The Expansion of Outsourcing: How Handing Off Business Functions (Like Fleet Management!) Can Benefit Your Company

Outsourcing, often seen as a cost-cutting measure, has evolved to offer numerous benefits, and businesses are catching on. Business process outsourcing (BPO), a type of outsourcing in which companies contract out non-primary, supporting tasks like payroll, customer service and accounting, represents a particular trend for today’s companies. Deloitte’s 2016 Global Outsourcing Survey, which studied emerging outsourcing trends, found the use of outsourcing continues to accelerate across many fields and functions, including IT, human resources, finance, real estate and facilities management. In fact, 36 percent of survey respondents in the finance industry, 32 percent in human resources and 31 percent in IT stated that they will increase their outsourcing services in the future.

Outsourcing benefits

Whatever form it takes, outsourcing creates new opportunities for businesses and their clients. Respondents to Deloitte’s survey said they viewed outsourcing as more than a cost play—outsourcing also allows business owners to focus on core business functions, solve capability issues, improve efficiency and enhance their service quality. When companies no longer have to invest time and energy on front and back office services, they can concentrate on efforts that will really move the needle on their business goals.

Outsourcing also provides clear benefits when it comes to mergers and acquisitions by lowering the operating costs of acquired companies, speeding up the ability to integrate new companies and increasing the operating income. Of the survey respondents conducting merger and acquisition activity, 45 percent said they use outsourcing to lower operating costs and speed up integration of acquired companies.

Increased efficiency, higher quality and lower operating costs—it sounds good, doesn’t it?
