The Changing BPO Landscape
In the last 2 decades, the business world has witnessed 2 major disruptors; first, the organizations worldwide have been engaging Business Processes Outsourcing (BPO) to manage operational cost more effectively and secondly, business applications such as CRM and email have begun to make transition towards cloud based systems.
Nowadays, we also see BPO organizations are rapidly adopting cloud delivered “packaged” apps for their customers as they provide standard, generic business functions to all customers. However, with customers with more complex requirements, these packaged apps may not be sufficient and there is a need to deploy a Business Process Management (BPM) application. Such applications can cater for the clients’ need, especially in specific business processes like financial services, healthcare, HR expense claims, accounts payable processes and much more.
However, BPM applications do not share the same simple features as packaged applications,
Cloud-based SaaS
The traditional licensing model does not work for most BPO because it requires additional software licenses when the business grows, but there is no way to “return” or “put-on-hold” license fees if business activities reduce. In some cases, the hardware requirements scale up as well. However, the hardware remains and the licenses are under-utilized when business is stagnant. Nevertheless, the BPO has to purchase and maintain software licenses based on the peak periods, not the low seasons. And to set up new processes, costly professional services engagements are required.
With CumulusPro’s SaaS based BPO solutions, the BPO is entitled to unlimited scan, validation stations as well as business processes. With no limitations on the number of these “technical resources”, the BPO’s can have people validate from any location worldwide and can even assign validation to your customers. CumulusPro’s Software-as-a-Service subscription model enables BPOs to pay only for what they use. New business processes, user accounts, workstations and mobile devices can be added in less than a fraction of the time needed in traditional systems with little or no professional services required.

Cloud-based Solution Which is Perfect for the BPO
Resource management is no longer an issue, despite the inevitable project spikes and quiet periods that come with any BPO business. Pay only for what you use without concerns about hardware and software licenses. Furthermore, whilst previously there were limitations on location because of the cost of moving documents physically.
Having a truly cloud-based solution means getting rid of this constraint once and for all. BPO’s customers or their vendors can scan or upload their documents from anywhere in the world. New customers – once provided with the URL, user ID and password – can start scanning business documents to the BPO for processing. All that is required is an Internet browser and a PC/Mac connected with a scanner. No need for costly IT infrastructure and expensive maintenance or upgrades.

However, BPM applications do not share the same simple features as packaged applications,
- BPM solutions are platforms for building business processes rather than offering standard functions & features.
- There is no ‘one size fits all’. Business Processes requirements vary from customer to customer. Few customers run identical processes.
- Constant changes to business processes are the key benefit of BPM platform which has the ability to rapidly adjust processes in minutes in response to changing market requirements.
