The business process outsourcing market is expected to grow by USD 40.16 bn from 2020 to 2025. The growth momentum of the market is projected to accelerate at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period.

Business Process Outsourcing, or BPO, refers to the process of contracting standard business functions to be handled by a party outside of the company. Here are the different types of Business Process Outsourcing:

Front Office Outsourcing

Front Office outsourcing is a type of business process outsourcing that involves the delegation of services that involves the direct assistance of customers at every point in the buyer journey. Services in Front Office Outsourcing are communicating through customer channels via inbound or outbound telephone conversations, e-mailing and messaging, fax, chat, video and other forms of direct interaction with a client’s customer base. Examples of Front Office outsourcing include:

  • Market Research
  • General Customer Support
  • Technical and Service Support
  • Plan or subscription renewals

  • Telesales

Back Office Outsourcing

Back Office outsourcing includes, but is far from limited to, essential support tasks like data entry, Order Payment and Processing, Lead Generation, Appointment Setting, claims and payment processing, HR support services, accounting services, creative services, IT support and technology development. The key difference between Front and Back office BPO is direct interaction with the end customer.

Businesses can also opt to outsource to the following types of BPOs based on geographical preference:
