Business process outsourcing However, selective outsourcing is a growing trend and has taken on a new dimension in the past year. Firms are now outsourcing certain parts of their business process operations, for example payroll.
Suppliers believe it is likely to become popular in the private sector.
It is unlikely that organisations will be able to outsource their business processes without outsourcing the IT that supports these essential processes. New services such as these mean selective outsourcing is set to become even more popular, and most IT directors prefer the lower risk strategy that comes with it, and the degree of control they can still maintain over their IT operations.
