OUTSOURCING OVERVIEW

Outsourcing, the practice of using outside firms to handle work normally performed within a company, has always been a familiar concept to many entrepreneurs. Functions such as payroll processing, accounting, distribution, web hosting, amongst many others are routinely outsourced by small companies. 

 

Even though entire industries have been formed to provide outsourced services not many businesses thoroughly understand the benefits of outsourcing. Everybody knows that outsourcing can save money, and in many cases it will, but that's not the only reason to do it. Wise outsourcing, that is the practice of outsourcing ancillary functions and not functions related to your core competencies, can provide a number of long-term benefits.

 

 

BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING
Control Capital Costs

Controlling capital costs may not be the only reason to outsource, but it's certainly a major factor. Outsourcing converts fixed costs into variable costs, releases capital for investment elsewhere in your business, and allows you to avoid large capital expenditures. The money saved from outsourcing can be used in revenue producing activities.

With AVC you will completely eliminate the need for all capital expenditures now and in the future on voice mail and voice messaging equipment.  AVC maintains our own systems and performs updates and system replacements on a regular schedule.

Reduce Labor Costs

Hiring and training staff is very expensive, especially with an above average turnover.   When an employee exits your company you are not just losing an employee, you are more importantly losing the intellectual property they are bringing with them.  Your company then has to deal with the added expense of finding the best candidate, training them properly and allowing time for the learning curve.

With AVC we manage all of your adds, deletes and changes.  Furthermore your Telecommunications staff is no longer bothered with maintaining and upgrading a voice mail system. 

Start New Projects Quickly

AVC has the resources in place to start new projects quickly.  Existing customers open new offices all of the time.  Without AVC they would need to specify the equipment, put it out to bid, evaluate the responses, purchase the equipment, have it installed, hire a staff to manage it and train the staff. This can take hundreds of man hours to complete and potentially months of down time. 

With AVC our customers make one phone call to us and we can have them up and running in a 1/4 of the time it would have taken them to do it ourselves.  Our systems are always drastically oversized to meet your immediate needs.  In a non integrated environment we can have your employees on voice mail the same day.

Focus On Your Core Business

Every business has limited resources, if not there wouldn't be any unemployment. Outsourcing helps companies  focus their activities towards work that serves their customer.

With AVC we allow you to reallocate your resources to other projects within your company.  

Reduce Risk

Every business investment carries a certain amount of risk. Technology, government regulations, etc all change very quickly.

With AVC, we assume and manage this risk of owning and operating voice messaging equipment for you.  Considering this is our core competency, we have the experience and resources to manage and avoid the risk better than anyone.

Disaster Recovery

In some cases outsourcing is an excellent component of a disaster recovery plan. 

With AVC our systems are not located at your facilities.  In a minor and major disaster your employees and customers will stay communicated because our systems will be unaffected.  Employees will still receive important recovery information from your corporate office.  Furthermore your customers will not receive dead air, their calls will be answered by the same voice messaging platform they have grown accustomed to.  This is a major component of maintaining your customers trust and loyalty and restoring their confidence in a disaster.
