About Company
Offshoring many of the processes in your business offers one of the most exciting opportunities for a business to diversify its staff base and increase profits without any requirement to increase turnover. The ability to reclassify skilled resources to income earning functions is an added benefit for western-style management strategy that demands higher profits and lower costs while maintaining positive work ethics with improved resource capability.
Offshoring is the decentralisation of labour resources to another country. In our case, the Philippines. The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in the Philippines has become one of the country’s fastest growth sectors where it has been growing at an annual rate of 46% since 2006. In 2012, the BPO industry generated export earnings for the Philippines of around $9billion.
Reasons for this incredible growth are not hard to find when you consider cultural compatibility with western customs, superior telecommunications infrastructure, strong government and industry initiatives supporting BPO growth together with a highly skilled and available workforce.
Ultimately, your decision to outsource must be made on whether outsourcing can add value. You need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages for your company’s culture, service needs, staff skills and resources.
When stepping up to a 21st-century Philippines BPO like Profitmaster, our technology infrastructure fully integrates your offshore lower-cost resources with your onshore technical and management resources to create an almost seamless work environment with reduced overheads such as rent, office equipment and IT. How much or how little integration is up to you.
