Philippines
Favoured For BPO
by

Asia Pulse - American companies looking for outsourcing partners in
OutsourceWorld New York have cited the Philippines strong affinity with the
Western culture as the country's distinct advantage in business process
outsourcing (BPO).
The Philippines unique selling
proposition is it is the closest to American in Asia. Americans in general
find the Filipinos easy to work with compared to other countries in Asia,
according to American outsourcing expert Richard Mills, chairman of Chalre
Associates Executive Search.
As a previous US colony, much of
the Philippines' social, political and educational
system was patterned after the US.
American English was taught to
young Filipino students and even the basic form of
government was patterned after the American model.
The Philippines track record and
roster of major international companies with operations in the country
likewise left a positive impression to American firms in OutsourceWorld New
York which are interested to outsource in the Philippines.
According to Senior Trade
Undersecretary Thomas G. Aquino, also the head of delegation of the US trade
mission, Many American companies were surprised to know that a number of
Fortune 500 companies are already using the Philippines as outsourcing
destination of their non-core functions such as financial and accounting
services, human resources, logistics, content management and publisher
services.
Some of the well-known American
brands with outsourcing projects in the Philippines are American Express,
FedEx, Intel, Microsoft, Dell, Kodak, General Motors, MCI, Procter &
Gamble, and Verizon among others.
Firms outsource in the
Philippines because of the English language capability and
competitive IT skills of its people, government support to IT services, and
reliable telecom infrastructure.
As more and more US firms focus
on core competencies, opportunities abound for
niche back office services.
"We saw opportunities in
outsourcing application support and maintenance, technical support, business
analysis, accounting, HR, insurance processing, bank processing, medical
transcription, legal services, animation and other non-core back office
processes," added Aquino.
Programa Technologias
Informacion of the Fundacion Chile said that the solid English speaking
contact center industry presents partnership opportunities with Chile for
the Spanish-speaking requirements of Philippine US clients.
The Philippines was represented
by 17 BPO companies in OutsourceWorld New York, namely ADEC Solutions, Inc.,
Advanced Contact Solutions, Inc., Ambergris Solutions, Inc., Berthaphil
Business Park, Business Process Outsourcing International, Inc. (BPOi),
Comfac Global Group, Diversified Technology Solutions International, Inc. (DTSI),
Eximius BPO Services Inc., Exist Software, Pointwest Technologies
Corporation, Quisumbing Torres, SENCOR, Teledata Philippines, Inc.,
Transprocure Corporation and Virtual Assistants. Telco giants Innove
Communications and the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) are
supporting the project as sponsors.
The Philippine participation in
OutsourceWorld New York and ICT Business Mission
to the US is organized by the Department of Trade and Industry through the
Center
for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), Board of
Investments (BOI) and Foreign Trade Service Corps, in coordination with the
Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP).
The United States remains the
Philippines' primary source market for outsourced business processes and
contact center services.
It is also the world's largest
source of IT enabled services (ITES) outsourced
contracts and accounts for 44 per cent of the global total. This figure is
expected to
increase by 60 per cent in 2008.
"When there is a robust
growth of the economy, there is an increase in IT spending.
Now, we are seeing more inquiries, more business visits, more
projects," Aquino said.
