Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) BPO is the outsourcing of non-core business activities or group of functions, such as payroll administration, HR administration and recruitment activities to a specialist service provider. The benefits to the client include focusing on core activities while remaining in control of the quality of non-core activities through the specialist service provider. Business Process Offshoring (BPO&O) BPO that is contracted outside a company's own country is called offshore outsourcing. South Africa is being recognised as a destination of choice for outsourcing business support services, mainly call centres and HR activities. South Africa offers a cost saving over European destinations and more importantly presents a higher quality offering than Far East and Indo sub-continent countries.
