Outsource service providers are specialists in delivering a specific service or product.

They have massive amounts of knowledge and experience of providing their service such as payroll to 1000s of different kinds of companies in 100s of different countries. So clients are always asking “what do I need to do to have payroll / legal entity / service centre in country X?”. This is the perfect time for the outsourcing service to show the client the value they can provide by walking the client through everything they need to know and what they need to do an when to achieve their aim.

This value added service would be highly sort after and a worthwhile investment for the client beyond paying for the outsourced service.

This means the outsourcing service provider must be able to easily and quickly access and manage their own knowledge.

Knowledge management is one of the biggest challenges for any company but one that could increase their share price and market share by a very significant amount.
