How BPM helps Knowledge Process Outsourcing

A Business Process Management solution is characterized by providing complete automation of an organization’s processes by integrating all activities in an agile and intelligent system. This means speed and precision for the actions performed by workers in order to satisfy customer needs. So, if an organization provides Knowledge Process Outsourcing services, the question arises whether BPM helps KPO.

An organization that provides KPO services has to take the important information that is produced in its customer’s processes and organize it and have it ready for analyses and thus transform it into knowledge that can change the direction of the organization. This means that, in addition to its own processes, the KPO company must be clear about its customer’s processes. If that KPO service provider has many customers, the number of processes multiplies.

This is why managing so much information without having the right tools means a failure for process outsourcing, especially if it intends to turn information into knowledge. The best scenario will be that the KPO organization takes a long time to deliver results, but it is very likely that it will confuse processes or that instead of generating knowledge, it will generate confusion.

So, technology is essential to get the best out of information and turn it into knowledge. This means that BPM is of great help to KPO. And even more so when Internet technology continues to grow:

And yet the biggest changes are still to come. More than a third of the world’s population is already connected to the Internet and the connection rates in developing countries are increasing rapidly, especially via mobile phones. One can only expect to see even more profound changes as these countries begin to transform the technology to fit their reality. (bbvaopenmind.com)

The amount of information per business will be so large that without automation and digitization tools it will be impossible to keep pace with changes, trends, novelties, public tastes, global economy, etc.

BPM and Knowledge Process Outsourcing

You need information for decision-making. The data itself is usually not very helpful as is. That includes “canned” reports, lists, and other common methods your systems generate so-called information for you. Successful executives already understand this issue and focus only on information they need to make decisions. To be a better manager, you need to eliminate the clutter and improve your decision-making. (allbusiness.com)

While this is true, KPO organizations must go even further, for they must not only help their customers to have information to make current decisions, but they must also provide knowledge, i.e., information for the present as well as for the future. This means that their skills must not only have a strong complement of computer analysis, but also an important predictive capacity.

If we add the great complexity of KPO companies and the demands they have in relation to the results they must deliver, we can understand why in the 21st century it is no longer possible to manage businesses’ information without technology. From this it is very clear that Business Process Management solutions are the perfect ally for KPO companies, since they guarantee a reliable and orderly management of information, in order to coordinate the accounts of all customers and keep them separated without confusion.

Confusion can take many forms: poor communication during a crisis; demands versus needs; busy-ness versus business; bias versus truth; the forest vs. the trees; facts and data in relations to feeling and opinions; causality vs. correlation; and, for the businesspeople reading this, the often-experienced confusion between revenue and benefits.

To ensure that none of these forms of confusion are present in the customer’s processes, nor in those of the KPO organization itself, the solution that maintains clearly established boundaries between one process and another serves to maintain clarity for employees and in the communication they establish with the organization that uses their services. In addition, as has always been known, monitoring and control processes are significantly improved when activities are automated so that customers can know more clearly what improvements they require for their forecasts.

Dexon has been working with numerous KPO organizations to help them manage their processes automatically. In doing so, it has discovered that technology is fundamental for this type of business, because without it the effort they have to make in the organization is of a magnitude that many times is not justified by the profits received. With the Dexon BPM solution, the KPO is helped to streamline its activities and to make all its accounts work without interruptions and without confusion of information. With this contribution, technology continues to become the differential value of many businesses.
