During times of great change—being able to drive value is paramount. In the wake of recent societal, industry and technology disruption, business process functions, including finance, supply chain, procurement, human resources, marketing, sales and customer operations, and industry-specific services, such as health, insurance and banking, have been severely disrupted.

What are business process services?

Business process outsourcing (BPO) has evolved to become business process services.

Sustainable growth requires a new operating model, one that's anchored around the customer and driven by intelligence to deliver exceptional experiences and outcomes.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Organizations that want to future-ready their business must accelerate their path to intelligent operations. They need to address the vital ingredients of talent, data, applied intelligence, cloud and an ecosystem of partnerships.

Business process services bring together the power of technology with human ingenuity to handle everything from simple, everyday task-based processes to the more complex data-driven practices that serve businesses’ needs tomorrow.

Why are business process services important?

The future belongs to intelligent operations

Accenture research has identified four distinct phases of the journey to intelligent operations—each underpinned by a set of technologies to drive efficiency and insights. We've discovered increasing levels of capability or talent required at each stage and varied levels of outcomes that can be achieved along the way.

Each stage of the journey calls for a specialized workforce as well as sponsorship from the top. The goal is to dramatically shift the allocation of work—automating transactional tasks and freeing up talented people for more critical thinking— accelerated by automation, enabled by cloud and delivered by an agile workforce, to unlock new sources of value across the enterprise (Figure 1).

Transforming operations

Organizations need to achieve a step change in operations, transforming how the business operates by adopting a bold vision that is executed by unified leadership. Operational transformation draws on business process expertise, technology innovation and agile talent. It is the enabler of future-ready, intelligent operations.

Operations transformation means organizations can “think big” and take bold moves to close the gap between aspirations and where they are today. By automating at scale, augmenting human talent with technology and committing to data-driven decision making, organizations can optimize their intelligent operations journey. And with a flexible operating model that combines multidisciplinary teams and technologies across an ecosystem of partners, organizations can improve overall performance and sustainability.
