Discussion
The term business process outsourcing is often confounded with "information technology (IT) outsourcing", they are related but not synonymous. IT oriented companies and consultancies often do so. Gartner's definition is a good example: "the delegation of one or more IT-intensive business processes to an external provider that, in turn, owns, administrates and manages the selected processes based on defined and measurable performance metrics."[1]. Any business process may be outsourced.
