Outsourcing is often framed as a way to achieve cost savings, but for many organizations, it is about improving performance and gaining operational control. When internal teams are stretched, systems are fragmented, or growth outpaces capacity, the right external partnership can quickly stabilize operations and optimize workflows.
The case studies below highlight how companies across financial services, retail, healthcare, travel, and sales addressed real business challenges through structured outsourcing engagements. Together, they show how well-aligned partnerships can produce practical results and help organizations maintain a competitive edge.
Outsourcing is when a company partners with external service providers to manage specific business functions rather than handling them in-house. These functions can range from customer support and human resources to software development and IT outsourcing. Rather than hiring, training, and managing additional internal staff, the company works with a specialized partner that already has the people and systems in place, allowing internal leaders to focus on their core business.
For example, a fast-growing SaaS company might outsource software development to a trusted technology partner to accelerate product updates without adding unsustainable workloads to its internal development team. In another case, a retailer could outsource IT support to ensure 24/7 system monitoring and issue resolution, allowing its internal leaders to focus on strategy and growth initiatives.
Outsourcing can deliver strong results, but outcomes depend on how the engagement is structured and which provider is selected. Many companies work with a BPO consulting partner to guide this process and ensure business goals and provider capabilities are aligned from the start.
An experienced advisor adds value in several key ways:
With the right consulting support, outsourcing becomes a deliberate and well-managed strategy. This structured approach increases the likelihood of consistent performance and sustained long-term value.

Outsourcing looks different across industries, but the core goal remains the same: improve performance without overloading internal teams. These five case studies illustrate how organizations in financial services, retail, healthcare, travel, and sales used carefully selected partners to restore stability and deliver measurable gains.
Challenge: A major financial institution managed sales validation through seven disconnected phone-based channels. Each channel submitted customer data separately, resulting in delays and errors throughout the validation process.

Challenge: A multi-channel retailer relied on 12+ ecommerce platforms, many of which were closed systems with no integration options. Orders had to be manually re-entered by internal staff, diverting attention from core functions and leading to delays and costly input errors.
Solution: TDS Global Solutions matched the retailer with an outsourcing company skilled in managing disconnected workflows. A secured, structured process was implemented across all platforms to streamline operations and scale capacity to meet peak demand, requiring no additional call center technology investments.

Agents were deployed across all support channels, ensuring full language coverage and high-quality service.
