BPO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
AIM:
To implement a software for BPO management system
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
With the reduction in communication costs and improved bandwidths and associated
infrastructure, BPO as a segment is witnessing a massive growth. One of the key
challenges that BPO companies that provide data entry/data validation services is an
efficient and effective way of getting the source documents from different customers and
accurately route the same to different operators for processing.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION:
INTRODUCTION
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a subset of outsourcing that involves the
contracting of the operations and responsibilities of specific business functions (or
processes) to a third-party service provider. Originally, this was associated with
manufacturing firms, such as Coca Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply
chain.[1] In the contemporary context, it is primarily used to refer to the outsourcing of
business processing services to an outside firm, replacing in-house services with labor
from an outside firm.
BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing - which includes internal
business functions such as human resources or finance and accounting, and front office
outsourcing - which includes customer-related services such as contact center services.
BPO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore outsourcing.
BPO that is contracted to a company's neighboring (or nearby) country is called
nearshore outsourcing.
PURPOSE
Huge reduction in printing, dispatch costs.
Seamless process that is fully integrated ensuring better quality of service to
customers.
Cost reductions by automation of upload processes from clients; automatic
routing of documents to operators using OCR.
Documents as well as the status of process is accessible quickly and from
anywhere to BPO management as well as customers.
Security of documents as they are stored in digital form.
Enriched experience for users as they can search for documents and process them
online.
SCOPE
As part of BPO, documents need to be managed between the outsourcing
company and the offshore company.
Multiple clients need to be managed by the BPO Company.
Security of the documents has to be ensured so that there is no unauthorized
access of the documents to other organizations.
Quick turnaround times have to be managed.
Appropriate process flow of the documents has to be present in the system to
check the status of the documents at any point of time.

OVERVIEW
SRS includes two sections overall description and specific requirements –
Overall Description will describe major role of the system components and inter-
connections.
Specific Requirements will describe roles & functions of the actors.
OVERALL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT PERSPECTIVE
The BPOS acts as an interface between the 'client' and the 'BPO organization'.
This system tries to make the interface as simple as possible and at the same time not
risking the security of data stored in. This minimizes the time duration in which the user
receives the documents.
SOFTWARE INTERFACE
Front End Client - The exporter online interface is built using JSP and HTML.
Web Server – Apache Tomcat Server (Oracle Corporation)
Back End - Oracle 11g database
HARDWARE INTERFACE
The BPO system’s server is directly connected to the client systems via ftp. The
client systems have access to the database in the server.
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
BPO has been designed with the base product to suit the BPO vertical
requirements.
This is a complete web based solution, which enables the BPO Organization’s
clients to store documents automatically on the server.
Clients can scan documents from multiple locations and an automatic uploader
module that can be scheduled automatically uploads the documents.
Documents uploaded are automatically routed to specific users based on the rules
definable by the admin user.
Documents uploaded are automatically routed to specific users based on the rules
definable by the admin user.
Data Entry and Quality check users can automatically download the documents in
a web- based interface to do their respective operations on the documents
uploaded.
Comprehensive reports have been developed to track the status of the documents
at any given point of time.
USER CHARACTERISTICS
• BPO Organization - They are the people who desire to obtain the outsourcing
job from various clients and submit the information to the database.
• Client - He has the certain privileges to outsource their jobs and to approve the
issue of document. He may contain a group of persons under him to verify the
documents and give suggestion whether or not to approve the dispatch of job.
CONSTRAINTS
• The BPO require a computer (FTP) to submit their information.
• Although the security is given high importance, there is always a chance of
intrusion in the web world which requires constant monitoring.
• The user has to be careful while submitting the information. Much care is
required.
ASSUMPTIONS AND DEPENDENCIES
• The organization and client must have basic knowledge of computers and
English Language.
• Provide privacy and security for the documents and client information
USECASE DIAGRAM:
The BPO management system use cases are:
Search for client/job
1. Negotiate the project
2. Upload input data
3. Perform required conversion
4. Quality Check
5. Shipment
6. Payment
ACTORS:
Actors are as follows:
1. BPO Organization
2. Client
ACTORS DOCUMENTATION:
1. BPO Organization:
Searching the client
Downloads the input document
Views images and enters data in accounting package
Checks the quality or images, output of operators
Uploads the output to the clients
2. Client: Clients can scan documents from multiple locations and an
automatic uploader module that can be scheduled automatically uploads the
documents.
USE-CASE NAME: Search for client/job
BPO organization searches the outsourcing job.
USE-CASE NAME: Negotiate the project
Once job has been found then negotiate with the client for doing that project.
USE-CASE NAME: Upload input data
After finalizing the negotiation client uploads the input to the BPO organization
through FTP
USE-CASE NAME: Perform required conversion
BPO organization starts the required conversion process.
USE-CASE NAME: Quality Check
This usecase is used to ensure that the quality of the product. Randomly audits the
outcome of the project to ensure the quality. This process is continued until we achieve
the required quality.
USE-CASE NAME: Shipment
After QC, upload the output to the client.
USE-CASE NAME: Payment
Get the payment for the project from client

ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:
Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and
actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling
Language, activity diagrams can be used to describe the business and operational step-by-
step workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of
control. An activity is shown as an rounded box containing the name of the operation.
This activity diagram describes the behaviour of the system.

UML CLASS DIAGRAM:
The UML class diagram is to illustrate class interfaces and their actions. They are used
for static object modeling, we have already introduced and used their UML diagram
while domain modeling.

UML SEQUENCE DIAGRAM:
A sequence diagram illustrates a kind of format in which each object interacts via
message. It is generalize between two or more specialized diagram.

which object can be placed where on the diagram. In collaboration diagram the object can
be placed in anywhere on the diagram. The collaboration comes from sequence diagram.
