“ I was concerned about data protection”

When I mulled over the idea about outsourcing, my biggest worry was about data protection. But, it became quickly evident that Integra’s security measures are seriously fool-proof.

I am very comfortable working with Integra, as I get the ability to be absolutely thorough, because of the low costs. Another big advantage as I see is, they are very happy to work to my process and not theirs.

Initially I had some difficulty and it was more to do with the fact that that I am not an accountant. Once I started communicating directly with the team, it became lot easier. I recommend Integra, because I feel that they are fair and trustworthy.

Accounts outsourcing – How to get it right?

Getting it right is very important when it comes to accounts outsourcing. Where can it go wrong? Security of data, communication issues and cultural fit are some of the areas where it can go wrong. Though, security of data is portrayed as an important issue and remains a concern, it was just blown out of proportion by the tabloid media. Now most of the accounts outsourcing providers have implemented excellent security measures for data protection.

Communication and cultural fit are the other worries and if you get this right with the accounts outsourcing provider, half your job is done. Communication can get difficult if you try to outsource to an accounts outsourcing provider who are many miles away and often in different continents as in the case with Integra.

We try to address the communication issues, by having local contact in UK to make it easy for the clients. This is all the more important in the early stages of accounts outsourcing relationship. We also invite our clients to visit our facilities in India, spend a day or two with our people and this helps break the ice. The relationship becomes lot better after the people know each other in person.

Cultural fit is also important in an accounts outsourcing. You should try to understand the culture and ethos of the accounts outsourcing provider. Some companies may have strong corporate culture and some may have too relaxed/family kind of culture. This is even more the case in companies from India and China. From our beginning, in Integra we have the values of a family run company with the desire and ambition of results driven corporate.

If you get the cultural fit and communication sorted, you are about 90% sorted in your quest to get your accounts outsourcing right.
