A Guide on Identifying the
Business Process to Offshore A Guide on Identifying the
Business Process to Offshore
What Not to Offshore
To protect your core business and build
confidence, keep these business-critical
functions in-house as you begin your offshoring
journey:
•Core Strategy:
Vision, mission, and competitive positioning.
•High-Level Sales & Client Management:
Building deep, strategic client relationships.
•Product Development & Innovation:
Protecting intellectual property and
ensuring quality control (R&D).
The 3-Step Framework for Identifying
Offshore Candidates
A task is a strong candidate for offshoring if it
passes all three tests. Use this as your checklist:
Step 1: Is it Repeatable and Rule-Based?
The task follows clear instructions and produces
predictable output.
•Examples:
Data entry, social media scheduling, and
invoice processing
Step 2: Does it Consume Significant Time?
It's low-value work that currently prevents your
core team from focusing on growth and strategy.
•Examples:
Bookkeeping, content formatting, and
appointment setting
Step 3: Can the Outcome Be Measured with
KPIs?
Success is quantifiable, allowing you to
confidently track performance and manage the
process remotely.
•Examples:
Calls made, support tickets resolved, and
accounts reconciled

This makes the decision process concrete and gives
you a quick-start roadmap.
Avoiding the “Systemization Trap”
Identifying the right process is only the beginning.
Offshoring forces clarity by requiring you to
document, clarify, and measure your workflows. The
next critical step is creating detailed Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure your offshore
team executes with precision.
