Business process offshoring is a strategic approach that enables organizations to relocate certain business functions to countries with a strong talent pool and cost advantages. At iContact BPO, we provide trusted offshoring solutions from South Africa, allowing our clients to achieve high-quality service delivery while reducing operational costs.
What is Business Process Offshoring?
Business process offshoring (BPO) involves transferring non-core or support functions—such as customer service, data entry, finance, and IT services—to another country. This practice helps companies tap into global talent, manage resources more effectively, and focus on strategic business goals.
Why South Africa?
South Africa has emerged as a preferred offshoring destination due to its:
- Skilled, English-speaking workforce
- Favorable time zone alignment with the UK and parts of the US
- Strong infrastructure and digital connectivity
- Competitive labor costs
- Supportive government policies for the BPO sector
