Most companies decide to outsource as part of their cost-cutting drive. While this factor may have been relevant earlier, today it is no longer a valid reason for deciding to outsource. Other factors play a significant role. So think long and hard.
One of the most basic reasons for a business to consider outsourcing a task is when there is a requirement for skilled expertise. This allows you to focus on your core competencies while delegating other tasks to people who can perform them better.
The first thing to do to find out if an IT services provider has partnership potential is by going out to meet and interact with them in person. Get a feel about whether they are the kind of team players you’d want to work with. Understand how they normally approach conversations about real business challenges and issues and gauge how they go about bringing value to their outsourcing relationships. Make notes and remember to discuss your assessment internally.
2. Expertise & Experience
Choose an outsourcing partner with deep knowledge and experience in your
industry. This ensures that they will be able to handle the tasks and processes
you plan to outsource. Factor in their technical expertise, skill sets, access to
the latest technologies, experience in solving complex challenges, and the
passion they show for your project.
Make sure that you ask for references from their current or past clients to get a
better understanding of their expertise, and also to gauge how well you can
work together as a team. A competent and reliable outsourcing provider will
not hesitate to provide you with a list of references with up-to-date information.
3. Communication & Client Management
To enable and maintain clear communication with your outsourcing partner,
ensure that everyone on the outsourcing team can be contacted by email,
phone, or other mediums at the designated times that are mutually agreed
upon.
When operating in a different time zone, your outsourcing partner must take
steps to ensure that your working hours overlap to a certain degree to
minimize any lapses in communication. Also set up a single point of contact for
all your queries, feedback or concerns to allow for a smooth exchange of
information between the teams.
4. Strong & Proven Transition Plan
A resource outsourcer's ability to execute a smooth & successful transition
should be top priority. Getting this wrong can have a significantly negative
impact on your business operations. An experienced and reliable outsourcing
partner will have a structured approach in place that allows for the seamless
migration of business processes, following important steps like assessment,
documentation, process maps, and identifying controls.
Choose vendors who have the expertise to design and implement cutting-edge
process improvements like automation, organizational changes, and
streamlined steps. Because there is no point in migrating a poorly functioning
process without any clear and robust plans for improvement, which will only
lead to an inadequate process being repeated.
5. Visibility & Control
One of the main advantages of resource outsourcing is that it provides an
excellent opportunity to improve insights, which in turn boosts productivity and
operational control. Choose an outsourcing partner who establishes regular
reporting metrics from the very start of a relationship, and one who is capable
of leveraging KPI reporting to monitor process and business performance.
Outsourcing partners with strong business intelligence capabilities and
technological expertise can also help set up dashboards that can give you a
real-time pulse of the business. Strong reporting metrics allow you to control
cost and give your teams easy and timely access to the information they
require to perform their functions efficiently.
6. Protect Data & Intellectual Property
Privacy and data security are the primary concerns of businesses when they
decide to outsource a project. Sensitive business information will be shared
with the outsourcing partner from time to time. Apart from signing a
nondisclosure agreement with your outsourcing partner before sharing any
sensitive information, it is important to ensure that they are capable of
managing this data properly.
Consider choosing a partner who regularly conducts network and security
audits in their own workplace, which reflects their commitment to data security.
Ask them about the specific tools that they use which help in securing all your
sensitive data and prevent any data leaks from taking place.
