getsix’s new representative office in Berlin, Germany

We would like to announce getsix’s new additional office. This office in Berlin, Germany will enable us to become better equipped to serve our existing client base and potentially new clients.

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) enhances the flexibility of your business or organisation in different ways:

BPO services provided by getsix^® are offered on a fee-for-service basis, using our unique business model, which incorporates our state-of-the-art IT solutions. This will help you to become more flexible by transforming fixed costs into variable costs. A variable cost structure will help your company respond to changes in capacity and does not require you to invest in assets, thereby making your company more flexible. Outsourcing should provide your company with increased flexibility in its resource management, along with our skilled and efficient staff, reduce response times.

Another way in which BPO would contribute to your companies flexibility is it allows you to be able to focus on your core competencies, without being burdened by the demands of bureaucratic restraints. Key employees are herewith released from performing non-core or administration processes and can invest more time and energy in building your companies core business. The key lies in getsix^® knowing which of the main value drivers for you to focus on, allowing us to do what we do best. If you focus more on customer intimacy, product leadership and operational excellence, these will create a better competitive edge for your business.

A third way in which BPO increases organisational flexibility is by increasing the speed of business processes. Supply chain management with the effective use of getsix^® as a BPO supply chain partner will increase the speed of several business processes, such as the throughput in the case of a manufacturing company.

Finally, flexibility should be seen as a stage in your companies life cycle. A company can maintain growth targets while avoiding standard business bottlenecks. BPO therefore allows companies to retain their entrepreneurial speed and agility, which they would otherwise sacrifice in order to become efficient as they expand. It avoids a premature internal transition from its informal entrepreneurial phase to a more bureaucratic mode of operation.

With getsix^® as your business partner, you should be then able to grow at a faster pace, as there will be less constraints on large capital expenditures, or equipment that may take years to amortise, may become outdated in turn or to be a poor match for your company over time.

Although the above-mentioned arguments of course favour the view that BPO increases flexibility of your business or organisation, your management needs to be careful with the implementation of the ‘correct’ outsourcing specialist, getsix^® understands the issues which can work against these key advantages. Consequently, we help your company consider these challenges and assist you through our ‘Business Excellence Framework’ to offer you first-class outsourcing services.
