The cost control is one of the main advantages of business process outsourcing. In most cases, third party business process outsourcing services are less expensive than hiring individuals to perform it in-house. There are also a variety of cost-cutting opportunities in terms of international tax methods and the cost of establishing services in a particular country. Another advantage is that in-house staff may concentrate on core operations rather than having to handle all human resources and payroll work, or whatever else is outsourced.

The security of business process outsourcing is a major problem for the growth of the business process outsourcing market. Many businesses process outsourcing arrangements need the organization handing over essential or sensitive data to the supplier to a great extent. As the supplier has access to a portion of their data supply chain, they must trust the vendor to a degree. The compliance with national or industry standards is also an issue that comes up from time to time.

Another issue with the business process outsourcing is the amount of control clients must hand over the third-party providers. The cost barriers, where third party service businesses abruptly boost the cost of services owing to some benchmark, are a source of concern.

When businesses refer to business process outsourcing firms, they frequently speak to the kind of business functions and tasks that will be outsourced. The business process outsourcing services are classified into two categories based on the demands of the firm. Those two categories are back-office outsourcing and front office outsourcing.

The back-office outsourcing is a type of outsourcing that focuses on in-house business functions such as data collection, internet research, data entry, order processing, data analysis, quality assurance, payment processing, billing, and information technology services. The front office business process outsourcing refers to the outsourcing of customer facing tasks like sales, marketing, customer service, technical support, and grievance redressal.
