The country’s boom is currently led by demand for offshore contact centers as well as Information Technology – Business Process Outsourcing “IT-BPO” operations. The IT-BPO sector growth has been led by shared services centers, wherein multinational companies outsource important internal functions to a company-owned offshore center. The industry is expected to grow another 20% in the Philippines in 2015.
