Frequently Asked Questions
What is outsourcing?
Outsourcing is the contracting out of a company's non-core, non-revenue-producing activities to specialists. It differs from contracting in that outsourcing is a strategic management tool that involves the restructuring of an organization around what it does best - its core competencies.
Two common types of outsourcing are Information Technology (IT) outsourcing and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). BPO includes outsourcing related to administrative, accounting, HR, benefits, payroll, and finance functions and activities.
What is a Virtual Assistant?
A virtual assistant (VA) is a professional who provides assistance to your business remotely. Our VAs are selected based on skills, education and experience, BO Technology ensures you are matched with a VA that meets your needs.
Being remotely based means you can save on your overhead costs – your employees’ monthly wages, benefits, taxes and even equipment and office space costs. We take care of all of this for you.

Email us at va@botechnology.com or complete the form at our contact page. Tell us which aspect of your business you need assistance with and one of our Senior Consultants will be in touch with you to discuss your requirements.
This ensures that we match a VA to your exact business requirement.
Is it really cheaper to hire a Virtual Assistant than a full-time employee?
Without a doubt. You only pay a monthly fee for our VA’s services. There are no hidden fees or other charges involved. Hiring a full-time employee makes you liable for all kinds of additional costs such as federal and state payroll taxes, FICA, unemployment insurance, vacation pay, employee benefits and training costs. You also don’t have to worry about paying for any additional office space or equipment costs for desks, chairs, computers, etc.
