Outsourcing Setups that SMEs Can Choose From

There are different outsourcing setups, and they vary according to your business needs. This article will list the advantages of different outsourcing setups and discuss the optimum conditions on where and how to deploy them. Let’s get this going. 

Different Outsourcing Setups and Its Advantages

Listed below are some of our outsourcing models that you may find helpful.

Third-Party Outsourcing

Third-party outsourcing is the most common delivery model associated with BPOs in the Philippines. It involves transferring tasks to an entity outside the organization. According to a study by the Everest Research Institute, outsourcing to an offshore vendor is more affordable than establishing a captive unit owned by the company.

Project-Based Outsourcing

Suitable for companies looking for short-term cost savings on one-time or test projects of low to medium complexity. This model is ideal for projects with well-defined requirements. You may choose this if demand is irregular or you cannot hire full-time employees.

Dedicated Offshore Center

Clients who want a cost-effective alternative to in-house production often use an option. Dedicated offshore centers establish a team of local professionals. This team would be working full-time for the client.

Captive Centers

They are also called offshore shared services. Captive centers are an in-house delivery model. The company owns some business process facilities in locations outside its principal office. As a subsidiary, it allows the company to support lower-cost offshore resources. Meanwhile, it maintains complete control over processes.

Hybrid Model

Today, captive centers have matured into a hybrid model. These models could represent 15 to 20 percent of all work sent to offshore providers. At least 80% of the captive units in Manila alone provide voice, back-office, and IT-related services. About half of the captive units providing voice services are owned by a U.S. company.
