Philippines Continues Climb to the Top of BPO Destinations

Posted on: May 21st, 2012 by admin No Comments

iStock 000006861431Large Philippines Continues Climb to the Top of BPO Destinations The Philippines has made headlines over the past few weeks for its continual growth as a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) destination. The Philippines was ranked as the best country in the world in speaking business English, and Businessweek recently published an article showing that foreign investment in the Philippines is growing, which is one sign of a healthy and growing economy, with much of that growth in BPO industries.

In a recent study by GlobalEnglish Corporation, the Philippines ranked first in speaking business English, above even the United States. Speaking business English is a crucial skill for successful BPO, and both cultural influences and structural elements have helped the Philippines rise to the top in English language ability. Last year, the Philippines surpassed India as a call center destination, no doubt due in part to this aptitude for speaking English, and BPO is growing in many other sectors in the Philippines, including programming, web development, and graphic design outsourcing.

As we have previously noted on our blog, the Philippine government has made fostering BPO a priority since it brings good jobs to the Philippines, allowing Filipinos to work in their own country rather than needing to seek work abroad. It seems these efforts by the government are bearing fruit. Businessweek reports that Philippines BPO is on track to grow from $11 billion in 2011 to $25 billion in 2016—127 percent growth in five years. Of course, the English skill in the Philippines is a key driver of this growth, but additionally, the Philippine government is following through on commitments to improve governance and to improve infrastructure throughout the country, making the Philippines a reliable place to conduct business.

With continued support from the Philippine government and by tapping into the skilled workforce in the Philippines, companies seeking to lower costs and improve productivity will find that the Philippines offers all the ingredients for success in outsourcing programming, web development, internet marketing, and graphic design work.

Zylun’s Transition from Staffing Model to Outsourcing Partner Model

Posted on: October 3rd, 2011 by admin No Comments

Zylun has been instrumental in helping businesses increase their productivity and reduce their costs through its staffing model. With this model, it has enabled Zylun’s clients to hire teams working from Zylun’s Class A office space in the Philippines and it has allowed them to have control over staff selection and work ethic. Zylun has made a great impact on companies that would like to have the competitive edge in their industries yet not utilizing a lot of their resources on employee costs. Zylun’s clients have been very satisfied with this model, but Zylun is always seeking for ways to be more competent and efficient. Part of working with Zylun is being able to scale in an effective and simple manner.

Recently, Zylun has decided to switch to an outsourcing partner model on some of its services such as live chat and call center support to better serve its clients. This change will shorten the recruitment process in finding the right employees. For live chat and customer support, Zylun will provide coverage for clients and will train and manage the agents rather than the client. This adjustment will significantly help Zylun’s clients because their needs will be met in a simpler and faster way. Zylun provides experienced, college educated and highly dedicated employees and recruits, hires, monitors, motivates, and provides all of the tools, technology, and equipment needed to work with its clients’ management teams. This change proves Zylun’s commitment to help companies take advantage of a highly skilled global workforce in a simple and cost effective way. Only this time, it’s much simpler and smarter.
