BPO-as-a-service to hit $422Bn by 2035: HFS. Posted on September 12, 2026 BOSTON, UNITED STATES - A new research report from HFS Research projects that Services-as-Software, a model in which enterprises pay for completed work rather than staffed capacity, will generate a $422 billion market within the global business process outsourcing (BPO) sector by 2035, fundamentally repricing the way process work is contracted and delivered. According to the report by HFS Research, the shift toward outcome-based pricing will deflate the overall BPO market by approximately $60 billion relative to its conventional growth trajectory, as enterprises pay less for the same business outcomes under per-unit-of-work pricing. Outcome-based pricing reshapes BPO's commercial model. HFS Research projects the global BPO market will reach $725 billion by 2035 under the Services-as-Software (SaS) disruption scenario, compared to a conventional trajectory of $786 billion, with the $61 billion gap representing work repriced from FTE-based billing to outcome-based contracts. Three in four enterprise leaders expect to shift to SaS models, and more than 40% plan artificial intelligence (AI)-led customer experience within three years, according to the report. Legacy BPO delivery, which the report defines as FTE-based, process-management-oriented service contracts, faces approximately 75% disruption from SaS repricing, while digital BPO faces roughly 25% disruption as it already operates at higher automation levels. HFS Research said SaS models capture the process logic, the exception paths, and the decision rules that have previously lived in people, converting embedded operational knowledge into software platforms that price by the transaction, not the team. Software vendors and AI-native operators enter BPO's competitive field. Published outcome pricing in the SaS market ranges from $0.99 to $2.00 per resolved interaction, with Salesforce Agentforce priced at $2.00 per conversation and approximately $0.30 per three-action case, setting a commercial benchmark that incumbent BPO providers must match or reframe. Heritage BPO providers including Genpact, Firstsource, EXL, and WNS-Capgemini face competitive pressure not only from each other but from software vendors such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, and SAP Joule, alongside AI-native operators recording more than 500,000 daily interactions across 10 or more enterprise clients. HFS Research said the 2026 HFS SaS Awards drew 260 submissions from 126 organizations, with live deployments tracked against pre-deployment baselines, signaling that outcome-based BPO has moved from pilot to production at scale. For buyers and operators evaluating BPO models and pricing structures, the HFS Research data presents the SaS transition as a near-term commercial reality rather than a long-range forecast: established per-transaction pricing benchmarks, Fortune 50 adoption of AI-native operators, and the 2026 awards volume all indicate the market is already setting the terms of the next contracting cycle. BPO buyers renegotiating contracts in 2026 and 2027 should expect outcome-based pricing proposals alongside FTE alternatives, and the $61 billion deflation projection suggests that the same business outcomes will be available at materially lower cost as the SaS segment matures.

Global shipping carrier Pacific International Lines partners with Celonis and WNS to expand Process Intelligence Centre of Excellence. Grant Titmus, Journalist | Published 7 Aug 2026 Singapore's Pacific International Lines (PIL), one of the world's largest shipping container companies, has chosen Celonis, the global leader in Process Intelligence, to accelerate the company's digital transformation. Founded in Singapore in 1967, PIL ranks among the top 12 container carriers worldwide and is the largest home-grown carrier in Southeast Asia. It operates a fleet of more than 100 container vessels servicing 90 countries, requiring high visibility across diverse global routes. Pascal Coubard, VP of APAC at Celonis PIL is using the Celonis Platform to create a dynamic, real-time digital twin of its operations, giving teams across the organisation the ability to understand exactly how the processes are applied and where to improve. Additionally, Celonis has joined forces with WNS, part of Capgemini, to expand its global Process Intelligence Centre of Excellence (CoE). WNS is a global leader in intelligent operations and transformation for the shipping and logistics industry and brings its shipping domain expertise to the CoE, helping embed Celonis' unique capabilities across PIL's systems. Lionel Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer at PIL Together, PIL expects to unlock: * End-to-end visibility across global shipping workflows, from customer-facing operations to back-office processes * Faster identification and resolution of operational inefficiencies through process standardisation across trade operations * A foundation for AI-driven automation, enabling smarter, more resilient operations at scale "In shipping, you're often dealing with dozens of different systems across the globe, which makes it hard to see where things are actually slowing down," said Lionel Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer at PIL. "We're using Celonis because it gives us a single, clear view of how our processes are running in real life. It's not just about efficiency; it's about getting to learn how to make our operations leaner and faster, integrate automation and AI by design into this continuous improvement action so we can empower our resources to better serve our customers and keep the global supply chain moving." Pascal Coubard, VP of APAC at Celonis, said PIL is demonstrating how having the right operational context improves the way the shipping industry works. "By giving their Enterprise AI a holistic, living model of business operations, PIL is creating the optimal conditions for it to drive real outcomes and rapid ROI. We are proud to support them as they transform their operations worldwide and set a new standard for performance across the industry." "Shipping companies like PIL need more than technology, they need the domain expertise to turn process insights into operational change," said Jaison Augustine, Business Unit Head, Shipping & Logistics, WNS. "The CoE we're building together will embed that capability permanently into PIL's organisation, giving them the foundation to continuously optimise and scale." PIL joins a growing roster of organisations in the APAC region using Celonis to optimise their operations, including Singtel, Optus, Queensland Health and New Zealand kiwi fruit giant Zespri.

