Person-to-person outsourcing gains currency with small offices and individuals.
You have heard about BPO & KPO, but it’s time now to add a new word to your vocabulary: PPO.
Coined by Alok Aggarwal, chairman of Evalueserve Inc, PPO means person-to-person outsourcing. The US-based Aggarwal, who is the co-founder of the global research and analytics services firm, says offshoring is now beginning to go mainstream and is touching the upper class and working class alike. “This is very reminiscent of 1991-92 when manufacturing in China and other low-wage countries began to impact the lives of the rich and the not-so-rich in developed countries,” he says.
Here’s how: small offices, home businesses and even individuals are utilizing PPO services everyday through various means such as online tutoring and home & landscape design services. Even invitation cards for weddings and other parties, personal assistant secretarial services like scheduling appointments and maintaining calendars are now being outsourced.
