Sourcing Destination Snapshot - The Emerging Philippine Value Proposition

Online, May 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In designing sourcing models, IT and BPO decision-makers literally have a "world" to choose from when it comes to competitive country locations. The unique needs of a business will clearly drive managers to seek out sites capable of satisfying a range of those complex demands. With that said, informed professionals know that the Republic of the Philippines is a world-class delivery-center destination that should be closely evaluated as an option in any sourcing exercise.

Why the Philippines:

• From a sourcing perspective, the Philippines is a major offshore destination that is highly competitive in low-cost, high-quality service delivery.
• Highly skilled, English speaking work force that is culturally encouraged to think creatively and perform with results.
• Strong government support and rapidly improving technical infrastructures.
• Filipino culture has strong influences from many of the Western countries vendors provide services for.

Accordingly, the Philippines has steadily risen to be one of the top outsourcing destinations in the world for both large and mid-sized companies. Specifically, the Philippines provide outsourcing services in the field of IT, financial services, health care, retail, manufacturing, technology, media as well as architecture and engineering-related services. Metro Manila is one of the strongest centers in the country, however, other cities like Cebu, Davao, Bacolod, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Clark/Angeles, Sta. Rosa, etc. have emerged as powerful alternative locations due to increased demand and growth.
