Platform BPO and its Impact on Outsourcing
Platform BPO is also known as Business Platform as a Service (BPaaS) or Business Process as a Utility (BPU) and is essentially an end-to-end process management service hosted on cloud. Platform BPO provides an alternative to legacy outsourcing that has been coming under pressure in the current volatile economic scenario due to its inflexible contracting structure, lack of innovation and want of business value addition. Platform BPO can be viewed as a union of Software as a Service and Infrastructure as a Services for an entire Business Process.
