Philippines Top BPO Site Says UK Trade Groups
A trade association based in the United Kingdom has recognized the Philippines as the best place to outsource services.
At its fourth annual awards held in London, the National Outsourcing Association (NOA) picked the country as the “offshoring†destination of the year. Offshoring refers to outsourcing work to another country.
The Philippines was represented by Team Europe, a group composed of the Business Process Association of the Philippines (BPAP) and the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP).
In a statement, Team Europe Project Leader Stephanie Weber said the award would further make the Philippines a preferred destination by European firms for outsourcing some of their work.
The awards ceremony, which took place at The Brewery in London, was attended by almost 500 of the “most influential people in the outsourcing world,†the NOA said in its website.
“Over the last four years, the NOAAs have become a landmark in the acceptance of outsourcing as a legitimate business practice and recognize the efforts of companies or people who have shown excellence in the field of outsourcing,†the website added.
Also awarded in other categories were IBM and Sitel, both of which have delivery centers located in the Philippines.
