    BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING

    Defined simply, BPO is the preparation, capture, warehouse, retrieval and utilization ofinformation for an organization. Data processing is accompanied by extractinginformation from a current or custom designed form, fax, catalogue, book, electronic

    media or an on-line entry system, whilesimultaneously offering an internet-based data entry and query service. This servicebureau concept alleviates the need for onsite data entry personnel, Optical CharacterRecognition (OCR) software and hardware while ensuring the utmost integrity, accuracy

    and security.

    The BPO actors: Saunders et al. (1997) recognize that outsourcing has two main actors:the outsourced and the outsourcer . The first is the customer or client who outsourceshis processes while the second, the enterprise or commonly called the vendor, deliversoutsourced services. The process owner Shroffs Foundation Trust is the organizational

    interface of the two enterprises during all the outsourcing activities.

    The BPO mechanism: Financial Times (2004) explains the mechanism of BPO whereby aBPO provider assumes primary responsibility for delivery, maintaining and developing a

    business process or sets of functions. Contracts are usually long-term and, in somecases, staff responsible for the outsourced function move across the customer to theprovider .The two above concepts give a micro-economic dimension to BPO as amanagement strategy. When we look at the bigger picture and consider the macro

    framework, we should include a third actor: the Government or thecountry in which the service is being delivered. We can therefore emphasize from thevery outset that BPO as an industry has three main actors: the client who requires theservice, the vendor who provides it and the country which is the location from which theservice is provided.

    How to set up a call centre

    TECHNOLOGIESSoftware: No one size or type fits all. Applications should be selected on the basis of

    features, interoperability and usability. Custom software is best, but off-the-shelf

    applications can be used as long as they are customized to meet your call centresneeds.

    Voice Network: You'll probably want to base your network on VoIP technology to take

    advantage of the technology's cost, software integration and call-routing benefits.

    Servers: Look down the road and acquire systems with enough speed, memory andstorage scalability to handle your call centres operations for at least three years.

    Displays: LCDs save power and space, and they're easy on the eyes. The screens

    should be large enough to accommodate your software's graphical interfaces without

    creating eyestrain.

    Headsets: Ear gear should be tight yet comfortable. Detachable components promotegood hygiene.

    Keyboards: To prevent repetitive-motion injuries, make sure the keyboards are

    adjustable and aren't too stiff or lightweight.

    LAYOUT

    Floor Plan: The best way to determine the ideal floor plan is to try a variety of different

    options to maximize the number of agents per square foot while still providing an

    effective flow. A program like Autodesks AutoCAD can be a big help in designing anefficient layout.

    Space: Is there enough physical space to accommodate the number of planned agents?Have you planned for future growth?

    Aisles: The aisles between workstations should be wide enough to allow for efficientmovement and meet local building-code regulations.

    Workstations: Workstation furniture should be selected and configured to help agents

    handle their tasks efficiently and with minimal wasted movement. Look for full-service

    manufacturers that provide not only agent furniture systems, but also storage cabinets,

    meeting tables, chairs, and administrative and executive office furniture. You'll end upwith a more cohesive system at a better price than you would working with disparate

    vendors.

    Supervisor Stations: Supervisors need to see and be seen. Make sure your layout has

    positioned supervisory personnel in central and prominent locations.

    Noise Control: Noise-abatement techniques, such as wall and cubicle soundproofing, as

    well as noise-cancelling headsets, will enhance call quality while boosting agent

    productivity.

    Ergonomics: Workstations, chairs and computer-input equipment should all

    feature ergonomic designs.

    POWER

    Design: Will power be dropped in from the ceiling or will it come up from the floor?

    Outlets: Are there enough outlets to support all the equipment that will be used?

    Wiring: To prevent dangerous snags and trips, wiring and cables should be totallyconcealed in the flooring, the walls and the furniture.

    Backup: An emergency generator can keep your centre running independently of the

    main power grid. At the very least, in the event of a power failure, a generator can allow

    the centre to power down gradually and safely.

    ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

    Heating/Cooling: People and equipment both need adequate environmental controls.Call centres that are too cold or hot degrade agent performance and potentially shorten

    equipment life.

    Air Filtering: Dusty, dirty air can make agents drowsy, burn their eyes and provoke

    allergies. Dust can also gum up equipment, so invest in a high-quality air-filtering

    system.

    4/17

    Lighting: Good lighting is an often-overlooked design element. Dim, overly bright or

    improperly positioned lights can drain agent productivity. The money spent on hiring a

    lighting expert won't be wasted.

    Security: Closely analyze your call centre for security weaknesses. You'll need to

    address three areas: technology security (affecting networks, servers, software and

    other technologies), physical security (affecting the call-centre site) and employeesecurity Overlooking any of these areas can lead to serious long-term consequences.

    The process is probably something along the lines of:

    Customer calls This is purely the design of the existing telephone call. It does not

    reflect any background process issues affecting the customer.

    Agent handles call Whilst with a simple process such as this the call routing is easiest,

    the customer has no idea of how they stand in relation to the rest of the calls arriving.

    Will they be answered in the next 10 seconds or is the wait half an hour? You all know aswell as me in this case the call is ALWAYS answered just as you decide to hang up and

    you hear the Hello, thank you for calling just as youve gone past the point of no re

    Although the system is simple, the scope for customer dissatisfaction is high. As with the staff rota

    example above, a few simple changes can lead to massive results in goodwill, customer and staff

    satisfaction.

    Below are a couple of examples of simple call routing changes (getting progressively more

    complex) that can be applied to most phone switches.

    Example 1. (Simple ACD)

  • 7/31/2019 BPO Vijeta

    5/17

    In this case at least the customer knows they are calling the correct company.

