All this is necessary to meet the rising expectations of today's customers.

This will make sure that the resultant model is good enough to take into consideration different matters and elements of customer interaction.

Reduction of Cost

All the above elements when implemented correctly lead to a collateral advantage in the form of cost reduction as the organization will be able to gain a lot more with the simple transitions of in-sourcing. Deployment of external control mechanisms will be reduced and the poor quality standards from the BPO can be eliminated. All this lead to increased revenue and decreased costs for the organization.

This becomes extremely helpful when the customer base is dynamic both in terms of quantity and type of customers. This helps organizations in quickly adapting to the change and doing the needful to fill up the gaps and maintain the essential operational processes of customer interaction.
