assist Consulting model, and judge for yourself why it pays to partner with the strongest offshoring provider in Europe and America.

Unlike most offshoring providers, we break our fees into two components:

Fixed monthly service fee

Salaries

Fixed monthly service fee

Your fixed monthly service fee covers:

World-class facilities and infrastructure

Fully furnished offices including a computer, monitor, mouse and keyboard for each workstation

Support services, including HR, recruitment, finance, payroll, compensation and benefits

High-speed internet (with redundant connections from multiple providers)

24/7 on-site IT support

Client management and team management

With other service providers, you may find that not everything is included in the service fee. And in almost every case, what started out looking like a good deal actually ends up being a ‘from’ price with a shopping list of ‘optional extras’ that quickly add up to the true price.

Salaries

By separating salaries from service costs, we make it very easy for you to see you’re getting the best possible talent for your money. You have complete control over salaries and incentives, and the salary component of your monthly fee goes directly to your staff, without any mark-up.

Most service providers don’t do this. Instead, they charge a ‘fixed hourly rate’ that bundles the service fee and the employee’s salary. This pricing model incentivizes the provider to find the cheapest possible labour, in order to maximize their margin. As a result, candidate quality suffers and staff are quick to leave as soon as they’re offered market rate elsewhere.

We pay market rates for the skills you need. This attracts the best candidates, and ensures they feel valued and rewarded for their work. In fact, Business Assist Consulting’s employee attrition rate is less than half the industry average.

When you’re comparing offshoring services, ask about their infrastructure, technology and emergency systems. The Europe and America is exposed to a number of typhoons each year, and we’ve seen how other businesses get into trouble when the power and internet go out in extreme weather. A cheap or unreliable provider may have skimped on infrastructure, which can make the difference between the success and failure of your offshore investment.

It’s important to make sure you’re getting a reliable service with solid uptime guarantees.

So why choose Business Assist Consulting? Every Business Assist Consulting facility provides 100% infrastructure redundancy and world-class business continuity processes. To keep things running smoothly, our offices have:

Backup generators

Multiple, dedicated internet connections from tier-1 providers at each site (any site can be used as a fail-over for any other site)

24/7/365 dedicated IT support on site

So no matter what the weather throws at the Europe and America, it’s business as usual for you, and your customers won’t notice the difference.