    Once in the ACD the customers call is then routed to the next available agent, NOT the next

    person prepared to take a call.

    The welcome message can also incorporate an out-of-hours message advising of opening hours oran emergency contact.

    Example 2. (Skills-based routing)

    By the addition of a single voice menu, calls are now routed by team. The customer has one choice

    to make and can almost immediately speak to the next available agent in the section they require.

  • 7/31/2019 BPO Vijeta

    6/17

    Example 3. (Hold system)

    Note the area in the dashed line is a loop until an agent is available. The timings are between

    messages and the agent availability check is continuous. Music can be added between the holdmessages.

  • 7/31/2019 BPO Vijeta

    7/17

    Below is a further refinement of the system giving the option for the customer to leave a

    message on an IVR (interactive voice response) system. This is the logical next step.

    That being said, you need to refine the general business process to accommodate the

    call-backs generated by such a system.

    The diagram below is the last of the general call-flow ones. These models use the

    assumption that all teams are separate. Other call-flow manipulation could include:

    If the customer service team is busy, wait 20 seconds then check if a sales teammember is free, if so route the call (and vice versa).

    If you have a high demand on one team and low on the other, calls can route to the low-demand team as an overflow.

    Both these options, however, mean that the teams have to be cross trained on the

    others policies, procedures and scripting where required.

  • 7/31/2019 BPO Vijeta

    8/17

    This is about as complex as most start-up call centres need to get and the above facilities should

    be available either as part of the main package or as a bolt-on to any switch made after about

    1985.

    However, care needs to be taken in menu design. Nested menus, menus with four or more options

    and overtly technical phrasing in the menu commands will ultimately drive abandon rates up.

    Now the required set-up has been decided, its time to move onto the final section. This is where

    buy-in from the staff is at its most valuable.

    As soon as you get to this point you can also capture messages out of hours.

    turn in hanging up.

    5. PBX Requirementsand6. Dialogic Telephony Card Requirements

    Computer Requirementsrecommend running Acarda Messenger on a computer with Windows 2000/XP. The

    minimum specification for the computer should be:

    Pentium III or equivalentTypically 128M RAM1 ISA slot per ISA-compatibleDialogic Card.or 1 PCI slot for the PCI Dialogic Card. PCI cards are not supported on Windows 95/98.

    PBX RequirementsAcarda Messenger requires a PBX telephone system to transfer calls. However, if you donot intend to enable recipients to transfer back to someone within your company thenyou DO NOT require a PBX telephone system as a standard analog telephone line will be

    sufficient. For telephony applications to work, your telephone system must be able totransfer calls by switch-hooking and sending DTMF tones. Most modern PBX's function inthis way. If it is a digital PBX, you will need to have an analog card installed.

    Dialogic Telephony Card RequirementsTo connect the computer to your telephone line you require a professional DialogicTelephony Card.

    ERP

    OpenERP has functions to manage a call centre. If, when you installed the CRM module,

    you selected the option for calls youll be able to manage incoming and outgoing calls.

    Call management can be used for two particular needs:

    Entering customer calls so that you keep a record of the communication attached to apartner or a sales opportunity,

    Managing a call centre with operators who handle lists of calls to carry out one afteranother.

    To enter details of a phone call, use one of the two following menus:

    CRM & SRM Phone Calls Inbound, CRM & SRM Phone Calls Outbound.

    The phone call will then be visible on the partner form to give you complete visibility of

    the events about that customer or supplier.

    You can manually encode calls that happen or you can pass them into OpenERP. But for

    mass campaigns, you can import a list of phone calls to make. To do this, click on the

    import link at the bottom of the list of phone calls. On the GTK client use the toolbar

    button Form Import at the top. Phone calls that have occurred in the open state. The

    different operators can be assigned calls and handle them one by one using the

    menu CRM & SRM Phone Calls Outbound New Outgoing Call. The operator can open

    the calls one by one. For each call, after having contacted the customer, the operator

    can click on one of the following buttons: Cancel: you cancel the call. For example you could cancel the call if youve tried to call

    them more than three times.

    Held: youve spoken to the customer by phone. In this case the operator can change thecase section and send it to sales opportunities, for example. You could alternatively

    leave it in this state if you dont need to carry out any more actions with this customer.

    Not Held: the customer hasnt been called; youll try to call him again later.

    Advanced Customer Relations

    OpenERP also supplies several tools to improve and automate relationships with

    partners. They wont be described extensively here, just introduced briefly.

    The supplier/customer portal gives you the ability to provide your suppliers and

    customers with constrained access to OpenERP. They will then be able to view or entersets of information directly online to OpenERP. For example they could enter their

    orders, reprint their invoices, or work on communal projects. To activate the portal you

    should install the modules that start with the string portal_.

    The email gateway lets you interface the CRM with incoming and outgoing emails. Thescripts used for the email gateway are available in thecrmmodule in the

    scripts subdirectory.

    Outlook and Thunderbird plugins let you synchronize your contacts between your email

    client and your ERP. They both enable you to create sales opportunities based onexchanges you have with the customer.

    The rules for automating actions enable you to send emails automatically based on the

    event, such as assigning opportunities to the most appropriate person. To access the

    CRM rules, use the menu CRM & SRM Configuration Cases Rules.

    The segmentation tools let you create partner groups and act on each segment

    differently. For example you could create pricelists for each of the segments, or start

    phone marketing campaigns by segment. To enable the management of segmentationyou should install the modulecrm_profiling.

    Thebase_report_designermodule enables you to create letter templates in

    OpenOffice and automate letters for different prospects. OpenERP also has plugins for

    MS Word to simplify the creation of mass mailing.
