Outsourcing, or subcontracting, having support staff, allowing others to manage your workload; whichever way you define it, outsourcing has become an attractive solution to many businesses and individuals. These are very challenging times, with tight deadlines and even tighter budgets; it’s not surprising that thousands of companies choose to outsource their transcription. It can be a totally pain-free way of working which allows you the freedom to focus on more important issues that matter most to you, especially when considering that it takes at least three times the length of an audio file to type it up to a high standard. A good audio-transcription company will take care of all your transcription requirements quickly and efficiently. In today’s busy marketplace, staff need to perform multiple roles within an organisation – audio-typing is a time-consuming task. Outsourcing can save you or your staff a lot of time which could be spent focusing on other matters.
Other benefits of outsourcing to a transcription company include costs savings – savings on capital expenditure. There will be no need to purchase costly audio-transcription equipment and software at your own expense. Another good reason to outsource is reduction in employee costs. There is no need to pay regular salaries and other employee expenses such as holiday pay, taxes or N.I contributions. This is a great advantage for those who have perhaps just started in business and cannot yet afford to take on someone full-time. Outsourcing gives you the flexibility to get help exactly when you need it. Perhaps you keep irregular working hours; outsourcing will give you access to staff who are available at your disposal 24/7/365. Perhaps you need a document to be completed overnight for that important breakfast meeting; a good outsourcing company will take care of it for you.
Outsourcing allows your business to focus on what it does best. There will be no need to divert valuable resources to the recruitment and training of staff dedicated to transcription, leaving you free to channel those resources into new revenue and investment areas or to focus on your customers.
