But the BPO sector is not what it was ten years ago: it is evolving at a rapid pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baker Tilly\u2019s Tech M&amp;A team has published an exclusive report analysing the <a href=\"https:\/\/techma.bakertilly.es\/en\/reports\/business-process-outsourcing-industry-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the current state and strategic opportunities of the BPO market<\/a>Here are some of the key trends highlighted in this study, and why you should download it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Escalabilidad_y_flexibilidad_el_nuevo_estandar_de_la_externalizacion\"><\/span><strong>Scalability and flexibility: the new standard in outsourcing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional outsourcing is giving way to more agile and adaptable models.
