Outsourcing many of the routine business processes to organizations with a lower cost base makes business sense as there is the potential to reduce costs substantially. Cost reduction is one of the prime reasons behind business process outsourcing. The types of business processes that are well suited to this type of business process outsourcing include automated invoice processing, automated purchase order processing, mailroom processing, forms capture and scanning.

Outsourcing specialized business processes to organizations with specialist skills makes business sense, allowing the organization to concentrate on its core business. Utilizing specialist technical knowledge or equipment is another major reason that organizations choose business process outsourcing. The types of business processes that are well suited to this type of business process outsourcing include IT, microfiche or microfilm scanning, and high volume document scanning.
