BPO Industry in the Philippines

BPO Status in the Philippines

Economic evolution is inevitable. Companies will always pursue the lowest-cost structure, which means less skilled work will move out of the U.S. to emerging economies. And that's a good thing, because living standards around the world will rise. Workers in developing nations will get new and higher-paying jobs, and consumers in the U.S. will be able to buy products that are cheaper than if they were made at home. The shift first occurred in textiles and other manufacturing jobs, followed by low-end services such as telemarketing and data entry. Now, it's moving up the labor food chain.

From inventories to nanosecond technologies, business practices now turn on a dime. As soon as work can be made routine – whether it’s data-entry or media management -- the job can potentially be outsourced.

We're talking about computers and other high tech, business services, and finance. Add those industries up, along with factory jobs, and you find that private-sector jobs are now being outsourced more and more. And that doesn't count back-office functions such as accounts payable, marketing and sales, and human resources that exist in U.S.-grounded industries such as retailing, health care, and recreation. All of them could be shipped overseas in the name of cost-cutting.

Though America is on the cutting edge of the information and technology economy, others are fast catching up. The Philippines awards more natural science and engineering degrees than developed countries do.

But there are others services offered by Philippine-based outsourcing companies aside from call centers, and some of which are that of: writers, graphic designers, programmers, media managers, quality assurance representatives and data entry clerks.
