Drivers

• Growing need to comply with regulations

Compliance refers to conformation of a rule such as a policy or a law that keeps the company in check and increases cooperation among others. It has been historically viewed as a burden by business houses and the ever increasing obligations of these regulatory compliances have presented a unique class of challenges across several industry verticals especially for the IT sector.

• Increasing need for business agility

Business agility refers to the capability of a business to realize and retain its maximum potential both its terms of profits and its employees amidst a dynamic external and internal environment. Undergoing a cultural change is one of the toughest parts in achieving business agility as it requires commitment from top leadership. The competition has increased exponentially and established methods such as Scrum and Safe may not be good enough. As a result, companies today are switching to Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) as they can increase the efficiency with reliability while minimizing the risk. This is done by focusing on customer-centric goals and promoting collaboration among the team which can lead to new innovations.

Opportunities

• Focus on multi-workflow scheduling of business

Earlier, automated workflows were reserved only for the wealthy organizations that were willing to invest heavily in complex CRM and ERP systems. But, the advent of cloud technology has turned this concept on its head. As the technology transformed, people started leveraging its power to automate their complex workflow processes in order to achieve process integration. The cloud workflow technology is capable of improving and optimizing businesses processes, allowing us to achieve better process control and increasing the flexibility and quality of the process. This technology makes it very convenient for building, managing, executing and monitoring. It has also enabled the organizations to reach new standards of efficiency.

As BPaaS heavily relies on cloud, thus it is able to automate and provide its services efficiently. Not only that, they are also able to scale their offerings as well as offer a standardized or a customized service with very minimal costs. Not only that, it is also capable of scheduling the workflow by drawing up a strategy as per the user requirements.

Restraints/Challenges

• Growing concerns regarding data security

Data security refers to the process of protecting digital data from unauthorized access and corruption throughout its lifecycle. To ensure this, various data security controls such as authentication, access control, encryption, backups & recovery, data masking and many more. However, in the past one and a half decade, the attacks on data security have increased significantly. Various types of data security risks can arise such as data tampering, data theft and modifying user identities among others. Technological advancements have boosted business activities on one hand but they have also presented severe privacy issues on the other hand. As BPaaS uses cloud computing, they are also susceptible to similar data breach attacks and due to their heavy reliance on cloud, their threat surface area is also high.

• Integration with third party BPaaS vendors

Nowadays, almost all the website and companies rely on third party integration leading to reduced manpower, saved time and various other benefits and business processes are no exception. However, reliability on third party vendors has their own set of integration problems. Various companies that are outsourcing are using different modules designed as standalone services. Even though it is slowly improving, it is still unable to function smoothly and meet customer requirements.

For starters, during 3rd party application analysis, any issues related to third party system may be erroneously shown as product issues which can slow down the overall testing and can delay the launch and use of the product. In addition, during testing phase the integration may fail due to improper support and compatibility issues. Problems may even arise after deployment or integration. Apart from that, existing business processes which have worked for one company may not be suitable for other company. Hence, integration issues arising with third party vendors are a major factor which is posing a challenge for the growth of the market.
