Transitioning from BPO to BPM

4/25/2016

0 Comments

 
The Business Process Outsourcing industry in the last few years has significantly moved away from low-end call center work and transaction processing to handling a whole new range of complex and high end business processes. Quoting Raman Roy, one of the pioneers of the BPO and BPM industry, "This industry has moved strides ahead of being a labor arbitrage industry. The re-branding was to actualize what has been accomplished in the work. The re-branding is not complete." Transitioning from BPO to BPM is work in progress and NASSCOM estimates that the BPM industry will touch $50 billion by 2020.

What is Business Process Management (BPM)?

BPM is a disciplined approach to identify, design, execute, document, measure, monitor and control both automated and non-automated business processes to achieve consistent and targeted results aligned with the organization's strategic goals.

The BPM Life-Cycle
BPM Life-cycle
  • Process Design and Modeling: high level business process mapping and understanding how the process works
  • Develop, Test and Deploy: validate process design. Software and process implementation. Pilot runs
  • Process Execution: process launch and interaction with end users
  • Monitor and Control: Measure key performance indicators (KPIs) and view these versus SLAs. Understand the bottlenecks and inefficiencies
  • Optimization: continuous improvement. Reduce the bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Fine tune the process

Building an Integrated Sales Process

3/7/2016

​Not having enough business and a prospective client pipeline is a common problem most SMEs come across. We work with start-ups and SMEs to build an integrated sales process, a system that brings in qualified leads and sales. 
Integrated Sales Process
​Most small companies do not invest in a dedicated business development team. The owners or partners end up managing the sales process. While budget constraints do not allow them to hire experienced sales professionals or set up a business development team, it is essential for them to have a well defined sales strategy.

​Having worked for clients from various industry verticals, we follow a structured sales process to create a client pipeline and convert prospects into customers.

Managing Customer Complaints

1/19/2016

Managing Customer Complaings
Time and again we stress on the fact that internet and social media have remarkably changed how we communicate. Customer reviews and complaints are no longer “internal and restricted”. They are out in the open, easily accessible on the World Wide Web, by existing customers, prospects, analysts, journalists and competitors.

Let’s review the following customer complaints:

Online Shopping:

“I had an order with XXXXXX (ORDER NO: XXXXXXX) which I placed on 22 Dec, 2015. However it was cancelled on 26th Dec stating out of stock. My concerns are: Did we realize that items are not available after 5 days?  Even though it was stated that shipping happens in 1-2 days. How do I see 2 of those items still available on your website?  Pics attached along with today’s date. The third product was showing out of stock as only last one left when I ordered it, hence can believe on that part. They initiated a refund for this, which I haven't received yet.”

Applying Six Sigma for Continuous Improvement in Call Centers

11/23/2015

0 Comments

 
Six Sigma, developed by Motorola in 1981, is a set of strategies, techniques and tools for process improvement. It originated in the manufacturing sector but has proved beneficial and has been deployed extensively by companies in the services sector. The BPO industry has been no exception and has benefited immensely in terms of productivity gains, customer satisfaction and revenue benefits by deploying a six sigma culture.

The Sigma level denotes quantitatively how well a process is performing within customer specifications. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

How is Six Sigma deployed in the BPO industry?

Increasing end-user and customer satisfaction (CSat) is one of the most important activities for every service provider. CSat as a KPI (key performance indicator) has a lot of prominence in the service contracts and performance dashboards. Six Sigma has been deployed extensively by BPOs to collect and analyze Voice of the Customer and improve their CSat scores. “Increase in Customer Satisfaction” is one of the most common Six Sigma projects across BPO verticals.
