Strategic resource allocation, including human resource allocation, can be the deciding factor that determines whether or not a firm can remain competitive in the global market. Increasingly, companies are engaging in business process outsourcing and shared services to help them stay ahead of their competitors. By consolidating similar back-end operations and outsourcing non-core functions, companies can decrease costs while improving transactional accuracy and service quality.

In Malaysia, outsourcing and shared services account for over RM 1 billion in investment and for nearly 8,000 jobs. Malaysia draws outsourcing and shared services business because of its advanced infrastructure, low costs, multi-lingual talent pool, and strong government support. Malaysia was ranked by AT Kearney as one of the attractive countries to set up outsourcing and shared services centers.
