Difference beetween KPO & BPO

Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) is one step ahead of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). It started emerging in India around the turn of the century, when the global industries realized that apart from software development and technical support, knowledge work could also be outsourced. It involves transfer of business processes to other geographic locations; specialized domain specific knowledge and business expertise of a higher level rather than just process expertise.

KPO is more like a challenge as it demands advanced and expertise skills on part of its employees. BPO on the other hand is more or less like a commodity business which stretches more on information technology and its various sectors.
