Why Co-source

outsource-factsOur customers co-source as part of an overall strategic initiative to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.  Bucar enables “Strategic Rightsizing”, taking the process all the way from strategy to execution.  Useful in boom times and challenging ones, co-sourcing  and “rightsizing” go hand in hand to match intent with results.  The beauty of it is that customers can co-source in part or in total.  It can be permanent or temporary. When looking at co-source opportunities, a company should look at potential areas and it’s components to determine if part or all of that function should be co-sourced. Bucar Group takes on the responsibility for the process, people management and quality control of the function.  Co-sourcing allows our customers to focus on their core business and create a competitive advantage by reducing operational costs.  There should be significant cost savings to the co-sourcing strategy. Our customers have not encountered any disadvantage to co-sourcing: performance and quality are maintained or improved.  Bucar employees quickly become very knowledgeable and “employee-like” for our customers.  There is always strict protocols and management oversight to ensure there is diligence with client specific legal compliance and security.
