•  Nearshore Outsourcing: It is outsourcing services to the company’s neighbouring countries rather than people
          in  your  own  country.  The  main  advantage  is  hiring  people  with  similar  time  zones  and  taking  the  benefits  of
          in-between options compared to offshore and onshore outsourcing.


                BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT

        Business Process Management (BPM) is defined as a discipline that focuses on standards to manage and improve
        the business processes. It is neither a task nor a project that is handled one time. It is an effective methodology that
        studies, identifies, changes and monitors business processes to ensure that they run smoothly and can be improved
        over time. For example,
        •  BPM can be adopted for managing the list of patients in a day for online OPDs of different doctors on a common
          platform.
        •  BPM can be a good practice in human resources for planning and managing the incentives of employees working at
          different hierarchies.
        BPM helps a business to:

        •  Control the chaos at different levels.
        •  Create, analyse and improve the business processes.
        •  Increase the efficiency in all the core functions.
        •  Closely track a business item in a workflow.
        •  Meet the deadlines of the interlinked tasks smoothly.
        •  Design a new, perfect system to bring maximum profits.






















        Types of Business Process Management

        Every business is different. On the basis of purpose they serve, Business Process Management can be categorised as:

        •  Integration-centric  BPM:  In  this  type  of  BPM  model,  the  focus  is  more  on  using  computer-based  application
          programming interfaces. It creates a smooth flow of data between the network of automated tools that integrate
          different departments of a business.  With less of human  interaction, the repetitive  tedious  task can be done
          efficiently.
           For example, this BPM model can be used to integrate the sales and marketing department of a company which is
           always expected to work hand-in-hand for maximum sales and profits.
        •  Human-centric BPM: This type of BPM model directly impacts the employees and the clients. Its focus is more on
          the human interaction with the business processes. The main advantage of keeping the human interaction is that
          the task can be paused and resumed with different sets of people.
