Outsourcing
Outsourcing, or Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), is at the top of many corporate agendas in today's economy. With a focus on core competencies, more and more companies are outsourcing human resources, IT, procurement and other key business functions in order to reduce fixed costs, streamline and improve performance.
Forrester Research estimates that by 2015 Europe will take a central role in outsourcing and is expected to reach nearly 25 per cent of total global outsource spending.
Procurement plays a central role in any outsourcing agreement. From selecting an outsourcing provider to negotiating the final contract, procurement must understand every aspect of the deal and its financial impact on the organisation.