Carlyle buys RCM providers Knack & Equalize for $600 million. By ET Bureau Last Updated: May 05, 2026, 12:46:00 AM IST Carlyle Group is building a global healthcare revenue cycle management platform. The firm acquired majority stakes in US companies Knack and Equalize. These companies will merge to form a new entity. Carlyle plans to invest significantly and aims for a public listing this fiscal year. This move strengthens their presence in technology and tech-enabled services. Mumbai: Carlyle Group on Monday announced the acquisition of majority stakes in two leading US healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM) providers, Knack and Equalize, for developing a broader AI-native, global, multispecialty RCM platform. Financial details of the deals were not disclosed. Assembly Elections 2026 Last August, Carlyle had bought a majority stake in Knack at a $500 million valuation. According to people in the know, it has now acquired Equalize at a $200 million valuation, which would be subsequently merged with Knack for creating a wholly-owned subsidiary. The private equity firm would be investing $400 million in total in the two companies. Inclusive of debt, Carlyle's investment is pegged at $600 million, the people said. Carlyle has hired Gautam Barai, former chief operating officer at WNS, to run the new platform, with a plan for a public listing this fiscal year. Both the founders of the two companies will remain invested in the platform through a reinvestment of a portion of their proceeds. Carlyle plans to build on this platform strategy by pursuing additional opportunities in the RCM industry and will continue to seek to add synergistic assets with complementary offerings. "Carlyle has a track record of executing similar strategies in sectors such as auto components and pharmaceuticals," said Amit Jain, head of Carlyle in India. "This investment extends our India for the World thesis and builds on our experience investing in technology and tech-enabled services." "Globally, Carlyle has backed several healthcare technology platforms like Indegene, Visionary RCM, and CorroHealth, and we will bring this expertise and execution capability to scale the combined Knack and Equalize platform," said Jain. Knack and Equalize are complementary healthcare RCM providers serving physician groups, durable medical equipment (DME) providers, rural hospitals, and other specialty provider segments. The combined platform is expected to enhance operational scale and diversification, broaden the delivery footprint, strengthen leadership depth, and help accelerate AI capabilities to enhance outcomes for clients, according to Carlyle. The outsourced market for the US healthcare industry is growing at 12% annually. Knack contributes scaled, global delivery across the US, India, and the Philippines, anchored by end-to-end revenue engine powered by its orchestration platform, Workmate. Equalize RCM complements this with its established delivery scale in the US and India, alongside a proprietary payer enrolment platform and advanced AI-driven tools such as Bill Smart for denial prediction and avoidance that are purpose-built for hospitals, urgent care, and targeted specialty segments. "The US healthcare revenue cycle market is growing rapidly, driven by margin compression, workforce shortages, and the shift to value-based care," said Kapil Modi, partner at Carlyle India. According to Nagi Rao, founder of Equalize, a partnership with Knack will help business partners like rural hospitals and behavioural health providers to stave off margin pressures while ensuring access to care while leveraging a global network approach as well as a wider adoption of AI native platform. Healthcare providers measure success by ability to meet payroll, preserve services, and support their communities-not by amount of automation deployed. A combination is expected to tackle complex parts of the revenue cycle, including rural cost reports and challenging anaesthesia cases.
