Knowledge Process Offshoring

What is KPO


KPO stands for Knowledge Process Outsourcing, the newest form of offshore outsourcing. KPO is the delegation of knowledge-related work to a specialized external party aiming at achieving high quality output whilst managing costs. KPO includes conversion of data into information, information search, deep-rooted information analysis and interpretation.


KPO requires highly educated caliber of people, industry & business experts, as well as a close relationship between the KPO supplier and the client. KPO is knowledge intensive, above and beyond the normal focus on business processes. KPO can be viewed as a continuation of BPO, though more complex due to its partial involvement in the business & possibly decision-making, and not only the processes.


KPO is particularly useful for customer and knowledge centric organizations, which rely heavily on the utilization of customer intelligence in their decisions and strategy development. Examples of KPO include call centers, market research, customer service and content creation.
