• Service quality. Lack of quality manpower and infrastructure problems may affect the quality of service provided by a vendor.
• Vendor consolidation. The emergence of well-managed, third party BPO firms has lead to companies looking for buyers for their captive BPO operations. Vendors consider acquisitions as a means of expanding their offshore presence, augmenting the range of their services and acquiring skilled staff.
