Enabling Business Transformation with Service Control, Creation and Integration capabilities
A BTO vendor offers a unique value proposition for companies looking to transform their
business processes. A transformational outsourcing solution focuses on helping enterprises address
and resolve key issues that affect all aspects of the organization. These solutions consider those
businesses and IT infrastructure design, consulting services, and IT integration challenges that are
unique to each industry.
There are significant risks associated in any BTO engagements between the client and the
BTO vendor. The BTO vendor needs to get full control of the business process so they can adjust
and change it as needed. For client it may not be easy to give full ownership of the business process
to the BTO vendor because of internal structure of the company. The IT systems and technologies of
a company have to be properly aligned with their business processes. The client has to give control
to their IT systems and the corresponding business processes to the BTO vendor to succeed in their
efforts. As the part of their business transformation strategy BTO vendors may change the client’s IT
systems and this will be a significant risk to the client employees in managing their regular day
today operations.
There are other challenges in BTO adoption, the policies and pricing models are complex and
in most part it is untested. Managing BTO deals are complex and client companies must have proper
tools and systems to adequately manage and measure the relationship. For the client companies one
of the greatest risks of BTO is the intellectual capital of their business processes that distinguishes it
with their competitors.
As in any supply relationship, opportunity always exists for the purchaser and provider to lift
the quality and level of engagement. By adopting a business partnership model for technology
procurement and integration, a technology provider and service provider can leverage the areas
where the technology provider offers comparative advantages and expertise, compared to the service
provider's in-house capabilities

Greater change means greater opportunity. But to take advantage of it, the firm needs to change its
business model. In fact, the company needs to build change into its business model, to create an
organization flexible and resilient enough to reinvent itself continuously as it works to seize
opportunities and dodge obstacles.
Because in the on demand era, companies succeed only as long as they can transform themselves
quickly, consistently and with the bare minimum of layoffs, write-offs and uncertainty. Flexible
business models are at the heart of this new, resilient organization. They allow companies to seize
new opportunities and dodge incoming threats with minimal trauma to employees, stockholders and
business partners.
Since, everything around the business is changing and because the list of things that are changing.
The constant that take for granted today like the supplier, the foreign government, the pricing

Business Process Services (BPS) to streamline their businesses and cut costs.
Future Of BTO
Unlike BPO, Business Transformation Outsourcing does not have a standard structure yet; each deal
is unique in nature and there are significant risks associated with the BTO. But this does not stop the
SMB’s in signing BTO contracts with consulting firms which could eventually result radical change
in business aspects, especially during this Late 2000’s recession.
The project will analyze the company's operations, identify priorities to make it more competitive
and create a list of action items that it needs to execute within the next 18 months. WMEP has
already helped TLX halve its production line downtime by mapping its manufacturing processes
related to scrap.
Calling for aggressive action, J. Sainsbury’s board hired Sir Peter Davis as CEO and gave him a
mandate for radical change. Within months, in order to regain the firm’s market leadership, he had
entered into a BTO deal with a large consulting firm to serve as the company’s prime adviser to
design and help implement a strategic repositioning and comprehensive transformation
management program.
This groundbreaking partnership includes innovative financial structuring that makes future cost
saving available up front to finance strategic investments. It also includes transformation of critical
IT capabilities: J. Sainsbury has transferred 800 employees to the partner firm which now runs all
the company’s IT systems and networks.
When a truck is leased for an interstate trip, Genpact's Indian staff checks the customer's credit
status and arrange for all of the necessary permits. If the truck gets stuck at a weigh station
because it lacks a required fuel permit, the driver calls an 800 number, and Indian workers have
the necessary document transmitted to the weigh station to get the vehicle back on the road within
a half-hour. When a ride is finished, the entire driver's log is shipped to a Genpact facility in
Juarez, Mexico, where mileage, tax, toll, and fuel data are punched into Penske computers and
then processed in India. When Penske sells the truck, staff in Mexico records the transaction
Genpact also is starting to help Penske manage its logistical services, such as arranging just-in-
time delivery of components to U.S. factories and shipping finished goods to retailers and home
consumers. The top objective is not to cut costs, but the prime driver was to improve efficiency
and customer service.
