What Are Back Office Support Services?
Companies’ and law firms back offices are often responsible for handling significant numbers of documents, processing information, and supporting the front office sales and new business departments. Sometimes, organizations need either short-term or ongoing assistance in their back offices to meet deadlines without sacrificing the quality of their work. Hiring a firm that handles business process outsourcing (BPO) and back office support services can create process and cost efficiencies, ensure quality standards are adhered to, and improve internal and external customer satisfaction.
Simply put, back office support services can be whatever the business needs it to be. Some companies need help with billing and collections or accounts payable. Other organizations hire BPO providers to help with data entry, transaction processing, and general administrative matters. For corporations that need help with Human Resources onboarding or general admin, additional support can prevent bottlenecks. Sometimes, the need is for more specialized support for leave of absence administration to process forms and information with strict regulatory and compliance requirements.
Virtually any type of company can benefit from back office service support. Some of the industries and corporate functions that frequently rely on BPO providers include mortgage processors and real estate agencies, finance and banking, insurance, retail and eCommerce, consulting, travel and hospitality, transportation, industrial and manufacturing firms, accounting, legal, and other professional services, human resources, technology, and more.
For some companies and law firms, relying on back office support is a short-term solution to fill gaps left by employees who are out on maternity/paternity or medical leaves, to maintain service standards during periods of growth for the firm, or to cover gaps left when experienced workers retire or otherwise terminate employment.
Companies considering hiring a BPO provider should consider the firm’s willingness to customize services, its commitment to data security and privacy, and the education level, skill, and professionalism of its personnel.
