6.Data Entry Outsourcing

Many companies today require data entry operations and keeping these processes in-house requires specialized skills and can be very costly. Although data entry outsourcing has only become popular recently, it has existed for many years. Along with the increased need for data entry work came the realization that data entry is not necessarily best handled by in-house personnel. Data entry does not require understanding of the product, database or business at such, what counts is how fast, accurately and efficiently the data entry is done.

Thus outsourcing data entry to experts is more profitable and eases administrative and management burdens as well. Companies can concentrate on their core business operations knowing that the supporting systems are in place. A professional data entry outsourcing provider will not only manage all of your company’s data entry needs but can even advise you on how to keep costs low.Numerous companies in offshore locations such as India and China have the expertise and experience to perform data entry operations according to requirements.

These outsourcing companies have the capability to provide a variety of data entry operations like data extraction from any format such as hand written documents, typed copy or a scanned image; reject re-entry, data scanning for accuracy and personnel review, e-books and e-zine publications, medical and telecom billing, records and database maintenance, real-time data entry etc. at a cheaper cost and in a more efficient way. Outsourcing companies continuously evaluate new software and process improvements that will result in greater service and product level improvements.

By outsourcing data entry operations to off-shore destinations a company can thus benefit from lower costs, increasing efficiency, access to skilled manpower and from access to high quality technologies that in-turn help in increasing productivity. In some cases handling data entry in-house is a viable option, but in many situations the work is best handled by experts in that area of work. For instance when conducting a large time consuming survey, more work and effort is required from employees.
