Business process outsourcing has fully evolved from a new industry into a globally sought for phenomenon. The global financial crisis that has ravaged world economies heavily for almost a decade now has pushed companies to look for cheaper means of conducting their operations. And such craving for cost efficiency sparked the boom of BPO.
BPO is the assignment or delegation of one or more non-core business process to an offshore service provider that specializes in such processes. Cost reduction made possible with the conversion of all or almost all fixed costs into relevant variable costs was traditionally considered as the main benefit of offshoring a business activity. Elimination of startup costs in establishing new in-house service departments can also be eliminated trough outsourcing. Flexibility of the quantity of service and workforce has also been a major factor.
BPO as a mere cost cutting tool is now but a thing of the past. High demand for outsourcing has caused a dramatic increase in the supple of BPO services. The heightening supply and demand has created a chain reaction the now very strict competition has caused a great increase in the quality of services offered. BPO is now in demand because of the unique competitive advantage it offers as well as the superior quality of the resulting processes.
With the many countries offering business process outsourcing services, only one has wowed the world as its BPO industry grew to epic proportions in record time. The Philippines has risen from a nobody in the outsourcing world into a global leader that has all potential to be the king of world offshore services. The Philippines is now the number one destination of outsourcing services in the Asia Pacific, and 3rd in the world, behind only India and China.
Contact centers more popularly known as call centers were what originally put the Philippines in the global BPO spotlight. The countrys huge and rich pool of highly competent English-proficient and neutrally-accented workforce has taken the world by storm. Along with the dedication, hard work, loyalty and adaptability Filipinos are known for, Philippine call centers have made their mark in the outsourcing market. In recognition of the Filipinos potential in offshore contact services, many foreign investors have come to the Philippines to bet on the success of the countrys BPO industry. The huge inflow of foreign direct investment has further fueled the republics advance in the field of outsourcing.
With the momentum provided by its call centers, the Philippines has expanded its reign and now also excels in the fields of finance and accounting as well as legal and medical transcription services outsourcing. It is also now a leader in software development and animation services offshoring. In fact, many large animation companies have put up their branches in the Philippines to better avail of the services of Filipino animators. Filipinos have also taken part in the making of the most popular animated motion pictures that have made it big in Hollywood.
The government has expressed its full support in the BPO industry and eyes it as one of the biggest factors in the countrys growth and development. This support is evident in the offering of several incentives to induce foreign direct investors as well as the inclusion of BPO subjects to the related courses. A strict certification process is also being conducted to make sure that only capable and high quality BPO facilities get licensed.
