Philippine Outsourcing at a glance...

Philippine outsourcing had not been like the way it is today two decades ago. India was then the king of providing business services in the BPO sector. But the tide has change in favor of the Philippines.

Ranked somewhere at the bottom spot twenty years ago, however, because of the English language competencies of her labor pool attracted leading multinational sourcing companies to try the ability of the Philippines to provide business services.

At present, though India still considered to be the number one outsourcing destination, the Philippines is fast catching up to grab the spot where India has been holding for the last twenty years.

With the trends on how US and UK companies look for a BPO company, the Philippines can outrank India. These companies do not solely consider the cost benefit but largely wanting a BPO entity that could give them both cost benefit and quality production for themselves and their clients as well.

In that aspect, the Philippines is far better than India.
