In no other point in the history of humanity can we observe as high a level of connectedness among humans as we see now.
The currency of airports, the prevalence of mobile phones, the convenience of the internet, even the aromatic stimulation you receive from a morning cup of Arabic coffee are all signs of a world getting together despite great distances.
The celebrated journalist, Thomas Friedman, famously declared that "the world is flat.
" This is a poignant statement which illuminates the dynamics between countries, societies and peoples in this day and age.
Though national and cultural divides are still present, nothing is holding back the massive movements and connections people create across the regions.
This is also a powerful statement of how technology has advanced to bridge these various divides.
Aviation has made travelling anywhere around the globe a breeze.
Communications technologies are connecting people anywhere with handheld devices.
And of course, the ever-expanding reach of the internet has broken all sorts of national barriers and has created a virtual landscape where anyone can instantly connect with any person with a computer and an internet connection no matter where that person may be.
It is this level of high connectedness that businesses are noticing and adapting to.
No savvy businessperson can say that a place is too remote or far flung for a business to thrive in.
In a time as thoroughly connected as ours, a business opportunity can be taken up at almost any place where human communities reside.
Perhaps in no other field in business is this global connectedness most reflective and felt than in the rise of business process outsourcing or BPO companies.
In fact, these BPO companies contribute in a big way in accelerating the interconnectedness of peoples around the world.
A retail store based in Seattle can have its customer service personnel over at India and its website development team over at the Philippines while its products are being made and shipped from China.
These different teams, though they work across vast distances, collaborate with each other in order to achieve the singular objective of the business.
It's all about bringing talent together no matter where these persons are on the globe.
That's ability and efficiency done at a global scale.
BPO companies are thus an impressive manifestation of this interconnected global village.
If this is anything to go by, BPO is indeed paving the way to the future and FlexPoint Outsourcing is ready to take you there.
