Should you insource or outsource your call center?

What motivates businesses to insource or outsource call center solutions among other services vary from company to company. To know which option is the best for you, you should first define your business goals. The industry you’re in is another key factor that can help you decide whether to return previously outsourced operations under your direct management, or to continue having them delegated to a third party company.

What drives companies to insource

Insourcing is the termination of outsourced business functions for the purpose of having them performed internally. It’s a type of business strategy that aims to closely manage a company’s core competencies. Many companies opt to insource because they see a better talent pool within its own workforce, while others to strengthen local employment.

Insourcing best benefits the manufacturing industry as it lowers tax, labor, and transportation costs. If your company is in need of a skill that is not available locally, hiring an outside expert to work with your internal staff or within your business facility is another form of insourcing that you may find efficient.

The advantages of keeping services outsourced

Companies that outsource call center, IT, creative, and other divisions generally do so to cut expenses. But perhaps the most significant benefit of doing so is that it lets them focus on their main operations.

While outsourcing will let you save time, energy, and resources, insourcing involves starting a new department, expanding facilities, and going through a lengthy hiring and training course. This shows the advantage of partnering with an outsource provider as a third-party will handle the processes involved in insourcing. Your provider must show expertise in accomplishing your non-core tasks, assuring you that the responsibilities you outsource are done by experts of those tasks.

The decision

For most businesses, both insourcing and outsourcing are needed to guarantee a smooth, effective operation. Weigh your choices of location, labor source, and cost-saving schemes to determine how much work you should outsource and insource. Get the most out of the two strategies and make them complement and not compete with each other to come up with the most ideal business plan.

Open Access BPO conducted Plant It Forward, a two-part tree-planting initiative, held in Laguna and Davao in May and June 2025.

Volunteers from both activities planted 300 Philippine indigenous trees, which were selected to help maintain the biodiversity in the area.

โ€œThis program is more than just planting trees; itโ€™s about cultivating a culture of social responsibility within our organization and demonstrating our commitment to the communities where we operate,โ€ said Joy Sebastian, Global VP at Open Access BPO.

This is only the start. Open Access BPO vows to continue investing in such environmental projects, affirming its core value of creating positive impact.

Weโ€™ve made yet another bold move.

Just last month, TDCX Group launched Chemin to help the worldโ€™s most ambitious companies realize their AI goals โ€” faster, safer, and smarter.

To accelerate our ambition, the Group has acquired SUPA, a cutting-edge data annotation platform known for its agile, gig-powered model and elite talent network.

SUPA will now be part of Chemin, as we make moves to deepen our ability to support everything from training foundational models to safeguarding mission-critical AI systems.

โ€œThe future of customer experience is AI-powered, and AI itself runs on increasingly complex, curated data. SUPA brings us the right capabilities and talent frameworks to fuel that future. By embedding SUPA into Chemin, weโ€™re doubling down on our ability to support enterprise and frontier AI labs with world-class data operations,โ€ says Laurent Junique, CEO and Founder, TDCX Group.

As the demand for precision, scalability, and human-in-the-loop intelligence grows, we look forward to delivering the kind of nuanced data interpretation and domain expertise todayโ€™s frontier AI requires.
