One may come across companies that function completely independently. However, businesses are more about partnership with manpower suppliers and outsourcing contractors. Partnering with outside contractors, or outsourcing, may allow the companies to do business more effectively and efficiently. Companies usually tend to outsource in two different ways, either a single component of their daily operations, or reinvent outsourcing as a strategic part of their business.
A, US based utility portfolio management solution provider, relies on outsourcing data entry services to fulfill their operational model. Their in house teams scanned the invoices of energy bills of electricity, gas and water; and their outsourced data entry service provider operate a complex online data entry process of 1000 plus energy bills through a remote desktop connection, daily on their behalf. Similar, is a bank in Italy that outsourced the process of keying accurate and consistent data from handwritten checks, and the payment processing company in USA which outsourced the task to transfer data from all the checks to software while verifying the SLF rejected by the OCR, Payee and the amounts in cash and studs. But, outsourcing the printing of advertising fliers for these companies would be like outsourcing a portion of their daily operations.
You can perform a cost/time calculation to decide whether or not to outsource a task. You may have tasks that you can conveniently do in-house with the right amount of time and money. i.e., you hire data entry professionals to increase the efficiency of invoice processing process. But in the meantime, you also receive a huge logistics project requiring you to manage other document management tasks. In the short term, you can recruit an in-house data entry professional, with the long term goal to outsource this work to a contractor.
One-time events also work hand-in-hand with outsourcing. If you have current team members with data entry experience, you might decide to manage the logistic project documentation in-house. Otherwise, it may be more cost-effective to take this project to a data entry service provider who has expertise, and can deliver the project with a professional touch in a timely manner.
Upon appropriate utilization, data entry outsourcing services empower you to run your business operations efficiently at low cost. So now you can utilize your resources, maximize your time, and move forward with your core business activities that affect the bottom line.
