Relocation: Success Overrides Unfounded Risks

Relocating business processes in the Philippines is a strategy where it makes most business sense, by capitalising on the global skill pool, advances in communication technologies and the benefits of cost arbitrage. IT offshoring has seen many trends, from the pure sourcing model to the global one.
In the process, something significant has happened; what began as a low-cost tactic for staff supplementation by IT managers is morphing into a strategic option available to business planners and technologists.

The emerging industry of relocating business processes in the Philippines is fueled mostly by customer care, graphic design, and Information Technology. Though customer care call centers form the largest part of the BPO boom locally, the Philippines’ language proficient information technology, human resource, and other professionals are significant contributing factors as well. The proficiency of many Filipinos in English is a major factor in the growth of BPO in the Philippines.

Filipino animators do well in the global market for animation, which is fast growing due to the increasing popularity of animation as an entertainment medium not just for free and cable TV and the movies but also for computer games, as well as an advertising medium, a graphics medium for Internet content, and an information and educational tool.

Services range from full 2D and 3D animation, including pre- and post-production services such as layout, in-between, clean-up, digital background production through scanning and pre-compositing, color styling, special effects creation, and digital ink and paint application, to flash animation and web design, graphic and art design, mobile applications, and art and animation training.

Rounding up the Philippines’ advantages as a BPO destination are its strategic location, the availability of prime yet low-cost real estate in the country, its good and increasingly cost-competitive telecommunications and other business infrastructure, its expatriate-agreeable lifestyle, and its progressively IT-supportive policies and incentives.
