WHAT DOES LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING MEAN, AND HOW DOES IT RELATE TO BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING (BPO)?
Business Process Outsourcing brings in a third party to examine how something is done; the outsourcing company breaks the overall activity into discrete steps, and then applies analytical tools and technology to those discrete steps. This results in the identification of methods and technological tools that can be applied to specific components to build in greater efficiencies and maximize cost savings. Legal Process Outsourcing uses the same analytical and technological tools to identify ways to do various legal activities, or discrete steps within larger activities, more efficiently and cost effectively.
