Can outsourcing be stopped?

((Published in the BusinessMirror under the Mirror Image column, Nov 11, 2008) Now that President-elect Barack Obama will be inaugurated on January 20, 2009, many are holding their breath, especially the business-process outsourcing companies in India, the Philippines and others, as to how he can turn around the outsourcing of jobs from the United States. In debates and on the road, Obama repeatedly said that if elected, he would discourage companies from “shipping jobs overseas” by taking away tax breaks, or by giving benefit to those corporations that keep jobs domestically. “We can keep giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, or we can give tax benefits to companies that invest right here in New Hampshire,” Senator Obama said at a joint appearance with Sen.

According to CIO magazine, economists and legal advisers contacted about those comments said they are unaware of any specific tax breaks aimed at offshoring or outsourcing

Innovation in BPO

(Published in the Business Mirror under the Mirror Image Column, Sept 12, 2007) The BPO sector has grown by spectacular levels, providing employment to more than 200,000 BPO professionals. It is projected to grow on the average 38 percent until 2010, contributing more than $12 billion in revenue. Similar to the experience of India, much of the growth in the Philippine BPO sector has been driven by relatively lower labor costs. This has been the salient characteristic of the first phase of global BPO development which took place in the 90’s through the early 2000’s, where clients and providers alike placed emphasis on cost, efficiency and productivity. As clients in the US and Europe searched for ways to bring down cost further, they turned to providers in India, Philippines, and others to provide low labor costs to perform customer care, HR, and accounting BPO services. As established BPO providers are besieged by new entrants from China, Latin America, and other relatively lower cost

Future of outsourcing and offshoring

(Published in Business World under the View from Taft column, June 18, 2009) Amid the mixed forecasts on the global economic rebound, experts on the outsourcing and offshoring industry are consistently painting a rosy picture toward the end of the year. According to the 2009 edition of the Black Book of Outsourcing, more than half of companies polled say they expect their spending on outsourcing services to come back and return to pre-recession levels. Similarly, a Business Processing Association of the Philippine (BPA/P) survey among industry players showed that 96% of respondents representing organizations that provide non-voice Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services believe that 2009 prospects for their organizations are good, excellent, or outstanding. More than half of the respondents, 51%, said prospects are excellent. All these forecasts bode well for the local industry, but more likely than not, the industry will never be the same after the global slump that we are experie
