Problems with Conventional Approaches

Many companies have tried and failed to achieve the full benefits of automating the accounts payable process because they’ve followed a conventional approach.

Is Transition Management Really That Important?

Published: Dec 5th, 2008 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Most organizations, understandably, develop tunnel vision at the beginning of their outsourcing journey when the prize is getting the right deal done. But what next? What happens when the ink is dry on the paper and clients can relax in the knowledge that they have negotiated a good value sustainable deal with a reliable supplier? The answer is – don’t relax. Translating that deal into successful day to day operational reality is vital from an organisational, and often personal, point of view. The current global economic downturn makes keeping transition costs to budget and realising the benefits of outsourcing even more important. And the cost of getting it wrong?

* Delayed transition to outsourced service

* Business case not achieved

* Increased cost and resource burden

* Poor client / supplier relationships

* End-users and stakeholders opposed to new ways of working

Experience shows that lack of strong and focused client-side transition management activity is a common contributing factor to deals which never got off the ground properly. Research shows that governance and relationship issues alone can account for a 40-50% value leakage on the average outsourcing contract (See Figure 1). Common symptoms are delayed transition, which erodes the business case, leads to messy and inconsistent communications and compromises ability to properly manage the people and processes involved in and impacted by the outsourcing initiative. Resources on both sides become stretched and liability for additional costs incurred tests relationships, often leading to a blame game. All of these things are real blocks to true realisation of both tangible and intangible benefits of the outsource engagement. You get one chance to lay the right foundations to prevent that value leakage from occurring – the transition phase.

Global Hr Outsourcing Dealing With the Long Tail

Published: Dec 5th, 2008 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

Multinational and global organizations are increasingly looking to utilize global HR Outsourcing (HRO) as a key strategy to deliver HR services across their entire global operation. Such organizations are likely to face the problem of the ‘‘Long Tail’’; whilst they may well have quite a few countries with scale – hundreds if not thousand employees in those countries – there will often be a long list of countries with relatively few employees where the value proposition for HRO is much less clear. There is no ‘silver bullet’ solution for the ‘Long Tail’, but consideration of the following nine rules will help organizations who are seeking the benefits of global HRO:

1. Match the HRO market to your particular ‘Long Tail’
Whilst there are global providers with operations in over 100 countries, buyers need to be aware that this presence may not extend to either current or future capability to provide the required HR services in all of those countries. At this point in time, many global service providers can realistically offer a broad range of services in at most 50 – 80 countries. ‘Top Tier’ HRO service providers can address this shortfall by acting as integrators of services, using local suppliers in ‘Long Tail’ countries. In these cases, client organizations need to be aware of the depth and breadth of the relationships between the integrator and the local suppliers, how process hand-offs will work and where responsibilities lie. Whether using direct capability, or through integrating local suppliers into the global delivery model, it is important to map the HRO service provider’s capability onto the organization’s actual need to see the art of the possible for global HRO.

Published: Dec 5th, 2008 | Author: Alex Bhaswara Add Comment

If you have made the wise decision to outsource your bookkeeping requirements to a professional the next stage is to find one that will offer you the very best service and value for money. So what are the most important things to look for in a bookkeeper? Here we outline some of the factors that should appear at the top of your wish list.

Testimonials

Many bookkeeping firms claim to offer the best service, but can they substantiate their claims through testimonials from satisfied clients? An important thing to do is to make sure you can check that other businesses have been satisfied with the service.

Specific Industry Experience

Another important factor is experience. Of course the longer the firm has been trading the better, however, making sure they have experience in your particular area of business is crucial. Certain industries call for specialist knowledge and an understanding of the particular issues involved so make sure the bookkeeping firm has dealt with other traders or companies in your field, and of your size too. If you are a sole trader or small to medium sized business, don’t opt for a bookkeeper that normally deals with corporate organisations.

Now a day’s internet is the main hub for the source of information that is accessed across worldwide. The information accusers have moved from a university to market research, web marketing and communication vehicle that affects the life of everyone in all over the world.

As the no of websites increased day by day, the information becomes harder to keep track of search and use. So how do you find the exact information you’re looking for in useful format.

Search Isn’t Enough

Search engines are a big help, but they can do only part of the work, and they are hard-pressed to keep up with daily changes. For all the power of Google and its kin, all that search engines can do is locate information and point to it. They go only two or three levels deep into a Web site to find information and then return URLs. Search Engines cannot retrieve information from deep-web, information that is available only after filling in some sort of registration form and logging, and store it in a desirable format. In order to save the information in a desirable format or a particular application, after using the search engine to locate data, you still have to do the following tasks to capture the information you need:
