Four Compelling Reasons Why Top NZ Businesses Are Outsourcing Transcription
Pacific SolutionsCompanies that use dictation as a key method of communication also require efficient, accurate and timely transcription. Traditionally legal, medical, insurance and finance professionals relied on in-house typists to transcribe their spoken words into text. This method of dictating and transcribing has endured for over 100 years.
Today more and more businesses choose to outsource their transcription needs to a professional transcription company, such as Pacific Transcription. Listed below are four compelling reasons why companies elect to outsource their transcription.
Reason One: Outsourcing Transcription Saves Your Business Money
Long gone are the days of the typists pool, the analogue dictaphone, and the secretary using shorthand to record the boss’s dictations. In today’s busy work environment staff need to possess a variety of skills and abilities and be responsive to the ever-changing nature of work.
If transcription is not their core work, and your company is not in the business of transcription, it makes sense to leave that work to a company whose core business is transcription. By outsourcing your transcription needs you are free to reallocate resources and staff to critical growth areas in your business.
Reason Two: Outsourcing Transcription Saves Your Business Time
The work of transcribing from the audio was often carried out by a secretary or assistant who had myriad other jobs to conduct as a part of their daily workflow. The time it took to produce a transcript meant they were not able to focus on their other important roles in the business, and they had to squeeze the task into an already full workload.
By outsourcing your transcription requirements to a professional transcription company, urgent files can be returned more quickly to the dictator. This means your staff are free to concentrate on growing and improving the core areas of your business, and you get your important dictations on time. Now that makes good business sense.
Reason Three: Outsourcing Transcription Mitigates the Unexpected
Despite the best-laid plans the unexpected still happens. Staff get sick, technology breaks down, computers get viruses and yet, amidst all this chaos, important documents still need to be transcribed and supplied to clients and colleagues. Smooth over the troubled waters associated with the unexpected, and outsource your transcription needs to a professional transcription company.
Reason Four: Outsourcing Transcription Reduces Resources Drain on Your Business
When facilitating in-house transcription resources need to be allocated to ensure efficient and effective delivery of transcripts. Specific transcription equipment such as transcription software, transcription foot pedals, headsets, dedicated computers and space resources are essential. By outsourcing your transcription needs your business no longer needs to purchase, maintain and upgrade these resources. Instead, you can direct the cost of these resources to a more needy area in your business, thereby minimising the resource drain on the business.
Saving time and money, energising your business and reducing resource drain are four compelling reasons why New Zealand businesses are outsourcing their transcription needs to an experienced, highly professional and quality-driven transcription company, such as Pacific Transcription.
