Golden Gate BPO Solutions – Creating commoditized and affordable global and multichannel outsourced contact center solutions

The Silicon Review

Customer relationship management (CRM) is one of the functions more widely delegated to business process outsourcing (BPO), the practice of hiring third-party sources to operate certain aspects of a business. Many companies practice CRM in BPO situations in order to better facilitate relationships with customers on a consistent basis with minimal costs. CRM is also practiced between the company and the BPO provider to help foster a mutually-beneficial business relationship. This is especially true in outsourcing outlets in different countries, where working conditions and practices tend to differ from the company's main office. CRM in BPO outlets helps both sides align with each other and organize the workflow, while at the same time maintaining the relationship's long-term relevance. When your data is organized and managed by a CRM platform, you have a better understanding of your customers, which leads to more aligned messaging. Many activities (both behind-the-scenes and face-to-face) can be digitized and automated, allowing you to better target marketing efforts, shorten sales cycles, and provide better, more efficient customer service. Finally, a fully integrated CRM eliminates data silos, allowing for cross-departmental collaboration and presenting a unified front to customers.
