The Philippines over takes India to the rank no. 1 for the Global BPO Industry Leader



Philippines Take Over India as the World BPO Industry Business Leader

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - After challenging India for the top position for several years, the Philippines is now the world leader in business support functions like shares services and business process outsourcing, according to the latest reports and trends analyses.

In fact, the country overtook India in these categories last year, according to IBM's latest Global Locations Trend Annual Report, released recently in New York.

India now ranks No. 2, the first time it was not in the leading position for these activities, according to the IBM report, launched in October but made available online last month.

"The Philippines has taken over the lead in the global ranking from India," the report said.
The IBM report said the Philippines offered a similarly attractive business environment for international business support functions as India. Unlike India's BPO hot spots, however, labor costs here have not increased as much.

On Thursday (December 2), the Contract Center Association of the Philippines said the country had become the call centre of the world, with around 350,000 Filipinos working in call centers against India's 330,000-strong workforce.

Revenues from the country's call center industry are also expected to reach $5.7 billion this year, higher than India's $5.5 billion, the CCAP said.

The call centre industry, which provides so-called "voice" services like customer support and sales, is part of the BPO industry.

Call centres make up 70 percent of the BPO industry in the Philippines.
Currently, there are 600,000 Filipinos employed in the country's BPO industry, according to the Business Processing Association of the Philippines.


India Leading BPO is now in the Philippines

In yet another sign of the Philippines' BPO dominance, Tata Consultancy Services, the information technology services, business solutions and outsourcing arm of India's giant Tata Group, opened its first BPO centre in Southeast Asia at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, Manila, Philippines on Thursday.
"We believe that the Philippines has a very high quality of talent that can represent the company before our Asia-Pacific customers and our global customers," said Vish Iyer, head for the Asia-Pacific region for Tata Consultancy Services.

Iyer also said Tata chose the Philippines because it "wants to be here to see the Philippine BPO industry grow from its current $9 billion (in annual revenues) to the projected $25 billion in 2016."

The BPO centre that Tata Consultancy inaugurated will have 400 seats, and a target of three clients, including Citibank.

Abid Ali Z. Neemuchwala, vice president and global head for business process services and process excellence, said the company expects to more than double this to 1,000 seats and a target of five clients two years from now.

The firm generated revenues of about $6 billion last year.

Support for BPO industry

In November, Philippine senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago said she would file a measure to "jump-start legislative support for the BPO industry, especially its workers" and urged other legislators "to formulate laws supporting this booming sunshine industry".

According to the International Labour Organisation, the BPO industry may be broadly divided into voice services such as call and contact centers, and non-voice or "back office" services, like finance and accounting, data processing and management, and human resource development.

An ILO report released last July noted that Filipino BPO employees were earning 53 percent more than workers of the same age in other industries.

Local BPO employees also work 44.7 hours per week on the average, with overtime work averages of 1.12 hours per week.

Night work
The study also found that 42.6 per cent of BPO employees in the country work at night, and that respondents have reported sleep disorders, fatigue, eye strain and body pains.

Following India in IBM's ranking of BPO leaders were the United States, Poland, China, Britain, Columbia, Costa Rica, Fiji, Ireland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Hungary, Australia, Egypt, Chile, France, Canada, France, Singapore and the Netherlands.

The IBM report said Sri Lanka was another Asian country that had succeeded in positioning itself as an alternative to India. With Inquirer Research
