welcome to open outsourcing!

Welcome to the first in a series of reports from arvato, called Open Outsourcing. These reports aim to get to the heart of some of the most complex topics in the outsourcing industry with the help of our clients and industry experts.

Despite contributing £207bn (8%) of the total UK economic output, outsourcing is misunderstood and its value often understated. Open Outsourcing aims to understand and demystify some of the issues that contribute to this.

Rather than focusing on the theoretical or futuristic, we want to create and share a real-world perspective on outsourcing today by hearing directly and honestly from those people involved.

effective engagement

The first issue focusses on effective engagement. At its heart, business outsourcing is about relationships – those between the partners of an outsourcing agreement, and those between the partnership and its customers or employees. In the report, five of our key clients share their experiences and honest views on what engagement means to them, and how it has improved the impact of their outsourcing programmes. An independent research study and commentary from industry experts add further perspectives to the topic.
